Editing India Women vs South Africa Women (section)

=== 🧭 Match Summary ===
India began confidently after being sent in to bat, with Smriti Mandhana anchoring the innings and Richa Ghosh launching a counter-attack that thrilled the crowd. Their partnership lifted India to a solid total of 251, despite a middle-order collapse.

When South Africa began their chase, early wickets tilted momentum toward India, but Nadine de Klerk’s fearless batting turned the tide. Her blistering 84 not out off 54 balls was a masterclass in power-hitting and composure under pressure. Supported by Laura Wolvaardt’s controlled innings, South Africa reached the target with seven balls to spare.

The win showcased South Africa’s growing resilience and depth. India’s bowlers, though disciplined early on, failed to close out the game in the death overs — a recurring theme they’ll need to fix before the knockout rounds.
