NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: South Africa A solid batting effort from the India Women helps them post a substantial score of 337/9 from their 50 overs. Having been sent into bat first, India Women lost three wickets inside the first seven overs, but Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues added an 88-run stand to steady the ship and set a strong base.
Mandhana was dismissed after getting her fifty, but Rodrigues carried on and smashed an outstanding hundred for her side.
