India women look to seal series vs SA

India have a 1-0 lead courtesy a 143-run win in the first game. But the win, as comprehensive as it was, also left some questions unanswered

India will expect their top-order batters to produce a tidier effort against South Africa in the second women’s ODI here on Wednesday in their quest for an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

India have a 1-0 lead courtesy a 143-run win in the first game. But the win, as comprehensive as it was, also left some questions unanswered. 

The home side rode on Smriti Mandhana’s hundred and a fine spell by spinners to outclass SA, but it was not enough to paper over some wide cracks with the bat.

The most glaring of them is the underwhelming ODI outings of opener Shafali Verma.
