Analysis
The Indian women have looked at their dominant best against South Africa through the first two legs of the tour. The Indian batting has looked incredible with Smriti Mandhana leading the charge with her magical run-scoring form. On the bowling front, the Women in Blue have struggled in a few moments but the pace bowling duo of Pooja Vastrakar and Renuka Thakur Singh have done well.
On the other hand, South Afrian team have done decently well but failed to get a single win under their belt. The batting has been carried by the South African captain Laura Wolvaardt, who scored consistent runs and given great starts to her side. Talking about the bowling, Marizanne Kapp has continued her top form while Masabata Klaas, Nonkululeko Mlaba and Ayabonga Khaka have performed well.
