Analysis
The captain Harmanpreet Kaur, Smriti Mandhana, and Jemimah Rodrigues batted well in the first T20I of the series for India, but they were unable to chase down the massive target of 190 runs. The bowling was quite a let down for India in the first T20I except for Pooja Vastrakar, who bowled a four-over spell of 2/23, which they will be needing to improve in the remainder of the series.
For South Africa, the captain Laura Wolvaardt, Tazmin Brits, and Marizanne Kapp were exceptional with the bat, ensuring that the team posted an above par total of 189 runs in the first T20I. In the bowling side of things, Nadine de Klerk and Nonkululeko Mlaba bowled decent spells, picking up key wickets in the run chase, to ensure that South Africa got across the finish line for the first-time on tour.
