Visakhapatnam, Oct 9
South Africa won the toss and elected to bowl first against India in Match 10 of the ICC Women's ODI World Cup at the ACA-VDCA International Cricket Stadium here on Thursday.
The toss was delayed because of a brief spell of rain and resultant wet outfield that forced the ground staff to bring out the covers. The first ball will be bowled after 4 pm with no loss of overs despite the delay.
The match is very crucial for both India and South Africa. India, chasing their maiden title, are hoping to continue their winning spree after winning their first two matches, while South Africa, three-time semifinalists, are eyeing their second win after starting their campaign with a defeat to England.
