The stage has been set for an exhilarating clash with the one-off Test between India Women and South Africa Women, set to begin on June 28 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Notably, as both teams make the move from the recently concluded ODI series to the longest format of the game, this highly anticipated run-in marks an important turning point.
In addition, the Indian team would be aiming to keep up their winning streak after their excellent ODI series performance. Following an emphatic win over the Proteas, the hosts proved to be an explosive threat. Their prowess seems stunning as a home team this time. However, South Africa will be keen to make a comeback. The Proteas have a solid and competent team that can turn the situation around, even though they faltered in the ODI series.
Meanwhile, the South African women’s team is currently touring India for a multi-format series. The hosts dominated the three-match ODI series to kick off their journey. In addition, they held a 3-0 lead all game, ensuring that South Africa didn’t get closer.
However, the side is all set to face a one-off test commencing on June 28 at the MA Chidambaram Cricket Stadium in Chennai. Harmanpreet Kaur-led India will aim to keep up their winning streak after entering as the favorites. However, the pitch may change starting on Day 1, so it will be a test for the South African batters.

Pitch Report
It won’t be surprising if the ball starts spinning on the first day of play, as the Chennai surface is a turning wicket. The bowlers will be the dominant side in this game, and with the overcast skies adding to the difficulty, fast bowlers will also be receiving help.
Must Pick For Fantasy
1. Harmanpreet Kaur- India’s skipper, Harmanpreet Kaur, has been one of the best batters in all three formats. She recently guided her side to win the ODI series. The middle-order batter sets to play a pivotal role in guiding his side to win one off-Test. The stylish right-handed batter will be looking to bolster the camp with her great performance, so one must keep her.
2. Jemimah Rodrigues- The star cricketer is set to play a major role in the top and middle orders of the game. The Delhi Capitals batter must be on your team. She plays extremely well under pressure and seems like the biggest threat for Proteas camp.
Captains
The ODI series witnessed the Indian left-handed opener at the top of his game. Considering a high score to get, Smriti Mandhana will be hoping to continue her recent achievement.
The South African all-rounder is will be the prime contributor with both the bat and the ball. Marizanne Kapp will be the safest pick from the South African team.
Top
The star all-rounder is a big threat to the opposition when there is a little bit of assistance to the spinners. Besides her bowling, Deepti Sharma can also be an effective contributor with the bat.
The Indian wicket-keeper batter bats in the top-order in this format. Richa Ghosh has shown good temperament previously and could turn out to be a differential choice in the game.
Budget
Nonkululeko Mlaba SA-W | bowl- 8.5
The South African spinner could give you some important points in the fantasy contests as there will be assistance on the track for the spinners and Nonkululeko Mlaba might pick up a few wickets.
She is a patient and technically minded batter, and with form on her side, having scored 184*, 4, 135*, and 61 in her previous 4 ODIs, the team will bank on their best batter to replicate this success in red-ball cricket.
