The action continues in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 as South Africa Women take on Bangladesh Women on Monday, October 13, at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. Both teams are at opposite ends of the momentum scale, making this clash a key contest in the tournament.
Confident South Africa Eye Third Straight Win
South Africa come into this game riding high after two consecutive wins against New Zealand and India, recovering strongly from their opening defeat to England. Their last outing was a hard-fought chase against India, where they successfully hunted down 252 runs with three wickets in hand. After being in trouble at 81/5, the trio of Laura Wolvaardt, Chloe Tryon, and Nadine de Klerk guided the Proteas to a remarkable victory.
Bangladesh Seek to Regain Rhythm
Bangladesh started their campaign with an impressive win over Pakistan, but back-to-back heavy losses against England and New Zealand have dented their confidence. The 100-run defeat to the White Ferns exposed their batting frailties, and they’ll need a major turnaround to challenge a strong South African lineup. Skipper Nigar Sultana will hope her players bring their best game to avoid slipping further down the table.

Pitch Report – ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium
The Visakhapatnam surface has offered a fine balance between bat and ball. Pacers enjoy early movement, but as the match progresses, spinners come into play and make scoring difficult. Teams that preserve wickets for the last 10 overs can capitalize with a strong finish.

Best Batter – Tazmin Brits (South Africa)
Tazmin Brits has been in fine touch this tournament. Her match-winning 101 off 89 balls against New Zealand displayed her ability to dominate attacks. Despite a duck in the previous game, she remains a key player who can provide South Africa with a solid start.
Best Bowler – Nonkululeko Mlaba (South Africa)
Left-arm spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba has picked up six wickets in three games at an impressive average of 15.83. Her control and variations make her a crucial weapon in the middle overs, especially against Bangladesh’s right-hand-heavy lineup.
Prediction: South Africa Women to Win
With form, momentum, and experience on their side, South Africa Women are strong favorites to secure their third consecutive victory. Bangladesh will need something special from their top order to stay competitive in this fixture.
