The Indian women’s team is looking to save the series during the third T20I clash against South Africa at the Wanderers Stadium this Wednesday.
The Proteas have been in control from the start, winning the first two games by six and eight wickets respecctively.
While India showed some spirit in the initial match by pushing the hosts until the very last over, they were eventually thwarted by Laura Wolvaardt and Annerie Dercksen.
The second encounter was far less competitive, as the Indian squad collapsed under pressure. Despite a quick half-century from Shafali Verma, the team only reached a total of 147.
South African bowlers Chloe Tryon and Tumi Sekhukhune ended with three wickets each. The chase was then made simple by fifties from Sune Luus and Wolvaardt, and the hosts finished with seventeen balls to spare.
