Visakhapatnam, Oct 9 (PTI) South Africa's captain Laura Wolvaardt opted to bowl first after winning the toss against India in their Women's ODI World Cup clash on Thursday. Despite a delayed start caused by wet conditions from prior rain and persistent drizzle, both teams are raring to go. The South African side made a key change, substituting Masabata Klaas with Tumi Sekhukhune. On the Indian front, Amanjot Kaur was brought in to replace Renuka Singh.

India has had a strong showing so far in the tournament, securing victories against Sri Lanka and Pakistan in their earlier matches. The team compositions are as follows: India's line-up features Smriti Mandhana, Pratika Rawal, Harleen Deol, captain Harmanpreet Kaur, Jemimah Rodrigues, Deepti Sharma, wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh, Amanjot Kaur, Sneh Rana, Kranti Goud, and Shree Charani. Meanwhile, South Africa fields Laura Wolvaardt as captain, alongside Tazmin Brits, Sune Luus, Marizanne Kapp, Anneke Bosch, wicketkeeper Sinalo Jafta, Chloe Tryon, Nadine de Klerk, Tumi Sekhukhune, Ayabonga Khaka, and Nonkululeko Mlaba.
