On October 13, the Bangladesh W vs South Africa W match in the 2025 ODI Women’s World Cup took place at the Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam. This was the third straight match that took place on this pitch, and just like all the previous matches, the dew factor in this match played a huge role. The Bangladeshi women’s team won the toss for this crucial match, and they decided to bat first. Bangladesh started their innings with a 50+ opening partnership between their openers, Rubya Haider and Fargana Hoque. The highest score from Bangladesh was scored by Shorna Akter, who scored the fastest half-century of the 2025 ODI Women’s World Cup; she scored 51 runs in just 35 balls. The Bangladeshi women’s team was able to score 232 runs for 6 wickets in 50 overs.
While chasing, the South African women’s team lost their first wickets in the second over at the score of 3 runs. They kept losing wickets after wickets, as their upper batting order completely collapsed against the Bangladeshi bowling attack. At one point, South Africa’s score was 78 for 5 wickets. However, after that, Marizanne Kapp and Chloe Tryon developed a match-saving partnership of more than 80 runs. This partnership stabilized South Africa’s chase. The winning innings once again came from Nadine de Klerk, who scored 37* runs from 29 balls, and secured the victory for South Africa by hitting a six. The Player of the Match award was given to Chloe Tryon.
