The Bangladesh W vs South Africa W match in the 2025 ODI Women’s World Cup is scheduled to take place at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on October 13. The weather report from Visakhapatnam for 13 October is that there is a 40% chance that rain could cause a delay in this match. From the past few matches that have been played at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, it is noted that this pitch is very well balanced, but there is a high chance of dew, which benefits the chasing team.
The average score on this pitch is around 250-270. Yesterday, the Indian women’s team scored 330 runs while batting first on this same pitch, which was easily chased by the Australian women’s team. The toss-winning team will likely decide to bowl first, as the chasing team has a slight advantage on this pitch.
The Bangladeshi women’s team has faced the South African women’s team 21 times in an ODI match, with South Africa having the upper hand and winning 18 of these matches. In the ODI Women’s World Cup, both teams have faced each other 4 times, with South Africa again having an upper hand and winning 3 of these matches. South Africa is coming into this match with confidence, as they defeated an in-form Indian Women’s team in their last match. Meanwhile, the Bangladeshi women’s team lost their last match against the New Zealand women’s team by 100 runs.
Bangladesh W vs South Africa W 2025 ODI Women’s World Cup: What to Expect?
The Bangladesh W vs South Africa W match will be a very crucial match for both teams. The South African women’s team has played 3 matches so far in this tournament, and they have won 2 of these matches and lost 1. Currently, they sit in 4th position in the table with 4 points, and they have a net run rate of -0.888. If the South African women’s team can beat the Bangladeshi women’s team, they will reach 6 points in the table and will only need to win 1-2 matches from their remaining 3 group stage matches to qualify for the semi-finals in the 2025 ODI Women’s World Cup.
However, if South Africa loses, they will then have to win all their remaining group stage matches with high margins to have a chance to qualify for the semi-finals.
On the other hand, the Bangladeshi women’s team has also played 3 matches in this tournament. They have lost 2 and won 1 match. So far, their only victory has come against the Pakistani women’s team. If Bangladesh can defeat South Africa in this match, they will reach 4 points in the table and will only need to win 2-3 matches from their remaining 3 group stage matches.
However, if they lose this match, their 2025 ODI Women’s World Cup journey will almost come to an end. If they lose this match, then even if they win their remaining group stage matches, they can only reach up to 8 points, and their hopes to qualify for the semi-finals in the 2025 ODI Women’s World Cup will entirely lie on their net run rate. So, this match will be a must-win for both these teams to stay alive in the race for the semi-finals.
