India women crushed South Africa women by an innings and 34 runs in the one-off Test match played at Mysore. Thirush Kamini and Poonam Raut notched up well-measured hundreds. Harmanpreet Kaur was the star performer with a ball in hand as she took nine wickets in the match.
For South Africa, Mignon du Preez, South Africa's captain, played with fine prowess of adhesion to essay a hundred. In fact, when du Preez and Trisha Chetty were batting at the crease, South Africa seemed to have a glimmer of hope of saving the Test match. However, once du Preez was dismissed by Rajeshwari Gayakwari, wickets fell at regular intervals and South Africa eventually lost the game by a huge margin.
This is only the second time India have met South Africa in a Test match. Back in 2001-02, India thumped South Africa by 10 wickets at Boland Park.
