IND-W vs SA-W First ODI Live Toss Updates: Bengaluru weather forecast, ticket details, live streaming
India and South Africa will be eager to achieve different goals with the broader picture of the Women’s T20 World Cup hanging in the backdrop when they begin a three-week long all-format series with the first ODI here on Sunday.
In the year of T20 WC, the 50-over matches might look a bit incongruous but they are significant for the two teams looking to hit a busy road to the ICC showpiece, to be hosted by Bangladesh in October, on a winning note, and gain momentum.
The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side, which had lost the ODI and T20I series against Australia at home this January, came roaring back, blanking Bangladesh 5-0 in a recent away T20I series and the hosts would like to build on it further.
BENGALURU WEATHER FORECAST FOR TODAY
Our correspondent Sudarshan says it’s bright and sunny in the Karnataka capital today. However, there’s fairly cloudy weather predicted for most part of the day. Cool temperatures expected with a maximum of 29 degrees.
TOSS RECORD AT THE M CHINNASWAMY STADIUM:
The M Chinnaswamy Stadium has hosted 12 Women’s ODIs in its history. The last women’s ODI hosted here was in July 2015, when India took on New Zealand. Teams winning the toss have won six games and lost six games. Teams batting first have won only three games at this venue, a ground known to favour chasing sides courtesy its smaller peripheries.
