After losing their first match of the 2025 ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup league stage, New Zealand and South Africa will be desperate for a turnaround of fortunes. The teams will be meeting in match #7 on Monday at the Holkar Stadium in Indore, and our prediction is that the White Ferns will win over the Proteas.
Both teams have zero points after one match. South Africa are at the bottom of the eight-member group stage with a net run rate of minus 3.773, while New Zealand are just above them with minus 1.780.
New Zealand couldn’t compete against Australia at this venue on Wednesday and lost by 89 runs. They allowed Australia to post 326, despite Lea Tahuhu (3 for 42) and Jess Kerr (3 for 59) sparkling in patches.
The New Zealand team's reply never took off, and Captain Sophie Devine’s 112 runs were in vain as the team was bundled out for 237 in 43.2 overs. The White Ferns have now lost eight of their 11 completed recent ODIs.
South Africa lost by 10 wickets to England after crumbling to 69 all out in 20.4 overs. Only Sinalo Jafta (22) got into double figures, with extras (eight) being the next best! The chase was completed in just 14.1 overs, giving the Proteas a 12th defeat in their last 18 matches.
