Sneh Rana brilliantly bowls dangerous Marizanne Kapp in IND-W vs SA-W in ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025

While South Africa Women started to challenge the target against the hosts India Women in the important league stage game of the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025, Sneh Rana produced a very important wicket for the home team by dismissing dangerous-looking Marizanne Kapp. 

South Africa Women sent the hosts India Women to bat first in the delayed start, where India Women scored 251 all out, as they shifted the game from 102/6, thanks to two late 50+ partnerships, including Richa Ghosh's another inspiring knock of 94 runs off just 77 balls with 11 fours and four sixes. 

Marizanne Kapp was dropped for 1 run

Chasing down the target, South Africa Women were two wickets down to just 18 runs. The Indian team dropped one chance of experienced and dangerous batter Marizanne Kapp, who was just 1 run when Pratika Rawal dropped her at backward point. After that luck, Kapp was becoming dangerous as Proteas suddenly raised the run-rate to pressurize the Indian bowlers. 

However, the off-spinner Sneh Rana was really good and tight with the ball, as even the dangerous Kapp was also struggling. However, the tension for the hosts was rising with the growing partnership between the opener Laura Wolvarrdt and Kapp, which made the run rate a little rushed already.

Sneh Rana brilliantly bowled Marizanne Kapp

Then the disciplined Sneh Rana came to bowl the 14th over of the innings. It was her fourth over, starting her disciplined bowling from the powerplay, and she conceded only eight runs in her first three overs. While Wolvarrdt and Kapp already set a 39-run partnership for the third wicket, as South Africa Women just crossed the 50-run mark, Rana delivered three dots on her first three balls in her fourth over of the innings. Underpressure Kapp, who scored 20 runs off 24 balls with two fours and one six, decided to step down, and Rana learnt it early as she delivered the challenging fuller ball that drifted away, which Kapp missed, and it hit the wickets. Now, South Africa Women scoreboard looked as 57/3.
