India vs South Africa team news, squads
The Indian top-order is in fine form, including the hundred-run partnership between Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma in the 95-run victory over Netherlands.
The bowling department is led by the likes of Deepti Sharma and Shree Charani.
India squad: Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Smriti Mandhana (vc), Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Bharti Fulmali, Deepti Sharma, Richa Ghosh (wk), Shree Charani, Yastika Bhatia (wk), Nandani Sharma, Arundhati Reddy, Renuka Singh, Kranti Gaud, Shreyanka Patil, Radha Yadav.
Captain Laura Wolvaardt is likely to have the same team from the Pakistan win, but will hope for a better show by the batters after their tight run chase.
Annerie Dercksen and Nadine de Klerk contributed significantly in the middle order last time out, and the spin bowling of Nonkululeko Mlaba could be an important factor against India.
