That's it from our coverage of match number 10 in the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025. An exciting encounter between hosts India and arch rivals South Africa at Visakhapatnam. This is turning out to be the most exciting first few games of a Women's World Cup and more action beholds us. Until then, that will be it from the commentators Ninaad Dixit, Akshay Bhide, scorer Zeeshan Naiyer and statistician Aman. STAY TUNED AND TAKE CARE!
Laura Wolvaardt (South Africa Women Captain): "That was incredible. I don't think I have seen like that in my career. I'm still lost for words. That was extremely good.
Found myself in a pickle early. We had a lot of conversations. We knew we were ahead of them runs wise. They had a strong finish but we knew we had to take it deep and we back ourselves.
(On Nadine de Klerk) So special. She has been hitting like that in the nets. I think just the temperament that she showed while batting with the tailenders was incredible.
I think Richa batted really well. We tried to go wide plans with her. She played those really well. She's one of the best batters in the death and it's hard to contain her. 230-240 would have been good.
I think our pace bowlers did really well. The spin was tougher to face today. We did a good job to restrict them to 250 with all the pace bowlers."

Harmanpreet Kaur (India Captain): "Tough game. Both teams played really well. We collapsed while batting still managed 251 on the board. We got early wickets but in the end de Klerk and Tryon batted really well. They deserved to win because of their knocks.
[Ghosh's knock] Richa has been always outstanding for us, she can always turn the game. Very pleased to see her hit those big hits. She can always get us a big total on the board. Hopefully she'll continue.
As a top order we need to take the responsibility and bat a bit longer. We kept losing wickets when we were in the middle but a lot of learning for us because in the last 3 games we've been doing the same mistake again and again. We need to sit and discuss what can work for us to get a decent total on the board.
[Regroup ahead of Australia game] It's a long tournament. Today was a tough game for us but a lot of learning, a lot of positives to see and we have good games coming up. Important to keep us in the positive frame of mind and keep doing the right things and keep improving day by day."

Nadine de Klerk (Player of the Match): "Yeah, look at the moment, I'm lost for words. We have done a lot of good things for the last few days. To finish off the game, it gives a lot of confidence to our group moving forward.
I feel a lot easy under pressure. Playing India at home, we knew we had to be at our best. They got a good total. But it's a good feeling to get across the line and beat a strong side.
I think when me and Chloe got together, we spoke about taking it deep. Even if we had to score 10s in the last five, we back ourselves. Laura also played really well today. It all came together. We left a little too much at the back end but glad that it came off today.
(On her power-hitting) It comes quite natural. That's my role in the side. To come at eight and put pressure on the bowlers. It was good to get myself in. That was a good wicket. I knew if I gave myself some chance, I can get the team across the line.
We have a couple of days off before we play here again. Just reflect and come back to face Bangladesh."
