South Africa introduced 17-year-old wicketkeeper-batter Karabo Meso, who made her ODI debut

Here’s a summary of the second match of the women’s tri-series between India and South Africa in Colombo: India Opt to Bat First — Unchanged Line-up India won the toss and elected to bat first under clear skies. The Indian side remains unchanged from their convincing nine-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the series opener. Only three Indian batters were needed in the previous game, so they’ll look to give others some game time — but not at the expense of victory. Debutants Kashvee Gautam (seamer) and Shree Charani (left-arm spinner) retained their spots. Arundhati Reddy continues to lead the pace attack, supported by spinners Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana, and Pratika Rawal. 🇿🇦 South Africa Make Changes — Debut for Karabo Meso South Africa handed a debut to 17-year-old Karabo Meso, who was slotted to bat at No. 4, replacing the experienced Sinalo Jafta. Lara Goodall came into the XI in place of Anneke Bosch, who is out due to injury. Chloe Tryon was listed to bat at No. 8, showing South Africa’s depth in batting. The team’s bowling attack includes: Three spinners: Tryon, Nonkululeko Mlaba, and Sune Luus. Four seamers: Masabata Klaas, Ayabonga Khaka, Annerie Dercksen, and Nadine de Klerk. Weather & Match Context Although the skies were clear at the start, afternoon showers are forecast, which could influence South Africa's chase. South Africa are playing their first match since their Test against England in December.
