Chasing a challenging target of 299, South Africa displayed resilience and composure to reach 52 for one in the first 10 overs against India in the ICC Women's ODI World Cup final on Sunday.

Openers Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits began cautiously, accumulating 51 runs before Brits was run out by a precise throw from Amanjot Kaur. The pair managed to hit six fours and a six, setting a promising platform.
