India vs South Africa, World Cup 2025: Indian pacer Kranti Gaud bowled an exceptional early spell to get India's first wicket during South Africa's ongoing chase of 252 in match number 9 of the ICC Women's ODI World Cup on Thursday. The centurion from South Africa's last match, Tazmin Brits, played one straight towards Gaud as she took a sharp return catch on her follow-through.

It was an important wicket for the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side as Brits has been in the form of her life, scoring five centuries in the ongoing calendar year. Brits, with her innings (110), batted New Zealand out of the game to secure an important win for her side.
