South Africa are gearing up to host Sri Lanka in the second Women’s ODI of the ongoing three-match series, which is part of the ICC Women’s Championship. The match is scheduled to take place following a rain-affected first ODI that ended without a result.

In the opening encounter, South Africa, after being asked to bat first, posted an impressive total of 270/6 in their 50 overs. Tazmin Brits played a standout innings, scoring a remarkable century to anchor the hosts’ batting performance.

In response, Sri Lanka managed 23/0 in 6.5 overs before rain disrupted play, leading to the match being abandoned. Both teams will be hoping for better weather conditions in the upcoming match to avoid a similar outcome.
