England vs South Africa Live Streaming, Women’s ODI World Cup 2025: Pitch Report and Conditions
The ACA Stadium pitch is likely to be batting-friendly, providing genuine bounce and even-paced conditions for batters to drive their shots. The spinners can expect some help towards the latter stages of the game, but the early overs should be conducive for pacers, who can deliver movement from the pitch.
Guwahati weather can be expected to remain clear, with perfect playing conditions. The players, and more so the bowlers, will face a challenging afternoon with heat and humidity, but this will not interfere with play.
England vs South Africa Live Streaming, Women’s ODI World Cup 2025: Match Prediction
England begin slight favorites based on their experience and strength in batting and bowling. Nat Sciver-Brunt’s captaincy and the availability of all-rounders such as Sophie Ecclestone and Charlie Dean provide them with the upper hand in both departments.
South Africa can’t be ruled out, though. Laura Wolvaardt’s good form at the top order and the pace line-up headed by Marizanne Kapp and Tumi Sekhukhune can cause problems for England early on.
Prediction: If England’s top order plays and if the bowlers can keep their discipline intact, they should have a winning start. South Africa would require big inputs from both bat and ball to be able to cause an upset.
