While South Africa have been lucky with the toss thrice, their players have also performed exceptionally well, with their batters and bowlers showing remarkable improvement from the last time they were in India when they were swept away 0-3 in the ODI series in Vadodara.

The five-match ODI series against a resurgent South Africa has raised more questions than provided answers for the Indian women’s team’s build-up to the next year’s ICC World Cup. India’s bowlers have been found wanting to the extent that that they have not been able to defend totals in excess of 250 twice in a row.
Already 1-3 down, the hosts need to make a strong comeback in the last match to salvage some pride and also boost their morale ahead of the three-match T20I series.
The pitches at the Atal Behar Stadium have been so placid that teams defending totals have lost all four matches. The storyline of all the games has been: win the toss, bowl first and chase down whatever the target.
