Last month, women’s captain Mithali Raj had expressed her disappointment after the team’s tour of South Africa was not televised.

“Now people back home are keen to watch on television, they want to know what the Indian women’s team is doing in South Africa,” Raj had said. “It is just unfortunate the ODIs weren’t televised but I am happy the T20s were televised and we have given a very good result.”

India in form:

The women in Blue enjoyed a fantastic tour of South Africa. India won the ODIs and T20Is by 2-1 and 3-1 respectively. With form on their side, the Indian women will be looking to deliver well in the upcoming games. Moreover, Mithali Raj  & Co. had defeated both the opponents in last year’s World Cup and will be high on confidence.
