The action heats up in Bridgetown as West Indies Women take on South Africa Women in the second ODI of the three-match series on June 14, 2025, at the historic Three Ws Oval. The match begins at 7:30 PM IST, with both teams looking to gain the upper hand in what promises to be another riveting contest.
West Indies return to home conditions after a testing tour of England, where they suffered a 3-0 whitewash in both ODIs and T20Is. Their hopes for a place in the 2025 ICC Women’s ODI World Cup were also dashed in April when they finished third in the qualifiers — narrowly missing out due to a net run rate deficit of just 0.013 compared to Bangladesh.
For South Africa, this series marks the start of a packed calendar that includes a home ODI series against Pakistan — a vital preparation phase before the World Cup in India. However, their recent record is a concern, having won just one of four matches in the Sri Lanka tri-series and three of their last 13 ODIs.
In the series opener, South Africa posted a competitive 232 after electing to bat. Tazmin Brits impressed with a fluent half-century, becoming the second-fastest South African woman to reach 1000 ODI runs. She and skipper Laura Wolvaardt put together a 73-run stand, but the innings lost steam due to sharp spells from Karishma Ramharack and Afy Fletcher, along with two crucial runouts. A late flurry from Nadine de Klerk, who scored 42 off 38, helped South Africa finish on a strong note.
West Indies replied in style, as Qiana Joseph (60 off 58) and Hayley Matthews (40) added 88 for the first wicket. Though the middle-order stumbled, rain shortened the game and set a revised target of 180 from 34 overs. Veteran Stafanie Taylor remained composed with a steady 30* to guide her side home with six wickets and two overs in hand. Ramharack and Aaliyah Alleyne claimed two wickets each in a solid bowling display.
