After a dominating ODI series and One-Off Test victory, India taste their first loss of the series against South Africa in the first T20I at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai as South Africa edged past them by 12 runs. South Africa put up a very good score on the board batting first, as the Proteas Women, led by the batting performance of Tazmin Brits and Marizanne Kapp, pushed India in the backfoot with a big chase on the cards.  India put up a decent fight as Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues and Harmanpreet Kaur were amongst runs. But in the end they fell short of 12 runs as Nonkululeko Mlaba and Ayabonga Khaka were on point in the final two overs. India will like to change the result as South Africa can seal the series by winning the second game. IND-W vs SA-W 1st T20I 2024: Tazmin Brits And Marizanne Kapp's Fifties Power South Africa to 12-Run Victory Against India.

India is unlikely to make a big shuffle in the playing XI in the second T20I. Their top five is pretty much settled and in form and the challenge in hand will be to adapt to conditions and play accordingly. Dayalan Hemalatha would be the one in focus as she lost the touch in the last game conceding a lot of dot ball which ended up being the difference maker. Richa Ghosh being promoted can be a key weapon for India in the second T20I. For South Africa, not much needs to be changed. Laura Wolvaardt has been in form and with Tazmin Brits and Marizanne Kapp in form too, Proteas Women pose a big challenge to India.
