The Mercury
|October 09, 2025
“IND-YAAA, IND-YAAA!” This is the chant that will reverberate around Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VCDA Cricket Stadium whenever Smriti Mandhana elegantly strokes the ball through the covers.
PROTEAS allrounder Nadine de Klerk is hoping for a fast start against India today.
(AFP)
Drums will beat, trumpets and whistles blown, flags waved, and grown men fully painted in the tri-colours will create a cacophony of noise that the Proteas Women have yet to encounter.
Facing India, in a World Cup, at home, is simply a different beast to any other challenge, but one the Proteas are looking to embrace.
“It’s always a challenge, but I think it's also nice,” Proteas allrounder Nadine de Klerk said on the eve of this mouthwatering World Cup clash.
