0 instances of India Women whitewashing South Africa Women in a bilateral ODI series of any length. In fact, only once have they whitewashed an opposition away from home in a series of 3 or more matches. They did this in the 2004 Women’s Asia Cup in Sri Lanka — where Sri Lanka Women were the only other side. India swept the series 5-0.
0.83 win-loss ratio for South Africa at Senwes Park, Potchefstroom. However, they have a 2-1 lead over India Women here, though India won the last match between the two teams on this ground, in the final of the quadrangular trophy last year.
