After posting consecutive 100-plus stands, Mandhana and Raut have not been in their elements. Mandhana, especially, could not see off the new ball in the last match. Raut, on the other hand, has been instrumental when it comes to resurrecting a falling innings. Mithali, however, continued being Mithali, notching up scores of 71, 46, 8, 53.
South Africa pacer Marizanne Kapp is the highest wicket-taker of the tournament, taking 8 wickets at 17.37. Leg-spinner Dane van Niekerk has 5 wickets to her name at 7.60
All the same, the Indian spinners rule the bowling chart. Ekta Bisht and Deepti Sharma have taken 7 wickets each.
