Sneh Rana unleashed her onslaught, taking eight wickets in her attack as South Africa joined the fray.
In the one-off test between India and South Africa women in Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium, the Indian women are in the lead. Before declaring on Day 2, India amassed a formidable total of 603 runs, led by a double century from Shafali Verma.
Sneh Rana took eight wickets in 25.3 overs, bowling four maidens and conceding just 77 runs. With 266 runs scored, the Proteas’ innings came to an end as a consequence, and India welcomed them to continue. It would be difficult for the visitors to chase a target of 337 runs as the Chennai deck starts to favour the spinners heading into Day 3. For the India Women, Deepti Sharma contributed two wickets in addition to Rana.
“Getting Wolvaardt out of the game was a great feeling. We were merely looking for the initial breakthrough since the openers were playing really well. I was thrilled to receive that it was Wolvaardt, as stated by Rana, as cited by ESPNcricinfo.
In Mumbai, Sneh Rana displayed her artistic talent vs Australia.
The off-spinner has been India’s go-to bowler since the One-Off Test in December 2023, when she displayed her skill with the ball against formidable Australia. In a historic win against Australia, she had taken seven wickets with 75 runs yet to be chased. She accepted that Test cricket is a whole different ball game and attributed her success to keeping things simple. She was selected Player of the Match.

“There was really little planning involved. Red-ball cricket is a long game, so there was no need to explore. In terms of my bowling, I’ve always focused on bowling via the appropriate channels and playing to my abilities. So I answered both the current and the prior test in the same way. After the victory, Rana had stated, “I didn’t experiment; I just stayed calm.”
