Surat: Indian women cricket team will aim to start their five-match T20I series against South Africa on a positive note when the two side will face each-other for the opening T20I match on Tuesday.
India women can't afford to take South Africa women lightly despite their recent domination over the visitors in the shortest format of the game.
In the last five matches between the two sides, India women won three while lost one with the other game ending in no result.
Playing on familiar home conditions, India women would definitely have an edge over the visitors in the upcoming series but they can't take things for granted as South Africa women have proved how dangerous they can be in the second warm-up game played here on Sunday.
After the first warm-up game was washed out, South Africa women crushed Board President's XI by 83 runs in a lop-sided affair to make their intentions clear.
The visitors had put on a challenging 174 for five after opting to bat on Sunday and then bundled out BPXI for meagre 91 to kick off their tour on a positive note.
Come Tuesday, the Proteas would be brimming with confidence. They would be depending on opener Lizelle Lee, who scored a quick 65 in the second warm-up game, and Mignon du Preez to take the responsibility of their batting department in the company of skipper Sune Luus.
