In the ICC Women\u2019s World Cup 2025<\/strong><\/a> on October 9, the India Women<\/strong> hosted South Africa Women<\/strong> in an intense 10th match at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. Both teams showed competitive spirit as South Africa chased India\u2019s challenging total of 251 runs. The contest swung on key moments, among which Deepti Sharma<\/strong>\u2019s sensational caught-and-bowled dismissal of Anneke Bosch<\/strong> stood out, profoundly impacting the flow of the game.<\/p>\n At a critical juncture in the South African innings with the score at 58 for 4 in 14.1 overs, Deepti bowled a full length delivery just outside off stump to Bosch. Bosch attempted an ambitious lofted shot without conviction\u2014she neither got fully under the ball nor tried to keep it grounded. The ball came faintly back towards Deepti , who positioned perfectly and snatched the catch with both hands despite a slight tumble. The catch, albeit a bit bobbled, was securely held, dramatically breaking South Africa\u2019s momentum and bolstering India\u2019s grip on the match. Bosch\u2019s dismissal for 1 run off 2 balls was a significant blow to South Africa\u2019s lower order.<\/p>\n Another one bites the dust! \ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n Deepti Sharma with the breakthrough, South Africa are 4 down.<\/p>\n Catch the LIVE action \u27a1 https:\/\/t.co\/qUAtuPmsC2<\/a>#CWC25<\/a> \ud83d\udc49 #INDvSA<\/a> | LIVE NOW on Star Sports & JioHotstar! pic.twitter.com\/VYvsI0yR1V<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) October 9, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Also\u00a0WATCH: Kranti Goud pulls off a screamer to remove Tazmin Brits in IND-W vs SA-W match<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n India\u2019s bowling unit exerted relentless pressure on the South African batters throughout their innings. Early breakthroughs by Kranti Gaud<\/strong> and Amanjot Kaur<\/strong> had South Africa reeling at 6 for 1 and then 18 for 2. Deepti\u2019s key wicket was part of a disciplined bowling performance where multiple Indian bowlers chipped in wickets while controlling runs effectively. South Africa reached 150 for 6 in 37 overs but required 102 runs from the remaining 78 balls at a steep required run-rate of 7.84, indicating India have the match in their grasp. The Indian fielders supported this effort splendidly with sharp catches and ground fielding, leaving South Africa\u2019s chase under constant threat.<\/p>\n Earlier, India had a testing innings after losing early wickets. Despite setbacks including the fall of top-order batters like Smriti Mandhana<\/strong> and Jemimah Rodrigues<\/strong>, contributions from Richa Ghosh<\/strong> (94 off 77 balls) and Sneh Rana<\/strong><\/a> steadied the innings. Their partnership lifted India beyond the 250-run mark, a total that looks imposing given the tight bowling from South Africa. The team fought back well from 102 for 6, posting a competitive score that put them in a strong position to control the match.<\/p>\n Also READ:\u00a0Women\u2019s World Cup 2025: Fans react to Richa Ghosh\u2019s controversial dismissal during IND-W vs SA-W clash<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n This article was first published at WomenCricket.com<\/a>, a Cricket Times<\/a> company.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nDeepti Sharma\u2019s brilliant grab dismisses Anneke Bosch in IND-W vs SA-W game<\/strong><\/h2>\n
