In Women Cricket, chasing a victory target of 267, South Africa were 29 without loss in 5 overs against India in the 4th ODI at Lucknow when reports last came in. An unbeaten 104 by Punam Raut and her century partnership with skipper Mithali Raj 45 helped hosts to score 266 for four in the stipulated 50 overs. Harmanpreet Kaur scored a blistering 34-ball 54 and Priya Punia made 32. Earlier, South Africa won the toss and chose to field.
 
South Africa leads the five match -series 2-1. India Women will be hoping to win and level the five-match series. Blown away in the series-opener, India had bounced back in style in the second ODI. However, Mithali Raj's side did not have luck on their side as they lost the rain affected third game via Duckworth Lewis system by the marging of just six runs despite posting a competitive 248 for five.
