Live : CWC25 Clash Suzie Bates fell on the very first ball

So, in today’s ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 match ( new zealand women vs south africa women ) , New Zealand won the toss against South Africa and decided to bat first.

But Marizanne Kapp, with her very first ball, dismissed New Zealand’s most brilliant opener Suzie Bates. With her wonderful in-swing ball, she put even a promising opener into trouble.

Today’s match is very exciting for everyone, but for some people this match is not just a match, but history — because Suzie Bates is playing her 350th international match and 155th ODI match, and at the same time she has also become the player with the most matches played in women’s ODIs, which is a matter of pride for everyone.
