While the Reds are faltering in their quest to retain the trophy, the new blood instilled in the City team signals a revitalisation for managerial mastermind Guardiola, who is leading City's charge with a move to second in the table, four points adrift of leaders Arsenal.

Southampton sacked manager Will Still on Sunday after just 16 games in charge with the Saints languishing just outside the Championship relegation zone.

The hosts batted first and posted a competitive 298-7 - opener Shafali Verma led the charge with a dynamic 87 from 78 balls, backed up by Deepti Sharma's 58, which set the Proteas their record one-day international run-chase.

Hosts India soon took charge with the left-handed Mandhana and Verma hitting regular boundaries to take the attack to the opposition bowlers.

The highly-rated Rohl, who has now taken over at Rangers, departed in July and his assistant Henrik Pedersen took charge with the club unable to add to their small playing squad because of the financial issues.
