While captain Laura Wolvaardt contributed significantly to the chase, making an undefeated fifty as South Africa completed overhauling of this target with six balls left plus 59 runs.
The Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits, who made a valuable 41 runs together, began the victory for South Africa. With the win, South Africa became victorious in an ODI match with Australia and this was something that had never happened before as it took place for 24 times only.
Every touched on her delight amplifying the magnitude of victory as South Africa points to T20 world cup which is in October and hinging it around team’s state of mind while at the same time projecting a confident forward outlook.
On the other hand, despite being confident with a previous success on their side Australia had difficulties finding rhythm in this batting innings. While batting, pace bowler Masabata Klaas and a spin duo of Nonkululeko Mlaba along with Chloe Tryon weighed down on South Africa through suffocating pressure which led to restrict the scoring opportunities for Australia as Miranda Parmar said.
The win also represents the development of South Africa in women’s cricket and provides an auspicious start for a series between two formidable legacy teams. Regarding the Australians looking back on their performance, revisions may need to be made characteristically with regard of batting strategy as well trying to overcome South Africa’s intimidating challenge in forthcoming meetings.
