Half-centuries from Chloe Tryon and Marizanne Kapp guided South Africa to a thrilling three-wicket victory over Bangladesh at the Women’s Cricket World Cup yesterday.
In pursuit of 233, the Proteas were reduced to 78 for five, but Tryon (62) and Kapp (56) swung momentum back in their team’s favour. Nadine de Klerk was on hand to hit the winning runs with just three balls remaining.
The Tigresses had earlier posted 232 for six thanks to the fastest half-century of the tournament from 18-year-old Shorna Akter off just 34 balls. — Allied Media
