WV Raman and Pommie Mbangwa | The temperature is 37 degrees at the moment. Dimensions - 57 and 63 square, 73 metres straight down the ground which looks dry despite the grasses being all green. The batters should play wiꦚth the turn and use their bottom hand to score well. It is also important for the bowlers to work around and push the fielders in the deep, as the surface is🎀 low-bounced, so playing across the line would be risky. 

And the thrill begins with ಞa dropped catch! Wol🍌vaardt and Tazmin Brits are at the crease.

Kathryn Bryce, bowling ri🃏ght-arm medium pace,꧟ is now coming into the attack after Rachel Slater opened the bowling.

SAW: 8-0(1.3)

It seems the o💖pening pair of Wolva✅ardt and Tazmin is back to their resilient style of play, like they did in the opening match.

Tazmin with 20 runs off 16 balls, and captain Laura Wolvaardt with 37 runs off just 2🔥0 balls, have taken South 𒐪Africa Women to 60 runs in only 6 overs!

That was one of the best powerplay of the sea🍸son so far.

RSA-W: 61-0(6.3)

And here comes the hope!ꦚ Katherine Fraser makes a breakthrough by dismissing the Proteas' strong opener. She delivers a wider, fuller length bal🍷l, and down goes captain Wolvaardt, caught by Olivia Bell. The partnership is broken.

Now, Anneke Bosch, the right-hand✃ed batter, comes to the crease.

RSA-W: 68-1(8.3)

There goes the second wicket! But with 8 overs still remaining, there’s time to🍨 inflict some damage on the Scots bowlers. Anneke Bosch, scoring 11 off 13, falls to Darcey Carter, caught by Bryce!

Now, Marizanne Kapp, the🎶 right-handed b♋atter, comes to the crease.

SA-W: 96-2(12)

The fall of Tazmin Brits may have come as a big relief to the𝓡 Scots. In the 14th over, Olivia Bell delivers a dangerous, and once again it was Bryce who did the job by catching it well (not too well but a successful one)! The Proteas opener departs after a solid 43 runs off 35 balls, including five fours and a six.

Now, Sune Luus, the right-handed batter, co♔mes to the crease to join Kapp.

RSA-W: 132-3 (16)

In the 17th over, Kathryn Bryce dismisses Marizanne Kapp, caugh𓃲t by Darcey Carter! Kapp finishes her impressive knock with 43 runs off𒅌 24 balls, including 4 fours with her team on a good innings already.

The South African women set a new team total this season, reachingꦕ 160+ runs.

Currently, Sune Luus is at the crease, and Annerie Dercksen has joined her as the South African women sit at♛ 164/5 afte♏r 19.1 overs.

RSA-W: 165-5(19.2)

The Proteas women have set the highest team total of the season, finishing their innings at 166/5 in 20 overs. Ma𝐆rizanne Kapp was the s✅tandout performer, scoring a blistering 43 off just 24 balls.

Now, Scotland fa꧃ce a daunting target of 167 runs. Will they be able to break this record? Best of luck, Scots!

Saskia Horley an❀d Sarah Bryce are at the crease, with Kapಌp opening the attack.

Now, Chloe Tryon, bowling left-arm orthodox, steps in to make her mark.

SCO-W: 14-0(2.4)

What happened to the Scottish batters? While the Proteas built ♎their innings to 50 runs without losing a wicket during the powerplay, Scotland find themselves at just 23, having lost tw𝔉o wickets in 5 overs.

Chloe Tryon bowls out Sara👍h Bryce with a soft dismissal for 5 runs off 8 balls. Shortly after, Ayabonga Khaka takes down Saskia Horley with a length delivery outside off.

Now, the captain remains at the crease, joined by right-handed batter Ailsa Lister.

SCO-W: 25-2(5)

A Collapse! Scotland's women are facing a downfall at the hands of the South African bowlers. What a brilliꦬant bowling display it has been!

Chloe Tryon strikes again, claiming her second wicket by dismissing Sarah Bryce in a 🅘similar manner to her sisteཧr. Bryce managed 7 runs off 7 balls, hitting 1 four.

Next up, Mlaba takes down Ailsa Lister, bowled out! Lister’s stumps are shattered after she scored 12𝔍 runs off 13 balls, including 2 fours.

Then, de Klerk joins the action, sending Priyanaz back to the pavilion ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚwith a length delivery on middle with 4 runs off 5 balls, with 1 four.

SCO-W: 45-5(8)

A margin as significant as 80 runs! In fact, some innin🔜gs have been just 80 runs! But today this is the winning run margin of South African women who 🔥have thoroughly dismantled the Scottish team.

Marizanne Kapp has been named the Player of the Match for her stunning knock of 43 runs off 24 balls.

In the post match interview she said:

Little bit nervous at the start of the match. Wicket was lot slower today, played a bit slower. The heat has been really tough, luckily the two day games are out of the way. Today was the slowest it has been. We have been working on a few options against spin and it came off. It's more a confidence thing for me. Focussing more onꦑ the basics, backing my strengths. Good total, would have liked it if we had pushed to 180-190 considering where we were but good learnings and we now face Bangladesh on this.

Laura Wolvaardt | South African skipper: Can't ask for more, great first half and followed it up with some excellent bowling as well. We did speak about it (NRR) coming into this game, we just felt the best chance to win the game was put a lot of runs on the board. We wanted to be ruthless with the ball and show what we are about. Every game it has been different, nice to have so many bowling options and so many all-rounders. Massive game for us (talking about their next game against Bangladesh), we need a win after losing thꦉe last game and hopefully this game will give us the confidence to put up a good show.

Kathryn Bryce | Scotland skipper: Just the little moments, few chances and it proved costly at the end and lost a few wickets early and we were always behind the game. When you are in that sort of pressure, tough to execute. Great to share the field and knowledge with them (Sout⭕h Africa). It is always going to be tough (facing England), back there in Sharjah it will be different conditions, we will try and see what we can l👍earn from the games and all the practice and see where we end up.

It was a perfect day for the South African women's cricket team, showcasing a strong performance with both bat and ball. They crushed the Scotland women by a massive 80 runs in their Women's T20 World Cup 2024 Group B match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday. Read the full match report here.
