Women’s T20 WC: South Africa Edge Bangladesh In Tense Chase But SF Fate Rests On Australia
T20 World Cup: South Africa kept their ICC Women's T20 World Cup semi-final hopes alive with a hard-fought four-wicket victory over Bangladesh on Sunday at the Lord’s Cricket Ground, successfully chasing 118 in a contest that remained alive until the final over.
After restricting Bangladesh to 117/5 through a disciplined bowling effort in the first innings, the Proteas overcame a spirited fightback led by Bangladesh's bowlers to seal victory, although their progression now depends on Australia defeating India later in the day.
The modest target appeared straightforward on paper, but Bangladesh ensured South Africa had to earn every run. Marufa Akter produced a dream start by removing captain Laura Wolvaardt with the very first delivery of the chase, sending the stumps cartwheeling with a magnificent inswinger that immediately shifted the pressure onto the Proteas.
