Women's World Cup: Skipper Wolvaardt ‘glad’ After Thrilling Win Over Bangladesh
The South Africa: South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt gave credit to her players for hanging in there as Bangladesh applied pressure and gave credit to Marizanne Kapp, Chloe Tryon and Nadine de Klerk for hauling the team to victory in a key Women's World Cup encounter in Visakhapatnam on Monday.
Kapp struck a patient 56 and shared a crucial partnership with Tryon (62) while de Klerk slammed a four and six in three balls to seal victory with three balls remaining.
South Africa reached 235/7 in 49.3 overs chasing Bangladesh's 232/6 built on a patient half-century by Sharmin Akhter (50 off 77) and the fastest ODI fifty ever by a Bangladesh player by Shorna Akter (51 off 35). The Bangladesh bowlers then applied tremendous pressure and reduced South Africa to 78/5 before Kapp, Tryon and de Klerk saw them home.
