Match Details
South Africa Women couldn't really get going in most part of their innings, apart from one or two major partnerships. South Africa have been bundled out for 218 under 48 overs.
The proteas didn't get off to a good start as they lost two quick wickets in the powerplay. Katherine Brunt was on fire as she picked the wickets of Andrie Steyn and Laura Goodall. Laura Wolvaardt and Sune Luus did try to rebuild but the latter couldn't get going as she was undone by the flight of Sophie Ecclestone.
Tryon and Nadine de Klerk did well as the duo stitched together a record sixth-wicket partnership of 97 against England. But once the well-set Tryon departed, it was a collapse. Tryon was short of her hundred by just 12 runs and then the tail didn't have any answers for the accurate and sharp bowling from the hosts.
From 205-5 to 218 all-out, the collapse happened!! From the bowling point of view, Sciver was most successful with her figures of 9.4-0-59-4. Brunt scalped three wickets while Ecclestone and Dean pouched a wicket each.
