Proteas Women Seal T20I Series Over Pakistan With Rain-Reduced Win in Benoni

A rain-shortened contest in Benoni was decided by Ayabonga Khaka's 3 for 10, capped by a composed 40 not out from Laura Wolvaardt.

Overview

  • South Africa claimed a six-wicket victory to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match T20I series.
  • After a lengthy weather delay, Pakistan were limited to 100 for 9 in 14 overs and the hosts chased 101 with four balls to spare.
  • Khaka led the attack with 3 for 10 in two overs as Masabata Klaas took 2 for 14 and Marizanne Kapp struck early.
  • Wolvaardt anchored the chase with 40 off 29, supported by Tazmin Brits' 29 and late contributions from Kapp and Nadine de Klerk.
  • The teams meet again Monday for the final T20I, with reports conflicting on the venue, following an opener decided by debutant Kayla Reyneke's last-ball heroics and subsequent calls for sharper execution.
