DRINKS BREAK! What a remarkable turnaround in just three balls. After the early loss of Tazmin Brits, Anneke Bosch and Laura Wolvaardt were settling nicely into a partnership, and every run Laura scored would’ve been hurting Rabeya Khan, who had dropped her earlier. But now, both set batters have followed each other back to the pavilion, and Bangladesh have their tails up. With no Sune Luus in the side for tonight’s game, Marizanne Kapp has added responsibility on her shoulders to anchor the chase. Kapp joins Annerie Dercksen out in the crease.
OUT! CAUGHT! Two wickets in 3 balls and South Africa Women are pushed on the back foot. Mst Ritu Moni serves this on a fractionally fuller length, around the off pole. Anneke Bosch tries to play the aerial inside out shot over covers, but mistimes it off the toe end. The ball pops in the air and is comfortably taken by Sobhana Mostary stationed at mid off. Anneke Bosch departs for 28 (35) and South Africa Women have slipped from 58/1 to 62/3.

OUT! LAURA WOLVAARDT IS RUN OUT! A wicket against the run of play and this will sting the Proteas a lot! Bangladesh Women are joyous and rightly so. Confusion, mix-up, and gone! A complete comedy of errors. This one’s on a length, sliding onto the pads. Laura stays deep in the crease and nudges it between deep square leg and deep mid-wicket. Hoque in the deep is slow to get to the ball and that tempts the batters for a risky second. But hesitation creeps in as both find themselves stranded mid-pitch before finally committing to the run. Meanwhile, Hoque recovers quickly and fires a sharp throw to the keeper’s end, where Joty whips off the bails in a flash. Laura Wolvaardt is well short of her crease, out by a country mile. Laura Wolvaardt is disappointed and walks back for 31 (56).
