Women’s T20 WC: All-round South Africa Get Huge NRR Boost With 80-run Win Over Scotland
T20 World Cup: South Africa showed their all-round prowess to get a huge net run rate boost after thrashing Scotland by 80 runs to jump to the top of Group B in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 at the Dubai International Stadium here on Wednesday.
Tazmin Brits (43), Player of the Match Marizanne Kapp (43) and captain Laura Wolvaardt (40) led the way with the bat as South Africa posted 166/5, the highest score of the competition so far. Left-arm spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba took three wickets as Scotland were dismissed for 86, their third straight defeat which now confirms their exit from the competition.
Electing to bat first, Laura survived on two when she miscued a Kathryn Bryce full toss to Katherine Fraser, who put down an easy chance at mid-off. She and Tazmin shared a dominating 64-run opening stand before Katherine made amends for her dropped catch by having Laura caught by Olivia Bell midway through the eighth over.
