For the South Africans, Nadine de Klerk (3\/19) took three wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>As rain played spoilsport, the game was shortened to 13 overs but South Africa could not get to their revised target of 98 as they managed 92\/5 with wickets falling at regular intervals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Laura Wolvaardt remained not out on 41 and looked set for a fight but others did not respond in the same manner except Mignon du Preez (21) to some extent. For the Aussies, Megan Schutt returned best figures of 2\/17 in three overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Brief Scores: Australia 134\/5 in 20 overs (Meg Lanning 49 not out; Nadine de Klerk 3\/19); South Africa 92\/5 in 13 overs (Laura Wolvaardt 41 not out; Megan Schutt 2\/17)<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
