    Women's World Cup: Mlaba Grabs Four As South Africa Bundle Out New Zealand For 231

    By IANS News October 06, 2025 • 18:50 PM View: 555
    World Cup: Left-arm spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba starred with a four-wicket haul as South Africa bowled out New Zealand for 231, despite a fighting 85 from Sophie Devine, in their Women’s World Cup clash at the Holkar Stadium on Monday.

    Opting to bat first, Kiwis had a worst possible start as they lost veteran opener Suzie Bates on a duck, that too on the first ball of the match in her 350th international game for New Zealand. She was trapped in front of the wickets by Proteas pacer Marizanne Kapp to put White Ferns under pressure. It was Bates' second consecutive duck in the tournament after failing to score against Australia at the same venue.

    However, Georgia Plimmer and Amelia Kerr staged a comeback for their side with a 44-run crucial partnership for the second wicket. After the early setback, the duo took a cautious approach and dragged the side to 38/1 after the end of the powerplay.
