Women's World Cup: Nadine De Klerk's Blazing 84 Helps South Africa Beat India
De Klerk hammered 16 runs from three balls in the 47th over, and with that Proteas needed 23 from 18 balls. A four by de Klerk off Deepti Sharma in the 48th over made it 12 from 12. The all-rounder sealed victory with two sixes in three balls off Amanjot Kaur as South Africa, bowled out for 69 by England in their opening match, came back roaring to secure their second win on the trot and moved to four points. They reached 252/7 in 48.5 overs to secure victory and move into the top four in the standings. This was India's first defeat in three matches, and they too remain in the top four.
South Africa were staring defeat at 142/6, but Chloe Tryon (49) and Nadine de Klerk (84 off 54 balls) tore the Indian attack apart, raising a quick half-century partnership to take their team over the finishing line for a memorable win. De Klerk hammered five sixes in another brilliant display of power-hitting, scoring the highest score by a No.8 batter in ODIs to secure victory for South Africa.
