Pakistan Beat South Africa By 5 Wickets In 3rd Women's T20I, Sweep Series 3-0
A blazing 54-ball 72 by South Africa Women's skipper Laura Wolvaardt went in vain as Pakistan women rode on their disciplined bowling to win the third T20I by six runs here on Monday and make a clean sweep of the three-match series. This was a historic whitewash by the Pakistan women's team as South Africa were visiting the country for the first time.
Opening the innings as South Africa responded to Pakistan's modest score of 150/5 in 20 overs, Wolvaardt struck nine fours during his breezy knock and raised 33 runs for the first wicket with Tazmin Brits (18) and 49 runs for the third wicket with Sune Luus (13). But South Africa's batters were strangled by the Pakistan bowlers and could manage only 144/5 in 20 overs.
