Women's World Cup: Alana King's Magical Seven-fer Wraps South Africa For 97
ODI World Cup: Spinner Alana King's magical spell of 7-18 resulted in South Africa slumping to 97 all out in 24 overs against Australia in the Women's ODI World Cup match at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore. Alana became the first bowler in the history of the Women’s ODI World Cup to scalp seven wickets in a match.
After being invited to bat first, South Africa's openers, Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits, gave a stable start to the side as they stitched a 32-run stand before Megan Schutt dismissed the former for 31 in the seventh over. Brits (6) too departed in the last over of the Power-play as South Africa were reeling at 42/2 after 10 overs.
Things turned upside down for South Africa when Alana King bagged Sune Luus and Marizanne Kapp in her first over into the attack. The double blow triggered a batting collapse for the Proteas.
