3rd T20I: Devine's Allround Effort Takes NZ To 2-1 Series Lead Over SA
Then Suzie Bates: Sophie Devine's 55 not out after her brilliant bowling effort powered New Zealand to a six-wicket win over South Africa in the third T20I here at Eden Park on Friday and took a 2-1 series lead in the five-match series with two games to go.
After opting to bat first, the Proteas women were restricted to 149/7, with Sophie Devine and Suzie Bates picking up a couple of wickets each. In response, Devine’s half-century led the chase, with support from Amelia Kerr (30) and Maddy Green (34), as the hosts chased down the target in 18.4 overs to take a 2-1 lead in the series.
Batting first, South Africa got off to a disastrous start as they were reduced to 9/2 within three overs when Rosemary Mair removed opener Tazmin Brits in the second over, and Jess Kerr joined the party in the next over to dismiss Sune Luus.
