Women's World Cup: Nadine De Klerk Guides Proteas To Victory Over Bangladesh In Tense Finish
ODI World Cup: Marizanne Kapp (56) and Chloe Tryon (62) scored half-centuries and overshadowed similar efforts by Sharmin Akhter (50) and Shorna Akter (51*) as South Africa prevailed over Bangladesh by three wickets with three balls to spare in a well-fought encounter in the Women's ODI World Cup in Visakhapatnam on Monday.
With eight needed from the last six balls, Nadine de Klerk, dropped at long-off by Shorna in the 49th over, sealed victory for the Proteas, hammering a four and a six in three balls, repeating a similar act against India in their previous match at the same Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium.
After Bangladesh elected to bat first, Sharmin Akhter, brought in for this match, scored 50 off 77 balls (6x4) to lay the foundation, while Shorna Akter hammered an unbeaten 51 off 35 (3x4, 3x6) -- the fastest fifty by a Bangladesh woman -- to give a late push. Ritu Moni blasted 19 off eight balls at the end as Bangladesh started slow but finished in a canter to post 232/6 in 50 overs.
