In case of South Africa, it was more of a lopsided affair as they were bowled out for 69 with one player reaching double digits

An improved bowling performance will be topmost on New Zealand’s agenda while South Africa will aim to work on batting form when the two teams square off in a Women’s World Cup match here today, trying to shrug off the disappointment of crushing defeats in their respective opening games.
While defending champions Australia brushed aside New Zealand by 89 runs in a Trans-Tasman rivalry, the Proteas women were crushed fair and square by England, who won by 10 wickets.
In both cases, the batting performance by the losing side was underwhelming to say the least, but New Zealand were also guilty of letting it slip after having Australia reduced to 128-5 inside the 22nd over and letting them get to 326. In case of South Africa, it was more of a lopsided affair as they were bowled out for 69 with one player reaching double digits.
