South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt gave credit to her players for hanging in there as Bangladesh applied pressure and gave credit to Marizanne Kapp, Chloe Tryon and Nadine de Klerk for hauling the team to victory in a key Women’s World Cup encounter in Visakhapatnam on Monday.
Kapp struck a patient 56 and shared a crucial partnership with Tryon (62) while de Klerk slammed a four and six in three balls to seal victory with three balls remaining.
South Africa reached 235-7 in 49.3 overs chasing Bangladesh’s 232-6 built on a patient half-century by Sharmin Akhter (50 off 77) and the fastest ODI fifty ever by a Bangladesh player by Shorna Akter (51 off 35).
“Nerves are shot, that was a lot closer than we wanted, but glad we got the points. Kappy and Chloe were amazing. Not the start we wanted. [We] tried to be watchful, build partnerships, but we lost wickets. At least we’re getting over the line. There have been times we’ve lost these games, and our middle order scoring runs is good to know,” said Wolvaardt in the post-match presentation.
