In a nail-biting encounter at the ICC Women’s World Cup in Visakhapatnam, South Africa emerged victorious by three wickets against Bangladesh, showcasing resilience and determination. Chasing a target of 233, the Proteas faced early adversity, collapsing to 78-5. However, half-centuries from Chloe Tryon (62 off 69) and Marizanne Kapp (56 off 71) steadied the ship. Nadine de Klerk, fresh from her heroics against India, played a pivotal role, remaining unbeaten on 37 off 29 balls, including a match-winning six with three balls to spare. Bangladesh, despite a competitive total bolstered by Shorna Akter’s rapid 51 off 34 balls, were left to rue missed opportunities, including crucial dropped catches. South Africa’s third consecutive win highlights their fighting spirit, while Bangladesh must regroup from this heart-wrenching defeat.
