ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, Post-Match Report: South Africa Eliminates Bangladesh As Group B’s Race For Semi-Finals Heats Up!

South Africa secured an easy victory over Bangladesh in Dubai, eliminating the Tigresses from qualification in Group B of the tournament.

South Africa women vs Bangladesh women: At 107, the target proved too meager for South Africa, which lost in-form skipper Wolvaardt early. The South African team dropped at least four catches and missed several run-out opportunities; the team still succeeded in emerging victorious and rising to the top of the table. The groundwork for their victory was laid in the powerplay, which saw them concede just 21 runs. They did not take any wickets, but they still effectively put a leash on the run flow all through the middle overs.

Player Of The Match: Tazmin Brits Reflects

“The powerplay wasn’t so bad, and I tried establishing a partnership with Bosch, who relieved the pressure with some boundaries. I am always looking to get better, and it was not an easy wicket, but overall, I am proud of my performance. To play for your country on this stage is an honor, and hopefully, we make it to the semi-finals.”

Race To The Semi-Final Heats Up!

The contest hots up with three teams already knocked out as New Zealand and South Africa do the right thing to keep themselves in the race for semi-final berths. Tomorrow promises to be a very exciting double-header in Sharjah.

First, it is the contest between England and Scotland. England would look to win its third match on the trot and improve the net run rate. Then comes the highly-anticipated India-Australia battle. A win against Australia will take India straight to the semi-final as the first team.

If India wins against them, it will leave New Zealand on tenterhooks, especially after Alyssa Healy’s injury and Tayla Vlaeminck’s shoulder dislocation in their game against Pakistan. It does raise a question about whether Australia will be able to cope without their big guns as they head to the test against India.

Brief Score: Bangladesh 106/3 in 20 overs (Shobhana Mostary 38; Marizanne Kapp 1-10, lost to South Africa 107/3 in 17.2 overs (Tazmin Brits 42) by seven wickets.
