Women’s ODI World Cup | Mlaba, Brits and Luus star as South Africa outplays New Zealand

Sports

South Africa showed that the shellacking at the hands of England was an exception, not the norm, with a dominant six-wicket win against New Zealand in a Women’s World Cup league fixture at the Holkar Stadium here on Monday.

Tazmin Brits (101, 89b, 15x4, 1x6) and Sune Luus (83 n.o., 114b, 10x4, 1x6) carried on unfettered after losing skipper Laura Wolvaardt early in the 232-run chase. After her trademark early shakiness, the only hint of nerves Brits showed was as she neared the ton, pulling out a new ‘archer’ celebration when the job was done.
