Johannesburg — Ayabonga Khaka generally plays second fiddle to the dynamic new ball duo Marizanne Kapp and Shabnim Ismail, but on the eve of the World Cup, she’s underlying her value to the Proteas.
West Indies all-rounder Hayley Matthews has progressed four places to 11th position in the ICC Women's ODI Player Rankings after a fine show in the first two matches of their four match-series against South Africa. Matthews, who grabbed two wickets each in both matches, is the highest-ranked bowler from the West Indies with other off-spinner Anisa Mohammed in 25th place and Shakera Selman 26th. Seam bowler Shamilia Connell has moved up nine slots to 29th after taking three wickets in the two matches. South Africa captain Sune Luus has advanced seven places to joint-34th among bowlers and is up two places to 44th in the batting list, which is now led by Alyssa Healy with Mithali Raj in second place after Lizelle Lee dropped two places to third. Lee, ICC's Women's ODI Player of the Year in 2021, is out of the series due to COVID-19.
Proteas captain Sune Luus said it was scarcely believable that Ayabonga Khaka had to wait until her 71st ODI to collect her first five-wicket haul.
Ayabonga Khaka's superb five-wicket haul helped South Africa to a tie against the West Indies in the second ODI at the Wanderers on Monday, but Deandra Dottin's amazing hitting in the super over saw the West Indies home.
Johannesburg — Deandra Dottin returned in the super over and bashed the West Indies to victory in the second ODI against South Africa at the Wanderers on Monday.
In the face of accurate and testing bowling from the West Indies, the Proteas dragged themselves to 160 all out in 40.4 overs in the second ODI at the Wanderers on Monday.
