The wait for a first-ever Cricket World Cup trophy continues for South Africa, but Proteas women's captain, Sune Luus, says she is immensely proud of what her charges achieved at their home T20 showpiece.
Smriti Mandhana's resolute hundred and a disciplined bowling effort, led by spinners Deepti Sharma and Asha Shobana, piloted India to a huge 143-run win over South Africa in the first women's ODI on Sunday. India now lead the three-match series 1-0, and the second game will be played on June 19. Mandhana's sixth ODI century (117, 127 balls , 12x4s, 1x6) formed the fulcrum of India's competitive 265 for eight on a sluggish Chinnaswamy pitch. Then the Indian bowlers worked their magic around the South African batters to bowl out the visitors for 122 as debutante leg-spinner Asha (4/21) led the show with a frugal spell and was well-supported by offie Deepti (2/10).
