South Africa eased to an eight-wicket win in the deciding T20 international against Ireland despite a sterling half-century stand between Gaby Lewis and Shauna Kavanagh, sealing a 2-1 victory in the HBV Studios International Women's Cricket Series at Pembroke Cricket Club.
Left-arm spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba was one of the Proteas women bowling stars as they restricted Ireland to 104 all-out in 18.3 overs during the third and final T20 international on Wednesday.
Proteas opener Lara Goodall says they wanted to prove a point as they cruised to victory in the second T20 against Ireland in Dublin on Monday.
The Proteas women are taking their first steps of life without Mignon du Preez, the great former captain who retired from ODI and Test formats after the Women's World Cup in New Zealand this year.
Women's T20 Challenge and they can "walk into the South African side any day", believes Proteas captain Sune Luus. The 26-year-old, who won the the FairBreak Invitational tournament in Dubai and the Women's T20 Challenge last month with the Tornadoes and Supernovas respectively, said it was "a massive opportunity and an awesome learning curve." "The IPL was a bit of a better standard. With FairBreak there are a lot of girls from the Associates, some girls who used spikes for the first time, who played on a turf wicket for the first time so it was a whole different experience," Luus was quoted as saying by 'ESPNcricinfo'.
Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur and Deepti Sharma were on Monday named captains of the three teams for the Women's T20 Challenge to be played in Pune from May 23. The BCCI announced 16-member squads for each of three teams -- Harmanpreet-led Supernovas, Mandhana-led Trailblazers and Deepti-led Velocity. Trailblazers had won the previous edition held in 2020.
While another semi-final loss for South Africa could be considered a failed World Cup attempt, the Proteas women inspired the nation with a stellar performance at the Women's Cricket World Cup in New Zealand.
Danni Wyatt struck a maiden World Cup century as England powered into the final with a dominant 137-run victory over South Africa in Christchurch.
