Bangladesh Women v South Africa Women – South Africa Women tour of Bangladesh (2nd T20I) – Match Update
After losing the first T20I of the ongoing 3-match series by 7 wickets, the South Africa Women bounced back to level the series in their second T20I with a last-ball victory against the Bangladesh Women, at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur today
on September 12.
The South Africa Women won the toss and elected to field first, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rumana-Ahmed-c87106 fell prey
to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Susanna-Maria-Benade-c92039 in the very first over.
Farzana Haque was next up to bat, but she remained similarly unremarkable, contributing just 5 runs after which she was caught and bowled by Shabnim http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sunette-Loubser-c91828 in the 7th
over.
By this point, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 Women were at 56 for 3, and skipper Salma Khatun attempted to revive the innings with a lone 42, unsupported by any of the other batters. Her 28-run partnership with Mondal was followed up by a 26-run 4th-wicket stand
with Shukhtara Rahman (8), but http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shukhtara-c90152 Rahman and Ritu Moni (5) back to the pavilion by the 17th over.
By the time http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tithy-Rani-Sarkar-c94128 (7*) and Jahanara Alam (6*) enabled the team to post a total of 105 by the end
of 20 overs.
The Bangladesh Women put in a valiant effort to defend their total, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 Women needed just one solid partnership to bring the match to a nail-biting finish on the final delivery.
The South Africa Women began their innings in faltering fashion, with openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Trisha-Chetty-c94414 (9) sent packing without having made any substantial contributions.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Alison-Lucille-Hodgkinson-c43649 (37) and Player of the Match Benade (53*) remained the mainstay of their team’s innings, joining forces for a 73-run stand, which came to an end with the dismissal of Hodgkinson at the hands of Khadija Tul Kubra in the 18th over.
Benade, however, remained firm, and with the help of Kapp (3*), guided her side to a final-ball victory, reaching 106 with 6 wickets and 0 deliveries remaining.
