The journey so far
The first clash between the two ended in a humiliating loss for the Proteas women.
The three lionesses managed a comprehensive win, with six wickets and five overs to spare. The win came from the powerful hands of Sophia Dunkley and her maiden fifty. They showed mega aggression in both the departments. Bowler Katherine Brunt led the pace attack with a phenomenal four-fer, amassing figures of 4/15.
When it comes to the Proteas Women, Ayabonga Khaka displayed a memorable performance with a 3/13 in four overs. But the batting lineup failed to put up a worthwhile target.
