The matter of the South African women’s team beating Thailand in Canberra at the T20 Women’s World Cup was always going to be a case of how many and how they’ve gone about the task.
In piling up 195/3 on the back of Lizelle Lee’s ton‚ Thailand weren’t going to have enough in the batting tank to mount a credible chase.
South Africa bowled Thailand for 82 with five balls remaining. Shabnim Ismail and Sune Luus were the chief wicke-takers while the latter also contributed a telling 41-ball 61 from number three. “Things haven’t gone my way since the New Zealand tour. It was good to have a few runs under my belt and getting the confidence back. If it’s your day‚ it’s your day. You have to cash in‚” Lee said.
Pakistan will be a stronger and smarter side on Sunday in Sydney where missed catches could be more costly.
