The Momentum Proteas secured their first series win in the Caribbean when they chased down 157 with 13.2 overs to spare to complete an 8-wickets win over the West Indies Women to take an unassailable 3-0 lead and win the five match Women’s One-Day International series with a brilliant performance on Monday at St Johns in Antigua.
Winning the toss and electing to field, the opening bowling duo of Mazrinne Kapp and Shabnim Ismail applied the necessary compression and were rewarded with a wicket each when they had openers, Hayley Matthews and Chedean Nation back in the dugout inside five overs.
Ismail struck early in her spell starting with Matthews who was brilliantly caught and bowled by the SA starlet in the third over. Kapp joined in on the action as she continued her impressive streak on this tour with the wicket of Chedean Nation who was caught at slip by Dane van Niekerk. The two early scalps interrupted the hosts’ innings temporarily as they were winding on nine for two inside the powerplay.
The bowling unit of Ayabonga Khaka and Sune Luus brilliantly set up the Proteas for a relatively easy chase which was pioneered by the opening pair of Lizelle Lee 78 and Laura Wolvaardt 52 who were in their usual destructive mode in the run chase at the Coolidge Cricket Ground.
