Dubai: Half centuries from Chloe Tryon and Marizanne Kapp guided South Africa to a thrilling three-wicket victory over Bangladesh at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025.
In pursuit of 233, the Proteas were reduced to 78 for five, but Tryon (62) and Kapp (56) fought back to swing momentum back in their team’s favour.
Bangladesh pushed hard throughout the contest, but Nadine de Klerk was on hand to hit the winning runs – a huge six over deep square leg – with just three balls remaining.
The Tigresses had earlier posted 232 for six thanks to the fastest half-century of the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 from 18-year-old Shorna Akter off just 34 balls. (ICC)
