All -rounder Deepti played brilliant innings

This success brought happiness in the South African camp, but this enthusiasm did not last long because all -rounder Deepti took command and played a brilliant innings with the help of 10 fours and two sixes off 84 balls. Deepti was the eighth Indian batsman to be dismissed, but when she was out, she had harmed with only one ball remaining. For South Africa, fast bowlers Masabata Class (2/51), Nadin D Clarke (2/54) and left -arm spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba (2/71) bowled brilliantly.
South Africa battered by bowling of Indian captain Harmanpreet
South Africa lost the wicket of opener Lara Gudol (7) in the second over itself. But Tazmin Brites (26) and Maien Smt (39) shared 63 runs for the second wicket and compensated for the loss and by the 15th over, the opposing team’s score increased to 70/2. But Indian captain Harmanpreet used his bowling well, which made it difficult for South African batsmen to put big shots and he scored most of the runs for one or two runs. South Africa’s top-order batsman Anneri Derxon (81 runs off 80 balls) tried to increase the scoring rate during a 72-run partnership for the sixth wicket with Stand-in captain Cloon (67 off 43 balls), but he could not gain momentum due to the ever-increasing score.
India started bad
Tryon and Nadin D Clarke came to bat after the light was fixed and scored 15 runs. But his effort was not enough that day. Earlier, when he was invited for the first batting, India started at the top of the table, and a wide ball of Nadin D Clarke, who was in the form, was caught out early by catching a wide ball of Nadin D Clarke. Harleen Deol was also dismissed cheaply, his ball hit his stump and India’s score was 18/2. Harmanpreet (28) played a sharp innings and caught Shangez off Durkasen’s ball. Mandhana and Rodrigues took over the innings after this, but Mandhana missed the bridge shot at Deep Midwick off the ball of Cloe Triane.
