BLOEMFONTEIN: Suné Luus and Sinalo Jafta delivered standout performances as the Proteas Women secured a 37-run victory over Pakistan in the opening ICC Women’s Championship (IWC) One-Day International (ODI) in Bloemfontein on Sunday. Luus anchored the innings with an unbeaten 93 off 76 balls (8 fours, 1 six), while Jafta produced a scintillating knock of 57* off 38 deliveries (8 fours) to register her maiden international half-century. Their efforts guided the hosts to 260/6 in their reduced 41-over innings. Pakistan fell short in their chase, finishing on 223 all out in 38.5 overs despite fighting half-centuries from Ayesha Zafar (81 off 94 balls; 7 fours) and Sidra Amin (68 off 69 balls; 9 fours). Tumi Sekhukhune (3/50) and Luus (2/31) led the Proteas Women’s bowling attack. Following a delayed start due to rain, the Proteas Women lost the toss and were asked to bat first. Despite losing an early wicket, with Tazmin Brits (10) caught off the bowling of Diana Baig (1/48), Laura Wolvaardt (43) was joined by Lara Goodall (13) as the hosts reached 52/1 at the end of 10 overs Shortly before the pair brought up their 50-run partnership, Goodall was dismissed by Sadia Iqbal (1/51), with South Africa progressing to 70/2 at the drinks break. After the interval, Pakistan claimed another crucial wicket, removing the in-form Wolvaardt seven runs short of her half-century. Following the skipper’s departure, Sune Luus and Annerie Dercksen (31) helped the home side regain momentum, combining for a half-century stand for the fourth wicket as South Africa reached 143/3 at the halfway stage of the innings. With South Africa bringing up 150 on the scoreboard, Luus celebrated her 19th ODI fifty. However, the impressive 80-run partnership was brought to an end when Dercksen was dismissed by Aroob Shah (1/39). The Proteas then lost another wicket in the following over, with Chloé Tryon (0) bowled by Nashra Sandhu (2/45) for her second scalp. Jafta’s aggressive strokeplay injected fresh impetus into the innings, pushing the Proteas to 203/6 after 35 overs. The wicketkeeper-batter continued to find the boundary with ease before raising her bat for a maiden international half-century in her 50th ODI. Jafta and Luus combined for a crucial 90-run partnership, guiding the hosts to a commanding 260/6. With the ball, the Proteas Women made an immediate impact, claiming two early wickets. Ayanda Hlubi (1/22) and Nadine de Klerk (2/36) dismissed Sadaf Shamas (0) and Muneeba Ali (2), reducing the visitors to 5/2 in the fourth over. Pakistan responded through Amin and Zafar, who steadied the innings with a 50-run partnership for the third wicket to reach 80/2 after 14 overs. The pair continued to build, bringing up a 100-run stand, with Amin registering her 14th career half-century before Luus made the breakthrough. Zafar soon followed with a half-century of her own, helping Pakistan progress to 159/3 after 28 overs alongside Natalia Pervaiz (7), who was later dismissed by Sekhukhune. South Africa tightened their grip on the contest as Luus accounted for Fatima Sana (5), leaving Pakistan on 175/5. De Klerk then claimed the key wicket of Zafar, further denting the visitors’ hopes. Aliya Riaz (32) and Shah (8) briefly resisted, pushing Pakistan past the 200-run mark before a sharp run-out by Sekhukhune and de Klerk ended Shah’s stay. South Africa wrapped up the contest with two quick wickets from Sekhukhune, who removed Baig (0) and Sandhu (4) to seal an emphatic victory with 13 balls remaining. The second IWC ODI will take place on Wednesday, 25 February at SuperSport Park in Centurion, starting at 14:00.

DURBAN: The DP World Lions Ladies will head to Hollywoodbets Kingsmead Stadium this weekend with the chance to cap another impressive domestic campaign when they face WSB Western Province Women in the Hollywoodbets Pro Series finals. The two sides will contest the Hollywoodbets Pro20 final at 18h00 on Friday before meeting again in the Hollywoodbets Pro50 final at 10h00 on Sunday, bringing together two of the most consistent teams across both competitions this season. Lions captain Kgomotso Rapoo says that it’s an unprecedented weekend of action coming up for both them and Western Province. “It’s really exciting to be able to contest both finals this weekend,” Rapoo said. “It’s never happened in our women’s space before and it’s a huge honour to get this far. “We’ve worked really hard behind the scenes, and the girls are in a good space going into the weekend.” Not only is it a big weekend from a cricket perspective for the Lions ladies, but there will be a handful that will be experiencing a night game for the first time. “A few of the girls haven’t played under lights before so that is a really exciting experience to look forward to. We’ve prepped well under the lights in Johannesburg this week and we can’t wait to get going.” The Lions have enjoyed another strong campaign across the Pro Series, showing balance with both bat and ball as they pushed their way into both finals. Their performances in the 50-over competition were particularly impressive, where they remained among the leading sides on the standings through the season and produced a number of commanding victories along the way. One of their most notable performances came in Durban earlier in the competition when the Lions defeated the Hollywoodbets Dolphins by 102 runs, underlining the strength of their batting line-up and their ability to defend totals under pressure. The Johannesburg-based side have consistent as a team across both competitions with no stand-outs from a batting perspective. Jenna Evans has led the way with the bat scoring 241 runs in the Pro 50 while Sunette Viljoen-Louw has been their best batter in the Pro20 with two half centuries. Relebohile Mkhize has been the Lions’ best bowler in the Pro20 competition with ten wickets at an economy rate of just over four runs to the over. The Pro20 skipper, Raisibe Ntozakhe has also picked up ten wickets in the 20 over competition. Ntozakhe has been the best Lions bowler in the Pro50 with ten wickets in that competition as well while Mkhize is one behind her with nine wickets. The Lions’ bowling unit has consistently backed up the batting efforts, regularly restricting opponents and maintaining pressure through disciplined spells across both formats. Their ability to take wickets in the middle overs has been particularly important in tight matches throughout the campaign. That consistency has helped the Lions position themselves for another shot at silverware. Having lifted the inaugural Hollywoodbets Pro50 title last season, the Johannesburg outfit will be eager to add further trophies when the finals take place in Durban. Standing in their way will be a confident Western Province side, setting up what promises to be a tightly contested end to the domestic season. With both teams showing strong form throughout the campaign, the stage is set for a compelling Pro Series finals weekend at Hollywoodbets Kingsmead.
