South Africa Women will be taking on New Zealand Women in the seventh match of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023. Boland Park in Paarl will be hosting this Group A encounter on Monday, February 13.
South Africa Women didn’t have the best of starts to their home T20 World Cup. They faced Sri Lanka Women in their opening game and suffered a loss. It was a thriller of a contest and the hosts finished on the losing side.
Bowling first, the South Africa Women did a fine job of restricting the Lankan side to 129/4. The batters then faltered in the chase as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals and finished their innings on 126/9 to lose the game by three runs. They will be looking to quickly turn the tables around in their upcoming fixture.
New Zealand Women, too, got off to a losing start to the competition. They faced Australia Women in their first game and suffered a heavy loss in the Trans-Tasman encounter.
Lea Tahuhu and Amelia Kerr picked up three wickets each but failed to keep a check on the scoring rate as Australia Women posted 173 on the board. Only three batters managed to get to double digits as the Kiwis were bundled out for 76 to lose the game by 97 runs. They will have to bounce back in their next clash.
