West Indies’ batting struggles continued as they lost by 44 runs to South Africa in the second match of the women’s T20I tri-series in East London. Following Marizanne Kapp’s fifty, which powered South Africa to 141, Masabata Klaas’ four-wicket haul helped them recover from their opening game loss to India. A massive, dominant partnership, followed by a disciplined bowling performance, aided India’s second win in the women’s T20 tri-series. Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur shared an unbroken 115 for the third wicket, both hitting half-centuries, to help India reach 167 for 2.
