RSA(W) vs WI(W): South Africa starts their T20 World Cup 2024 journey with a comfortable 10 wicket victory over West Indies.
After winning the toss, South Africa’s skipper Laura Wolvaardt chose to bowl first and Marizanne Kapp was quick to get the wicket of West Indies’ skipper Hayley Matthews in the second over of her spell. Soon, Qiana Joseph also got out. Stafanie Taylor held her end and kept rotating the strikes, but batters didn’t contribute much from the other end as West Indies kept losing wickets. Stafanie Taylor remained not out on the score of 44 runs as West Indies posted 118 on the board at the end of 20 overs.
Chasing 119 runs, South Africa started with the opening pair of skipper Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits, and the pair dominated the West Indies bowling attack. Laura Wolvaardt was dropped on the score of 33, and from there, she and Tazmin Brits didn’t give them another chance as the West Indies side looked clueless. Both batters scored their fifties and reached the target in 17.5 overs.

T20 Women’s World Cup 2024, Match 3rd: RSA(W) vs WI(W)| Captains’ Corner
On the conditions) Not that easy. One of the harder knocks I have had physically, especially after fielding first. (On if she has to keep a better eye on the over-rate) Definitely. Not ideal. Had to slip in quite a bit of spin after the first half. (On the team’s performance) It was pretty excellent overall. The way Kappie started and then to have Mlaba take four wickets, it is amazing. Then to win with ten wickets in the shed, that is amazing as well.
Laura Wolvaardt(South Africa’s Captain) said post-match
It was a very disappointing game and not the way we wanted to start. We have to pick ourselves up quickly. We have a game in two days’ time and we have to bounce back quickly. (On their batting) We were able to build some partnerships in between but probably not able to strike the way we wanted to. (On if the players who picked up injuries will be fit for their next game) Hopefully. She (James) got hit on the face and hopefully that is just a cut (and she can feature on Sunday)
