Chasing 230, South Africa reached the target in the 40th over, showing great resilience after a shaky start. With their tournament opener against England looming on Friday, here are five key takeaways from the performance.

Chloe Tryon anchors with experience

Tryon once gain underlined her importance to the Proteas team with both bat and ball. She conceded a mere 13 runs off her five overs of spin at an impressive economy rate of 2.6, taking one wicket, to keep Pakistan in check during the middle overs.

She also struck an unbeaten 45 off 39 balls with the bat to provided the finishing touches to the match. That role of enforcer and stabiliser is one Marizanne Kapp also fulfils well for South Africa, and will be critical against England, where early breakthroughs or collapses could define the match.

Middle-order depth proves crucial
