Luus eyes frontline spinner role

SOUTH Africa's Sune Luus scored 93 runs and took two wickets in the Proteas Women's 37-run victory over Pakistan in the first ODI in Bloemfontein on Sunday.

Amin top-edged a Luus delivery and Ayanda Hlubi took a stunning diving catch behind the wicket to dismiss her.

“It was crucial for us to get that wicket,” Luus said, after the match.

“They were building a big partnership and both batters were looking to score big hundreds. Hlubi took a great catch and I think that just shifted the momentum.”
