BRITS, MLABA POWER PROTEAS TO VICTORY

South Africa outclass New Zealand by six wickets in ODI World Cup

- 

Opener Tazmin Brits struck a sparkling century, her fourth in the last five matches, to complement Nonkululeko Mlaba’s four-wicket burst as South Africa outclassed reigning T201 champions New Zealand by six wickets in the Women’s ODI World Cup on Monday.

Having been shot out for a mere 69 in their tournament opener against England, South Africa produced a clinical all-round performance, with their bowling and fielding unit setting it up before the top order completed the 232-run chase in 40.5 overs.
