Wolvaardt relieved to have Reyneke

Without the services of some experienced middle-order batters, captain Laura Wolvaardt says she is relieved to have young all-rounder Kayla Reyneke offering firepower down the order as the Proteas women prepare for the third T20 International against New Zealand in Auckland tomorrow (3.45am start).

After losing the opening match of the series by 80 runs in Mount Maunganui, the SA team bounced back on Tuesday to level the five-match series with an 18-run victory in Hamilton.

While multiple batters and bowlers stood up in the second fixture, Reyneke was named Player of the Match after bashing 28 not out off just nine balls in a quickfire innings which included three sixes and two fours.
