SOUTH Africa's Sun 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.
(Cricket South Africa)
Luus delivered a timely reminder of her all-round value as the Proteas Women opened their ODI series with a 37-run win over Pakistan in Bloemfontein on Sunday - but it is her role with the ball she is eager to grow once more.Luus struck an unbeaten 93 to anchor South Africa’s total of 260, before claiming two crucial wickets to halt Pakistan’s momentum during a threatening middle-overs partnership between Sidra Amin and Ayesha Zafar. Amin top-edged a Luus delivery and Ayanda Hlubi took a stunning diving catch behind the wicket to dismiss her.
“Tt was crucial for us to get that wicket,” Luus said, after the match.
