South Africa won a fascinating match against Bangladesh to leave four teams level on points in Group 1 at the ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup at JB Marks Oval in Potchefstroom on Saturday, 21 January 2023.
Some brilliant bowling from Kayla Reyneke kept Bangladesh in check during the first innings. The 17-year-old finished with figures of 4/19 from her four overs as the Tigresses never really got going, despite each of their top five reaching at least double figures.
Set 106 to win, South Africa got off to a scratchy start, struggling against the quality of the new-ball attack and limping to 33/4 after eight overs.
Rabeya was the star with the ball for Bangladesh, taking 3/18, with Marufa Akter also chipping in with 1/16.
But a brilliant partnership worth 70 runs between Madison Landsman (37) and Karabo Meso (32*) took the tournament hosts to the brink of victory, with Meso hitting the winning boundary to complete the chase with seven balls and five wickets remaining.
The win for the Proteas sets up a fascinating scenario in Group 1, with four teams all tied on four points heading into their respective final matches.
