Brilliant bowling display helped South Africa to victory over UAE and a second-place finish in Group D at Willowmoore Park in Benoni on Wednesday, 18 January 2023.
The junior Proteas saw Miane Smit rip through the middle order with 4/11 from her four overs, with Ayanda Hlubi (2/6) and Seshnie Naidu (2/16) also impressing with the ball.
Chasing 113 to win, UAE never got going, and were bundled out for 67 in 17 overs.
Earlier, a timely partnership between Jenna Evans (17 from 12) and Oluhle Siyo (25* from 28) had boosted South Africa up to a competitive score.
The openers had built a solid platform, with Simone Lourens hitting 27 from 29 and Elandri Janse Van Rensburg scoring 24 from 23. But just 44 runs were scored for the loss of six wickets in ten overs through the middle of the innings, giving UAE some before their own batting collapse.
Both teams progress to the Super Six stage along with group-winners India.
