ICC Women’s World Cup 2017: Australia vs South Africa, 5 Talking Points

#4 Laura Wolvaardt’s fighting innings

Laura held together the South African innings

Lizelle Lee had been firing with the bat in the previous games, however, when she failed to contribute, her opening partner took over the responsibility. She played a calm and composed innings of 71 runs off 94 deliveries.

She was involved in one partnership of 67 runs for the second wicket with Trisha Chetty, a couple of 30-run stands with Lizelle Lee and Mignon du Preez and one 16-run stand with Marizanne Kapp which came to an end with her own dismissal. Her wicket reduced South Africa to 148/4 and they fell like a pack of cards thereafter.
