Tryon walked out to bat at the fall of the fourth wicket with South Africa requiring a mammoth 175 runs from 76 deliveries. However, Tryon showed tremendous spirit as she smashed 54 runs off just 26 deliveries and for a moment looked like taking South Africa all the way.

Her innings was studded with 5 fours and 4 humongous sixes but unfortunately, ended in a losing cause. The crowd also gave her a standing ovation, applauding her fighting spirit and tremendous innings under pressure.
