Global Women’s T20 2024: Top run-getters and wicket-takers after Titans vs Lions (Updated) ft. Simeone Lourens

Titans women won back-to-back games on January 6, Saturday at the Irene Villagers Cricket Club in Pretoria to end the Global Cricket Women’s T20 2024. The tri-series between Titans, Lions and Easterns concluded with Titans leading the charts.

Titans first drubbed Easterns by nine wickets before earning a hard-fought win against Lions in a low-scoring thriller. Lesedi Madisha’s terrific figures of 2-14, from three overs, was instrumental in restricting Easterns to 109-9.

Simone Lourens led the chase with her fireworks, scoring an unbeaten 66 off 34 at an astonishing strike rate of 194.12, including seven boundaries and three sixes. Titans completed the modest chase in 12.3 overs with nine wickets in hand.

In the second game, Fay Cowling 35(28) and Jenna Lee Lubbe 23(24) helped the Lions put on 121 in 19.2 overs. Lourens once again stepped up to take the mantle with 32 off 23 before she was dismissed in the 13th over.

Her dismissal didn’t disturb the Titans’ hunt after Christelle Van Der Schyff (21), and Gandhi Jafta (22) took them past the finish line in the penultimate over. On that note, let’s take a detailed look at the top run-scorers and wicket-takers in the Global Cricket Women’s T20 2024 after the conclusion of the league.
