KARACHI: Opening batter Tazmin Brits’ 78-run knock, paired up with her partner Laura Wolvaardt’s 44 powered the South Africa Women’s team to set Pakistan to chase 151 in the first PAKW vs SAW T20I of the three-match series.
Put into bat first, South Africa piled up a commendable total of 150/3 on the board, courtesy of a solid foundation laid by the openers.
South Africa’s opening pair of Brits and Wolvaardt scripted a solid start to the innings as the pair notched up an 85-run partnership.
