KARACHI: Pakistan spin trio stunned South Africa despite Nadine de Klerk’s fighting half-century to bowl them out for a meagre 185 in the third PAKW vs SAW ODI at National Bank Stadium on Thursday.
South African captain Laura Wolvaardt’s decision to bat first backfired as she was undone by Sadia Iqbal’s off-spinner on the fourth ball of the innings.
Fellow opener Tazmin Brits soon followed her captain back to the pavilion after a brief innings of 32 off 31.
Pakistani spin bowlers kept things tight and reduced South Africa to 64-4 in 17 overs before Marizanne Kapp and Nadine de Klerk stitched a conscious 36-run partnership to help South Africa reach the 100-run mark.
However, Sadia Iqbal broke the stand with her second wicket of the innings as Kapp walked back to the pavilion after scoring 21 runs off 41 balls with the help of one boundary.
Delmi Tucker then played a brief cameo 28 off 25 before being out-stumped at a total of 137.
Meanwhile, Nadine de Klerk tackled Pakistani bowlers bravely and scored her maiden ODI half-century amid falling wickets on the other end to drag the team’s total to 185 in the final PAKW vs SAW ODI.
She played a conscious innings of 60 off 95, featuring three boundaries, which ended courtesy of a runout, hence ending South Africa’s innings in the third PAKW vs SAW ODI.
Pakistan’s Nashra Sandhu, Nida Dar and Sadia Iqbal contributed with two wickets each, while, Diana Baig, Aliya Riaz and debutant Waheeda Akhtar managed one wicket.
