Bangladesh women were officially eliminated on Saturday after suffering a seven-wicket loss. They ended their campaign with one win over Scotland and three losses in the tournament's group stage.
The Nigar Sultana Joty-led Bangla side decided to bat first in their final match of the tournament and managed to post 106 runs on the board after 20 overs. Sobhana Mostary (38 off 43 balls) and the skipper Sultana (32 not out off 38 balls) were the two high-scorers of the team.
South African bowlers kept them at bay and never allowed them to make runs easily. The strike rate of the batters never crossed 100 and that helped South Africa halt the Asian team to 106/3.
In response, Proteas women's opener Tazmin Brits gave a good start with the skipper Wolvaardt. She made 42 runs off just 41 balls with the help of five boundaries in her innings. She was given the Player of the Match award for her knock.
Marizanne Kapp and Chloe Tryon played unbeaten knocks to take the African team home safely with 16 balls and seven wickets to spare.
South Africa women are currently leading Group B with six points in four matches whereas Bangladesh were eliminated from the tournament.
