South Africa Vs Scotland Live Score, Women's T20 World Cup 2024: Proteas Start Strong In Dubai | SA-W - 132/3 After 16 Overs

The fall of Tazmin Brits may have come as a big relief to the Scots. In the 14th over, Olivia Bell delivers a dangerous, and once again it was Bryce who did the job by catching it well (not too well but a successful one)! The Proteas opener departs after a solid 43 runs off 35 balls, including five fours and a six.

Now, Sune Luus, the right-handed batter, comes to the crease to join Kapp.

RSA-W: 132-3 (16)

There goes the second wicket! But with 8 overs still remaining, there’s time to inflict some damage on the Scots bowlers. Anneke Bosch, scoring 11 off 13, falls to Darcey Carter, caught by Bryce!

Now, Marizanne Kapp, the right-handed batter, comes to the crease.

SA-W: 96-2(12)

And here comes the hope! Katherine Fraser makes a breakthrough by dismissing the Proteas' strong opener. She delivers a wider, fuller length ball, and down goes captain Wolvaardt, caught by Olivia Bell. The partnership is broken.

Now, Anneke Bosch, the right-handed batter, comes to the crease.

RSA-W: 68-1(8.3)

It seems the opening pair of Wolvaardt and Tazmin is back to their resilient style of play, like they did in the opening match.

Tazmin with 20 runs off 16 balls, and captain Laura Wolvaardt with 37 runs off just 20 balls, have taken South Africa Women to 60 runs in only 6 overs!

That was one of the best powerplay of the season so far.

RSA-W: 61-0(6.3)

And the thrill begins with a dropped catch! Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits are at the crease.

Kathryn Bryce, bowling right-arm medium pace, is now coming into the attack after Rachel Slater opened the bowling.

SAW: 8-0(1.3)

WV Raman and Pommie Mbangwa | The temperature is 37 degrees at the moment. Dimensions - 57 and 63 square, 73 metres straight down the ground which looks dry despite the grasses being all green. The batters should play with the turn and use their bottom hand to score well. It is also important for the bowlers to work around and push the fielders in the deep, as the surface is low-bounced, so playing across the line would be risky. 

Scotland Women (Playing XI): Saskia Horley, Sarah Bryce(w), Kathryn Bryce(c), Ailsa Lister, Priyanaz Chatterji, Darcey Carter, Lorna Jack, Katherine Fraser, Rachel Slater, Abtaha Maqsood, Olivia Bell
