Bangladesh Women made a brilliant turnaround to edge South Africa on their own turf and beat the hosts by 13 wickets in the first Twenty20 clash in Benoni.
The Tigresses rode on Murshida Khatun’s patient 62-run knock to post 149 for 2 after electing to bat first at Willowmoore Park on Sunday.
In reply, South Africa eased to 68 for no loss in 9 overs but Shorna Akter (5-28) led a superb comeback, with her side picking up eight wickets at the expense of 62 runs.
It was Bangladeshi Women’s second win over South Africa, first one away from home. The Tigresses crushed them by 7 wickets in Mirpur in 2012.
