**Sharjah, UAE:** South Africa suffered a setback in their second match of the Women’s T20 World Cup, struggling against England’s bowling attack. Despite a promising start, the Proteas lost momentum early on, failing to capitalize on the powerplay.
Opener Tazmin Brits, who was in blistering form in their previous match, was dismissed for a meager 13 runs, putting a brake on South Africa’s aggressive approach. Captain Laura Wolvaardt (22) and Anneke Bosch (1) are currently at the crease, attempting to build a solid foundation for their team.
After six overs, South Africa reached a modest 37 runs for the loss of one wicket. The team, who recorded a resounding 10-wicket victory over West Indies in their opening match, opted to bat first after winning the toss.
The initial overs witnessed a flurry of boundaries as Brits and Wolvaardt set the stage for a dominant display. However, England’s experienced bowler, Linsey Smith, broke the dangerous partnership, offering a much-needed lifeline to her team.
