Women's World Cup 2025: In the Women's World Cup 2025, the match was played between Bangladesh and South Africa on 13 October.

South Africa surprised again

Now let us know what happened in the match. Bangladesh batted first and scored 232 runs for 6 wickets in 50 overs. Shorna Akhtar scored the maximum 51 runs for Bangladesh, which included 3 fours and 3 sixes. Now South Africa had a target of 233 runs, which they achieved with 3 balls remaining. Now South Africa hit the target and surprised everyone. Because when something happens once, it becomes understandable. But, the feat that South Africa did against Bangladesh in the Women's World Cup 2025 was visible in its second consecutive match.

South Africa defeated Bangladesh when half of its team, i.e. 5 batsmen, had returned to the pavilion for just 78 runs in the run chase. South Africa had done a similar feat against India in the last match, where while chasing the target of 252 runs, its 5 wickets had fallen for just 81 runs. Meaning, in the second consecutive match of the Women's World Cup, South Africa has snatched victory from the jaws of its opponent.

0 runs on 166 balls, still won

How did victory slip away from Bangladesh?

Now the question is, how did South Africa hit the ground even after playing 166 balls and losing 5 wickets for just 78 runs? Who made him win? So once again the same player who had snatched victory from India's jaws in the last match became the trouble-shooter. He also showed his mettle against Bangladesh and garlanded the team with victory.

We are talking about Chloe Trian and Nadine De Klerk. Clerk, who played an explosive inning of 84 runs in the last match against India, remained unbeaten after scoring 37 runs on 29 balls against Bangladesh. That is, she returned only after making the team win. At the same time, 62 runs from the bat of Chloe Tryon and her partnership with Marijne Kapp helped the team overcome the top order setbacks and push it towards victory. Kaap also scored 56 runs. Chloe Tryan was chosen player of the match.
