India Women vs South Africa Women: Even in the last battle of five T20 matches, the Indian team lost to South Africa. Batting first, South Africa made 155 runs in 20 overs but the Indian team could only score 132 runs in 20 overs. The main reason for India's defeat was Laura Woolworth's innings. The South African captain played an inning of 92 runs in 56 balls. 11 fours and 2 sixes came from his bat. Apart from her, Sune Luus scored 23 runs, apart from her no other player could make a big contribution. It seemed that Team India would achieve this target but due to the failure of the top order it could not happen.

Indian women's team's defeat

Team India, which set out to chase the target of 156 runs, had a bad start. Shefali Verma became the victim of marks after scoring only 4 runs. Jemima was dismissed by Khaka on the personal score of 1 run. Anushka Sharma could also score only 17 runs in 21 balls. Bharti Phoolmali certainly showed courage to settle on the wicket but even her 40 runs were of no help to the team. Deepti Sharma's poor form continued and she could score only 8 runs. Wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh scored unbeaten 25 runs. Arundhati Reddy could score only 1 run. Mlaba and De Klerk took 2-2 wickets for South Africa. Marks, Chloe Tynan and Khaka got 1 wicket each.

Laura Woolworth's magic

This right-handed opener scored 330 runs in 5 matches at an average of 82.5 in the series. He scored one century and 3 half-centuries.
