Marizanne Kapp bowls an eye-catching inswinger

Marizanne Kapp slammed a superb 75-run knock before claiming 3/12 with the ball to help South Africa Women beat Australia in the second women’s ODI. South Africa’s win saw them level the three-match series at 1-1. Kapp’s all-round efforts helped SA Women bag their maiden win on the tour after they lost three consecutive T20Is and the first ODI.

Kapp walked up to the crease with South Africa in a spot of bother at 71/3 after 15.5 overs. She added 46 runs alongside Sune Luus, 36 alongside Nadine de Klerk and 45 alongside Chloe Tryon. She was dismissed when SA Women were 198/6, having scored 75 from 87 balls through 12 fours. South Africa managed 229/6 in a rain-reduced game of 45 overs, with Kapp registering her fourth WODI fifty, posting her career-best score.

With the ball, Kapp dismissed Alyssa Healy, Phoebe Litchfield, and Beth Mooney, reducing Australia to (34/3). She bowled five overs, bowling one maiden and conceding just 12 runs. 3/12 is now her finest spell against Australia.
