Summary
South Africa edged out Pakistan in a heart-stopping thriller, winning by two wickets after a tense chase that hinged on a wide on the final ball. Kapp’s early fire helped Pakistan collapse to 29 for 5, but Fatima Sana’s gritty all-round effort steadied the ship and set a competitive 127. Annerie Dercksen’s explosive half-century (52 off 35) turned the tide, alongside Nadine de Klerk’s 37, as South Africa overcame consistent wickets to scrape home. The win exposed their ongoing struggles against spin — Pakistan bowled 16 overs of it, and the Proteas looked rattled. With India looming next, South Africa know every game is vital, and they’ll need to fix their spin woes if they’re to keep their semi-final dreams alive.
