The South African women’s cricket team drew inspiration from the men’s remarkable victory over Australia in the final of the ICC World Test Championship at Lord’s in London yesterday.
The women Proteas beat their West Indies counterpart by 40 runs in Barbados early Sunday morning to level the three-match ODI series one-all.
Player of the Match, Sunee Luus, contributed 76 runs off 65 deliveries, while Nondumiso Shangase recorded a half century in South Africa’s innings of 309 for nine in 50 overs.
In reply, the Windies were bowled out for 269 in 50 overs with left-arm spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba taking four for 30 in ten overs.
The third and final match of the series is on Tuesday, also in Barbados.
