Put in to bat, South Africa got off to an excellent start with openers Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits adding 116 runs for the first wicket. But England slowly clawed their way back into the contest when they picked up three wickets for just three runs, reducing South Africa from 116 for no loss to 119/3.
However, Wolvaardt and Kapp steadied the innings with a composed 72-run stand that restored South Africa’s momentum.
Once Wolvaardt reached her century, she switched gears and put up a vital 89 run-stand with Tryon after Kapp’s dismissal. Wolvaardt contributed heavily in that partnership before being dismissed by Bell after a brilliant century that set the tone for a memorable South African victory.
Tryon continued the charge in the final overs, finding support from Nadine de Klerk as the duo added 28 runs in the last two overs. Their late flourish ensured South Africa crossed the 300-run mark.
