In a game reduced to 40 overs per side, South Africa rode on Laura Wolvaardt&#8217;s well-paced 90, brisk half-centuries from Sune Luus and Marizanne Kapp, and a whirlwind 41 off 16 from Nadine de Klerk to post 312 for 9. The DLS revised target for Pakistan, which was initially 306 in 40 overs, was revised a few more times owing to more rain interruptions. The game was in danger of being called off but a result was eventually achieved, with Pakistan finishing with 83\/7 chasing a revised 234 in 20 overs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A dominant batting performance set up South Africa&#8217;s fifth straight victory in a rain-hit game as they knocked&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":234664,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[140832,64,63,740,140397,140831,140830,85],"class_list":["post-234663","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-22nd-match","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-icc-womens-world-cup-2025","tag-pakistan-women","tag-south-africa-women","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/234663","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=234663"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/234663\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/234664"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=234663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=234663"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=234663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
