The T20 World Cup warm-up match between South Africa Women and New Zealand Women<\/strong><\/a> proved to be an action-packed affair, with New Zealand securing a comprehensive 8-wicket victory. Despite a valiant effort from South Africa\u2019s Laura Wolvaardt, who top-scored with 33, the Proteas struggled to make an impact as they were bowled out for a mere 92 runs. Key performances from New Zealand\u2019s Leigh Kasperek and Amelia Kerr, who took 3 wickets apiece, paved the way for a successful chase by the White Ferns, led by Kerr (37) and Sophie Devine (35*).<\/p>\n\n\n

The match began with New Zealand winning the toss and electing to bowl first at the Sevens Stadium. It didn\u2019t take long for the White Ferns to make an impact, as seamer Eden Carson (2\/21) dismissed South African openers Tazmin Brits (0) and Anneke Bosch (5) in the very first over. South Africa found themselves in trouble early on, and the pressure continued to build when Chloe Tryon (2) was removed by a stunning one-handed catch from Suzie Bates off the bowling of Lea Tahuhu (1\/28). At the end of the powerplay, South Africa was reeling at 24\/3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
