with a six-wicket win over hosts South Africa, sparked by Tahlia McGrath’s 33-ball 57 and Georgia Wareham’s 2-18.
“It’s a big relief. I haven’t been batting overly well and was lacking some time in the middle, so I was a bit nervous to start off with,” said Player of the Match McGrath. Ellyse Perry, promoted to partner opener Mooney in Healy’s stead, fetched two fours in her eight-ball stay. She was, however, caught by first-slip off Marizanne Kapp to the delight of the 8367 crowd at Kapp’s home ground.
Australia coupled their sterling performance with the ball with enviable fielding, saving at least 15 runs through their boundary-riding alone. The 23-year-old opener could, however, add only another six runs to her tally as Perry got her to nick a length ball behind.
