Meg Lanning’s swashbuckling 135 not out overshadowed Laura Wolvaardt and Sune Luus’ half-centuries after SA let themselves down with poor fielding to lose against a solid Australia team that remains the only unbeaten side at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup.
Meg Lanning of Australia bats in the 2022 ICC Women's Cricket World Cup match against SA at Basin Reserve in Wellington, New Zealand on March 22 2022.Meg Lanning’s swashbuckling 135 not out overshadowed Laura Wolvaardt and Sune Luus’ half-centuries after SA let themselves down with poor fielding to lose against a solid Australia who remain the only unbeaten side at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup.
SA, who are in second on eight points from five games, will need to conclude their pool stage matches by beating either the West Indies on Thursday or India on Sunday to confirm their place in the semifinals. The eight points SA have accumulated could well be enough to advance to the knockout stages should either India or West Indies slip up.
Wolvaardt heartbreakingly got out on 90 and SA, at some point looking good to make 300, struggled to replicate the partnerships soon after her dismissal. Strike early they did as Shabnim Ismail removed dangerous Australian openers Alyssa Healy and Rachael Haynes in the first 10 overs, with Tryon accounting for another two Australian wickets.
