In an exciting opening match of the England women’s tour of South Africa 2024, England registed a four-wicket victory over South Africa at Buffalo Park. Chasing a competitive 143, England reached the target with four balls to spare, thanks to a masterful knock from Natalie Sciver.

South Africa sets a challenging target against England

Afte??r being put into bat by England, South Africa Women posted 142 for 5 in 20 overs. Laura Wolvaardt (2??2 off 19) gave the hosts a steady start, supported by contributions from Anneke Bosch (18 off 12) and Annerie Dercksen (26 not out off 29). Nadine de Klerk played a crucial late cameo, smashing 29* off 16 deliveries, including four boundaries, to lift South Africa to a competitive total.

England’s bowlers maintained discipline throughout the innings. Sophie Ecclestone was the standout, delivering an economical spell of 1 for 18 in four overs, while Charlotte Dean’s clever variations earned her figures of 2 for 21. Freya Kemp and Sarah Glenn also picked up a wicket each, restricting South Africa’s scoring opportunities at critical moments.

Nat Schiver and Amy Jones guide England to victory

England’s chase got off to a mixed start as they lost Da??nielle Wyatt (11 off 11) and Sophia Dunkley (4 off 9) early. However, Natalie Sciver anchored the innings with a well-paced 59 off 54 balls, hitting seven boundaries. Despite losing partners at regular intervals, Sciver found support i??n Amy Jones, who contributed a brisk 31 off 19, including a six and 4 fours.

With seven runs needed off the final over, Eliz dismissed Nat Sciver to keep South Africa in the game. However, England held their nerve, with Ecclestone striking the winning runs in form of a leg bye to seal a dramatic victory in 19.2 overs.

The two teams will meet again in the second T20I at Willowmoore Park on Wednesday, Novem??ber 27.

In a Group B encounter of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 on Monday (October 7), South Africa faced England in Sharjah. Despite a strong start, the South African batting lineup struggled to capitalize on their early promise, ultimately finishing with a below-par total. The match showcased brilliance from England’s bowlers, particularly in key moments that shifted the momentum. A standout incident involved Nat Sciver-Brunt‘s remarkable footwork, resulting in an unusual run-out that further highlighted South Africa’s difficulties in the innings.

Sune Luus falls victim to Nat Sciver-Brunt’s skillful footwork

In a moment of sheer instinct and athleticism, Sciver-Brunt delivered one of the most unusual dismissals of the ongoing World Cup. In the 19th over of South Africa’s innings, Sciver-Brunt bowled a full delivery outside off to Annerie Dercksen. The South African batter drilled the ball straight back at the bowler, who instinctively stuck out her foot to avoid the ball. In an unintended stroke of brilliance, Sciver-Brunt’s boot deflected the ball onto the stumps at the non-striker’s end, leaving Sune Luus stranded out o??f her crease. The moment resembled a football-style pass, and Sciver-Brunt’s reflexes led to a bizarre and rare run-out. With Luus dismissed fo?r 1, England tightened their grip on the match, adding to South Africa’s struggles.

South Africa’s struggles with wickets falling at crucial moments

Earlier, Despite a solid start by captain Laura Wolvaardt, who scored 42 off 39 balls, South Africa failed to capitalize on their promising position. The team lost early wickets, including key batters like Tazmin Brits (13) and Anneke Bosch (18), which hampered their momentum. England’s bowlers, led by Sophie Ecclestone and Sarah Glenn, applied relentless pressure, never allowing South Africa to form lasting partnerships. With the dismissals of key players, South Africa’s middle order faltered, and t??heir run rate slowed down significantly.

Late surge by Annerie Dercksen and Marizanne Kapp helps South Africa cross 120

After losing regular wickets, South Africa found some late impetus thanks to Marizanne Kapp and Dercksen. Kapp played a quick-fire knock of 26 from 17 balls, hitting three boundaries to boost South Africa’s total. Dercksen added a vital 20 off 11 balls, including a six, providing a much-needed lift in the final overs. Despite their efforts, South Africa’s innings concluded at 124/6, a score that appeared under par on a good batting surface. England’s disciplined bowling performance, combined with Sciver-Brunt’s incredible run-out, left South Africa with a challenging task in defending their total.

Danielle Wyatt, the celebrated cricketer from England who once famously proposed to Virat Kohli in 2014, recently made headlines for a different reason: her marriage to longtime partner Georgie Hodge.

The couple tied the knot on August 22, and Wyatt shared the joyous occasion with her followers on Instagram, posting beautiful images from their wedding. Wyatt’s marriage to Hodge marks a significant personal milestone for the cricketer. Their union, a celebration of love and LGBTQ+ acceptance, has garnered widespread congratulations on social media. The couple’s long-standing relationship has finally culminated in this special moment, symbolizing their commitment and shared journey.

Social media blunder and Danielle Wyatt’s witty comeback

Despite the celebrations, a mix-up on social media provided an unexpected twist. Indian paparazzi Viral Bhayani mistakenly identified Wyatt and Hodge as another same-sex couple from the England cricket team, Natalie Sciver and Katherine Brunt, who had married in 2022.

//www.instagram.com/p/C_VRvjZIuDd/?img_index=1

Bhayani’s post quickly caught Wyatt’s attention, and she responded with a blend of humor and grace. Wyatt playfully congratulated Sciver and Brunt, turning the error into an opportunity for light-hearted banter. Her response was met with widespread appreciation from her followers, who praised her for her good-natured handling of the situation.

Wyatt is celebrated for her extensive contributions to England cricket. She holds the distinction of being England’s highest run-scorer across formats and has also played the most international matches for her country. Her prowess in T20 Internationals is particularly notable, with two centuries to her name, showcasing her ability to excel in the shortest format of the game.

Following the T20 World Cup, Wyatt is set to take part in the tenth edition of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL).

The thrilling contest saw both teams fight ??fiercely until the last ball, with the Originals ultimately emerging victori??????????????????????????ous.

Brilliant run-out sends Laura Wolvaardt packing

The Originals, batting first, posted a total of 137/6 from their 100 balls. The innings began on a challenging note as they lost opener Laura Wolvaardt early. Wolvaardt was run out in a moment of brilliance by Nat Sciver-Brunt, who executed a direct hit to dismiss the opener. On the 13th ball, Ashleigh Gardner bowled a good length delivery that drifted sharply in at middle stump. Beth Mooney attempted a risky single, but Wolvaardt’s dive fell short due to Sciver-Brunt’s exceptional fielding. This breakthrough was crucial and gave the Rockets an early advantage.

Manchester Originals’ middle order resilience

Despite the early blow, the Originals’ middle order showed resilience. No. 3 batter Emma Lamb was bowled by Heather Graham, leaving the team at 45/2. However, Kathryn Bryce and Eve Jones stabilized the innings with identical scores of 30 each, providing much-needed runs in the middle overs. Captain Sophie Ecclestone contributed a quickfire 13 from just five balls towards the end of the innings. For the Rockets, Graham was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2/31, while spinners Gardner and Kirstie Gordon each claimed a wicket in their 20-ball spells.

Nat Sciver-Brunt’s heroic effort for Trent Rockets falls short

Chasing 138, the Rockets faced early setbacks, losing their top three batters to Lauren Filer (2/26) and Ecclestone (1/19) with only 47 runs on the board in 39 balls. Captain Sciver-Brunt then launched a counterattack, forming a crucial 86-run partnership with Gardner. Gardner’s dismissal by Bryce at a critical juncture added to the tension.

Sciver-Brunt continued to fight valiantly, scoring an unbeaten 56 off 46 balls. Her efforts brought the Rockets within striking distance of the target. Nevertheless, despite her explosive resistance, the Rockets fell just one run short of victory in a last-ball thriller. The Originals’ defense of their total, bolstered by Filer and Ecclestone’s key wickets, ensured a memorable win for the team.

In a dazzling display of power-hitting and cricketing prowess, England’s women all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt etched her name in the annals of cricket history during her 100th One-Day International (ODI) match against Sri Lanka. On a rain-affected day, Sciver-Brunt unleashed her batting fury to notch the fastest century in women’s ODI cricket, leaving spectators and cricket enthusiasts in awe.

In the 31 overs-per-side encounter against Sri Lanka, Sciver-Brunt’s blazing century stole the show. She achieved the milestone with remarkable ease, facing just 74 balls to amass a colossal score of 120 runs. Her explosive innings was instrumental in propelling the English team to a commanding victory, ultimately winning the game by a substantial margin of 161 runs.

Sciver-Brunt’s plans for the future

Following England’s convincing series win against Sri Lanka, Sciver-Brunt took a moment to reflect on her remarkable achievement and share her future plans, which include a return to her bowling duties.

Also READ: ENG-W vs SL-W 2023 – Nat Sciver’s record-breaking ton, Charlie Dean’s fifer steer England to 2-0 series win over Sri Lanka

She annou?nced her intention to return to bowling duties in the upcoming series against India. She revealed that she had refrained from bowling post the Ashe??s series to allow her body some much-needed rest.

“The plan is to be back for the India series in December. The decision not to bowl post-Ashes, I guess, was more to give the body a bit of a rest and to train without having to rush around and doing everything all the time, so it was quite nice actually,” Sciver-Brunt stated during?? the post-match presentation.

Sciver-Brunt’s enthusiasm for her return to bowling was palpable as she expressed her eagerness to once again wield the ball. Her commitment to contributing to all facets of the game as an all-rounder was evident when she said, “When you’re playing games, I want to influence as much as I can in every part of the game. That’s the best part of being an all-rounder. Fielding and not being able to influence with the ball was a little bit frustrating but I was happy to have the body break.”
