South Africa secured seventh place at the ICC Women’s World Cup after a comprehensive nine-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the 7th/8th play-off.
Another disappointing display with the bat, a problem that has affected Sri Lanka throughout this tournament, saw it made just 72 all out, with Suwini de Alwis (24) the top scorer.
Young leg spinner, Dane van Niekerk, added to her growing reputation with a brilliant spell of 3-11, while Charlize van der Westhuizen, who is now ranked 14th in the world in the Reliance Mobile ICC ODI Women’s Rankings, also put in another great display as she took 2-16.
In reply, Trisha Chetty (41 not out) and Cri-Zelda Brits (31 not out) added an unbroken stand of 72 for the second-wicket as it cruised to victory with 21.3 overs to spare.
