Women’s T20 WC: Kapp, Ismail Pick Two Scalps Each As South Africa Restrict India To 158/7
T20 World Cup: South Africa’s pace spearheads Marizanne Kapp and Shabnim Ismail picked two wickets apiece to peg India back after a blazing start, as the Proteas restricted Harmanpreet Kaur-led side to 158/7 in their Group A clash of 2206 Women’s T20 World Cup at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Electing to bat first, India raced to 59/2 in the powerplay, but the middle overs proved far trickier on a dry surface where the ball often held up, as they amassed 57/3 in overs 7-15. Though India added 42 runs in the final five overs, South Africa’s disciplined bowlers struck regularly to ensure no batter crossed fifty, including giving away only six extras.
This was only the second time after 2016 that India have crossed 150 in a T20 World Cup game without an individual half‑century, thus leaving the contest delicately poised. India’s innings began with Shafali Verma crisply clipping Marizanne Kapp off her pads for four, before driving Shabnim Ismail through cover for another boundary. Smriti Mandhana joined in by driving Shabnim on the up, before pulling her to collect consecutive boundaries.
