Riding on Ashleigh van Wyk's spell, South Africa women batters did their part of the job as they chased down a paltry score of 106 against Australia women in the 1st semi-final to be played at the Bayuemas Oval, Kuala Lumpur in the ongoing ICC U-19 Women's T20 WC 2025. (Match Highlights | More Cricket News)
Van Wyk's 4/17 derailed Australia's momentum, as only Caoimhe Bray's 36 was a respectable score for the ꧟women in yellow. The Aussies could only muster 105/8 in 20 overs as Proteas smelled v🐼ictory.
In reply, the Proteas women lost wickets early, but Jemma Botha's impactful 37 set them towards victory. Despite flurry of wick🐈ets late on, South Africa women held on and registered 💮a fine five-wicket win, to seal their spot in the final.
South Africa will now await the winner of India women vs England women in the second seﷺmi-final, which will start soon, at the same venue.
