West Indies Women went into the 3rd One-Day International (ODI) against South Africa Women with the knowledge that a win would seal the series victory, having taken a 1-0 lead on Monday with just the two games remaining in the series. However, the home team won the toss and gave WINDIES what has proven to be a difficult task so far in the series: chasing under lights.

In batting first, South African opener, Tazmin Brits took a liking to Shamilia Connell early in the piece. This, as she took West Indies’ frontline seamer for four 4s in her second over. Connell, however, would have her revenge, nicking off the right-hander in the following over.

And Connell would claim a second, thanks to a fantastic catch by Deandra Dottin. That wicket of Anneke Bosch brough the pair of Laura Wolvaardt and Sune Luus together.

And with milestones for both—Luus (56) and Wolvaardt (117)—they would put on 141 runs for the third wicket; setting up the innings perfectly for Chloe Tryon to finish. And finish she did, dragging South Africa’s sights from a target of 280 to 300 with 43 runs from just 24 deliveries.
