KARACHI: Sune Luus and Marizanne Kapp scored brilliant centuries and powered South Africa to 292/4 in the first PAKW vs SAW ODI against Pakistan on Friday.
Opting to bat first, South Africa piled up a massive total of 292/4 at the back of Luus and Kapp’s centuries.
Earlier, the openers provided a flying start as they charged on the Pakistan bowlers early on before both perished in successive overs to leave South Africa reeling at 40/2 in the fifth over.
In-form openers Tazmin Brits and Laura Wolvaardt could make meagre contributions in the first PAKW vs SAW ODI, scoring 17 each.
Coming out to bat at number three Lara Goodall attempted to anchor the innings with a cautious 24-run partnership with Luus but failed to stretch the stand as she fell victim to Aliya Riaz in the 10th over.
With the side having slipped to 64/3, veteran all-rounder Marizanne Kapp joined Sune Luus in the middle and launched an astounding recovery.
