All-rounder Anneke Bosch first pegged the Indian women with a couple of wickets and then smashed an unbeaten 66 off 48 balls to ensure an easy eight wicket victory for South Africa women in the first T20 International here on Saturday. Harleen Deol`s (52) confident maiden international fifty was the only silver lining for an otherwise lacklustre display by the Indians who posted a modest 130 for six after being invited to bat.
The South Africans chased down the target easily with five balls to spare with opener Bosch (66 not out) and captain Sune Luus (43 off 49 balls) sharing 90 runs for the second wicket. SA reached to 133 for 2 in 19.1 overs. India scored just 26 runs from the last five overs and that`s where they again lost the match with distinct lack of power hitters. The Indian bowlers never put any sort of pressure on the Bosch-Luus duo for a long stretch in the match. Bosch hit nine fours and a six in her 48-ball unbeaten innings after she took 2 for 11 during Indian innings.
