Proteas Women bowl first in series finale

South Africa will bowl first after Ireland won the toss ahead of the third and final women’s ODI at the Wanderers on Friday.

The Proteas sealed the series when they made it two wins from two in Gqeberha on Tuesday, with Laura Wolvaardt and Sune Luus both scoring centuries in a national record score.

They were made to work hard for victory by the dogged Irish but, having already claimed the opener in East London, it leaves one match between the hosts and a clean sweep.

SOUTH AFRICA: Laura Wolvaardt (capt), Tazmin Brits, Karabo Meso, Sune Luus, Dane van Niekerk, Faye Tunnicliffe, Sinalo Jafta (wk), Leah Jones, Tumi Sekhukhune, Ayanda Hlubi, Nonkululeko Mlaba.

IRELAND: Sarah Forbes, Gaby Lewis (capt), Christina Coulter Reilly, Orla Prendergast, Laura Delany, Leah Paul, Rebecca Stokell, Arlene Kelly, Jane Maguire, Ava Canning, Aimee Maguire.
