In a staggering display of batting prowess, Marizanne Kapp and Tazmin Brits guided South Africa to a commanding eight-wicket victory over Pakistan in the first ODI held in Lahore. Their unbroken third-wicket stand of 216 runs effortlessly steered the team past Pakistan's total of 256.
Pakistan's Sidra Amin played a commendable innings, scoring an unbeaten 121 off 150 deliveries, but her efforts were overshadowed by the stellar performance of Kapp and Brits. With Pakistan's hopes of posting a higher score dashed by disciplined death bowling from South Africa, the visitors found an ideal formula for success as they prepare for the imminent World Cup.
Captain Laura Wolvaardt lauded the exceptional duo, stating, "They were absolutely amazing; we could have watched them all day." The partnership not only brought victory but highlighted Brits' unique achievement as she became the only player in women's ODIs to score centuries against all four of the major South Asian teams.
