Australia registers series-clinching win over South Africa Women

In a thrilling encounter at Sydney, the Australian Women’s cricket team showcased their dominance over South Africa Women, securing a series-clinching win in the third and final ODI. Beth Mooney and Tahlia McGrath emerged as the stars of the show, delivering impressive performances that left the visitors sꦦtruggling to keep up and saw Australia emerge victo🧸rious by a massive margin of 110 runs.

Beth Mooney and Tahlia McGrath’s dominant batting

Winning the toss and opting to bat first, Australia laid down the gauntlet with an imposing total of 277/9 in their allotted 50 overs. Alyssa Healy set the tone with a solid knock of 60, providing a strong foundation for Mooney, who remained unbeaten at 82*. The partnership between these two players proved crucial in steering the hosts towards a commanding score. McGrath (44) and Annabel Sutherland (18) also contributed significantly, pushing th🔥e Aussie total to formidable heights.

Late fireworks from Alana King further bolstered the innings, as she scored a handy 17 runs off just 12 deliveries. Proteas’ emerged as the standout bowler, claiming an impressive four-wicket haul.

South Africa’s struggle and rain woes

Facing a revised target of 238 runs in 31 overs due to rain intervention, South African batters found it challenging to keep pace with the required run rate. Only Tazmin Brits and Sune Luus managed to cross the 30-run mark, but their inability to convert starts into substantial scores left the Proteas in a precarious position. The visitors were eventually bowled out for 127 runs in 24.3 overs, with King and McGrath wreaking havoc, bagging four and three wickets respectively. The rain-induced challenges compounded South Africa’s woes, resulting in a comprehensive victory for the Australian side.
