16.5Dercksen to A Sutherland2
Two runs. Annerie Dercksen to Annabel Sutherland. Length ball, wide outside off stump on the front foot driving, to deep extra cover for 2 runs, fielded by Kapp. Australia register a commanding win, comfortably chasing down the target inside 17 overs and finishing the league phase unbeaten. Despite losing two early wickets in the powerplay, Georgia Voll and Beth Mooney steadied the innings with composed and mature knocks, ensuring there were no further hiccups in the chase. South Africa did manage to make early inroads with two crucial breakthroughs, but their momentum was short-lived as Australia's top order took control. The day belongs to Alana King, who dismantled South Africa's line-up with a masterclass in spin bowling. It was a clinical all-round display from Australia, sharp with the ball, composed with the bat, and ruthless in execution. Alana King was deservedly named Player of the Match for her outstanding bowling performance.
