Proteas Seal T20 Series with Fourth Win over India as Wolvaardt Magic Strikes Again

Laura Wolvaardt’s unbeaten 92 lifted South Africa to 156 and exposed India’s top-order collapse in the series decider.

  • On Monday, South Africa secured a 4-1 series win against India with a 23-run victory in Benoni, led by captain Laura Wolvaardt's unbeaten 92 off 56 balls.
  • Chasing 156 for victory, India was restricted to 132/8 in 20 overs as experienced batters failed to deliver and the required run rate climbed steadily.
  • After an opening stand of 75 with Sune Luus, Wolvaardt anchored the innings, striking 11 fours and two sixes. Her late flourish lifted South Africa to 155/6.
  • Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur labored to 22, while Bharti Fulmali provided 40 runs before falling in the 16th over. Proteas bowler Nonkululeko Mlaba led with 2/15.
  • This series outcome serves as a reality check for WODI champion India ahead of the T20 World Cup in England in June, as the team continues to struggle with consistency.
