Laura Wolvaardt got South Africa off to a quickfire start while her partner got a lifeline early on in her Innings which she capitalized by scoring a half century. Anneke Bosch’s Innings as well as the late cameo from Annerie Dercksen helped the Proteas Women post up a total of 177 on the board.
The fielding and bowling of the Indian Women side was pretty decent on a really good batting wicket.

Anneke Bosch (South Africa Women) : "I struggled a little bit at the middle but to get a good partnership at the middle was the plan for us. Yeah, we are really pleased with the score we got in the board but still we have a job to do with the ball.
Yeah we were quite confident to get a similar score to the previous night or maybe more. We are really happy with the score we go tonight and lets hope we can defend it."
