Sune Luus valiant half century effort was not enough to carry South Africa over the line as they lost by 13 runs to Pakistan Women in their second T20 International match at the Multan Cricket Stadium in Pakistan on Wednesday evening.
The decider will be played on Friday at the same venue.
With the score 12-1 and three overs in after Brits dismissal, the visitors found themselves in a tough position as Pakistan's bowling attack piled the pressure and made it difficult for them to play their natural attacking games.That was followed by standing applauses for the fifty partnership stand for the third wicket in the eight over.
Pakistan openers Muneba Ali and Gull Feroza laid a strong foundation for the Asians up front with bat after the Proteas women captain Laura Wolvaardt won the toss and chose to bowl. The trick to bring in the medium pacer immediately did damage just five balls into her spell as she removed Feroza for ten runs, caught by Nadine De Klerk at mid wicket.They finished the first power play with 45-1. Sidra Amin and Ali continued to notch up easy runs as the SA bowling attack struggled with consistency with their lines. Annerie Dercksen clean bowled the dangerous Ali with five runs short of her half century and broke the threatening partnership with only a single short of 50 runs.
