The Australian women’s team continued their winning run in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2022 against South Africa on Tuesday. They won the match by 5 wickets, to secure their sixth win of the tournament.

During the course of the match, South African batter, Mignon du Preez’s incredible effort in the field, caught everyone’s attention. She took a stunning catch to dismiss Australian opener, Rachael Haynes.

In the 11th over, Haynes pulled a half-tracker delivery off Chloe Tryon, however, du Preez, who was at deep mid-wicket, ran to her left and dived forward to complete a breath-taking catch. Rachael had to go back to the hut for 17 runs off 29 balls.

Meg Lanning leads Australia from the front with a match-winning century

Australian skipper Meg Lanning slammed a match-winning century on Tuesday against South Africa at the Basin Reserve in Wellington. She scored 135 runs off 130 balls, including 15 boundaries and a six. She remained unbeaten helping Australia to continue its winning streak.

Lanning averages 44.60 in five matches in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2022 so far. He has led the table-topper from the front in the tournament.

“We broke the back of it (chase) through the middle which gave us nice little breathing space, I still think we gave away too many chances between batters including myself which we don’t need to and that’s something we can work on. Just keep go out there and we haven’t played them very often and make sure we come prepared,” the Australian skipper said at the post-match presentation.

Australia will take on Bangladesh in their next match on March 25 at the Basin Reserve in Wellington.
