Chennai, July 5

Having lost the Test and ODI series, South Africa bounced back to defeat India by 12 runs in the first women’s T20I of their three-match series to secure their first win of the multi-format tour here today.

Opener Tazmin Brits (81 off 56 balls) and Marizanne Kapp (57 off 33) struck belligerent fifties as South Africa posted an imposing 189/4 after India opted to bowl.

In reply, Smriti Mandhana (46 off 30) and Shafali Verma (18 off 14) gave India a brisk start before South Africa triggered the collapse. Jemimah Rodrigues raised hopes lower down the order with a 53 not out, but South Africa held nerves to restrict them to 177/4.

Brief scores: South Africa: 189/4 in 20 overs (Brits 81, Kapp 57; Vastrakar 2/23, Radha 2/40); India: 177/4 in 20 overs (Rodrigues 53, Mandhana 47).

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
