Kayla Reyneke (2/13, econ 3.25) enjoyed a dream start to her T20I career, picking up the first wicket to fall and following that up with the prized wicket of Natalia Pervaiz for 20.

Hlubi (econ 13.66), Annerie Dercksen (0/25, 12.50) and Ayabonga Khaka (1/49, econ 12.2) took some serious stick from the Pakistan skipper as she single-handedly lifted their score to a competitive total of 180/9 with some power hitting.

Sune Luus (32 off 20) and Laura Wolvaardt (61 off 38) added 62 for the second wicket into the ninth over to put them on track for the win. The Proteas then lost three wickets for 14 runs at the end of the 16th over and needed 34 for victory off the last four overs.

Reyneke followed up her dream debut spell of bowling by hitting three sixes and a four to take her side to a thrilling last ball win, clearing the ropes off the final ball of the match to secure the win. Reyneke ended unbeaten on 29 off just 16 balls.
