Marizanne Kapp and Tazmin British produced a Batting Masterclass to provide the Proteas women with power to a commander eight-wicket victory in the Opening One-Day International (ODI) against Pakistan in Lahore on Tuesday.
In a position of 216 runs, Kapp led the load with a career-best 121* from 128 deliveries (13 four, 2 sixes), while British supplied a composed 101* from 121 balls (9 four). Their record third-wicket partnership for South Africa ensured that the visitors comfortably chased the 255/4 of Pakistan, with 121* (150 balls; 12 fours) of Sidra Amin.
Earlier, after winning the throw and choosing Bat, Pakistan experienced an early setback when Opener Shawaal Zulfiqar (0) ran back to a sharp catch with one hand by Wicketkeeper Sinalo Jafta for Ayabonga Khaka (2/36). Amin and Muneeba Ali (76 out of 94 balls; 11 celebrations) then rebuilt the innings, showing a test period to share a 147-run, second-wicket partnership. Ali hit her fifth ODI half century before Khaka struck again and her LBW captured to leave the hosts 150/2 in the 31st.

Riaz got rid of Nondumiso Shangase and Jafta quickly, before Tumi Sekhukhune (1/37) removed Fatima Sana (3). Although Wickets fell around her, Amin raised her fifth career -Eudi -century to guide Pakistan to 255/4 at the end of their innings.
