WESTERN CAPE NEWS - The hopes of the SWD women's team to qualify for the Super League of Cricket SA's provincial women's competition next season, were shattered on Saturday 24 April when they lost by 79 runs against Easterns.
In the promotion qualifier played at the Wanderers Club in Johannesburg on Saturday, the SWD women, who won the toss and elected to field, did reasonably well to restrict Easterns to 149 all out (in 44,5 overs).
A fourth wicket partnership of 80 between Madison Landsman (48) and Barnadtee Greeff (43) enabled Easterns to post a competitive total. SWD's Miceala Andrews (3/16 in 8 overs), Jané Winster (3/34 in 10 overs) and Marnizelle Rabie (2/27 in 4,5 overs) excelled with the ball.
However, the SWD batting innings never got going and it was only Winster with an unbeaten 24 that offered some resistance. SWD was dismissed for only 70. Tsholelolo Marema (3/15), Thambi Mokgohloa (2/19) and Alysia Rudolph (2/1) were the top wicket takers for Easterns.
