So, this one is for them.

4:30 PM IST As seen in the first innings, targeting the stumps and forcing the batters to play proved most effective, something the Kiwis failed to replicate in their early exchanges with the ball. With a solid platform, Luus and Brits guided the chase with composure. Though their strike rotation was occasionally hurried, they executed the fundamentals well - respecting the good deliveries and capitalising on every scoring opportunity. As the game wore on, the gulf between the two teams became even more pronounced. The Kiwis struggled to rotate strike, played out far too many dot balls, and their fielding lacked sharpness. While the Proteas put their bodies on the line and saved every possible run, the White Ferns looked a touch casual, allowing easy singles and boundaries to slip through. There were some late strikes by Amelia Kerr, but ultimately they were pushed way behind by that 159-run stand between Luus and Brits.
