Lethal Legodi Captain Reyneke Help Proteas Breeze Past Irish At T20 World Cup

Monalisa Legodi and captain Kayla Reyneke put up formidable performances to push the Proteas U19 Women through to the next round of the T20 World Cup.

A pin-point 4/4 from two overs ensured Legodi was named player of the match as the Proteas swept Ireland by seven wickets in the Super 6 round.

The game was shortened to 10 overs due to inclement weather in Sarawak, Malaysia, with Ireland winning the toss and choosing to bat first.

Faw Cowling struck the first blow in her opening over catching Freya Sargent with a painful lbw.

The Irish neither gained nor sustained any momentum since the fall of the first wicket.
