DESPITE a dramatic late fightback, the Proteas Women lost the second T20 international by 13 runs against Pakistan in Multan on Wednesday night.
The Pakistan Women levelled the series 1-1, with one match remaining in the series on Friday (7am SA time start).
The hosts set the visitors a mammoth 182 as a target, a score South Africa often struggle to reach in the shortest format of the game, especially on the Asian sub-continent.
However, it was a challenge captain Laura Wolvaardt and her team welcomed, and they showed it right from the beginning of the chase.
Despite losing Tazmin Brits in the first powerplay, Wolvaardt (36 off 25 balls, 5x4, 1x6) and Anneke Bosch (24) showed positive intent as the pair put together a 50-run partnership before the captain fell in the ninth over.
