Tazmin Brits smashed her way to an unbeaten 98 runs as South Africa crushed the West Indies team on Friday night. The Proteas women won their first Twenty20 match against the Caribbean side with a huge 50-run margin. Brits hammered nine boundaries and four massive sixes during her brilliant knock. Her teammates struggled early when captain Laura Wolvaardt and experienced player Marizanne Kapp lost their wickets quickly. The opening batter kept attacking despite losing partners at the other end.

Nadine de Klerk joined Brits for a strong partnership that added 71 valuable runs to the total. The pair worked well together before bowler Jahazar Claxton struck again to remove de Klerk for 21 runs. Chloe Tryon and Annerie Dercksen could not stick around long enough to build another big stand. Brits continued her assault and reached the highest individual score ever made against the West Indies. The 34-year-old guided her team to a massive total of 183 runs.

South African bowlers made life difficult for the home team from the very start. Marizanne Kapp used her experience to take two early wickets and finished with excellent figures. Ayabonga Khaka and Nonkululeko Mlaba kept the pressure building with tight bowling spells. The West Indies found themselves in deep trouble at 49 runs for five wickets after just eight overs. Janillea Glasgow fought back with a determined half-century of 53 runs but received no help from her teammates.
