Mohammed wrecks South Africa as Windies ladies win 20/20 series

Oct 27, 2009 Sports

A career-best 5-10 by the T&T off-spinner Anisa Mohammed helped West Indies women take the Twenty20 series in amazing fashion in Cape Town yesterday.
South Africa did well to restrict the Caribbean lasses to 114-9 but slumped spectacularly in their reply after their openers got them off to a solid start.
From 73-0 in the 12th over, South Africa folded for 101 in 19.2 overs, with Mohammed leading the rout.
She got good support from Guyanese 17-year-old leg-spinner Shamaine Campbell who took 2-18 from 19 overs to follow up her fine work with the ball in the previous game. Yesterday she bowled medium pace.
Guyanese pacer Tremaine Smartt was run out for 7 batting at number 10, just ahead of Campbell.
Shandre Fritz and Trisha Chetty added 31 in the Powerplay, hitting just one four, but opened up in the eighth over for the hosts. A six by Fritz raised the team 50 in 51 balls, but her exit for a 35-ball 42 opened the sluice gates. Mohammed immediately got Chetty (31 from 39) chipping to mid-off. In her second over, the 15th of the innings, she dismissed Mignon du Preez and Kirstie Thomson off successive deliveries to leave South Africa on 84-4.
After 15 overs, South Africa needed 30 to win. Campbell got rid of Alicia Smith with her first ball and in the 18th over the hosts lost two more wickets.
A terrible mix-up after Captain Sunette Loubser’s run out was followed by the demise of Charlize van der Westhuizen.
Mohammed nipped out two more wickets in her final over to complete a superb outing.
South Africa wouldn’t have anticipated such a dramatic collapse after excelling in the field and Smith and Kilowan led the bowling honours with two apiece.
Cordel Jack’s 41 from 43 deliveries – she was particularly impressive driving straight and cutting square on the off side – was the best score of the West Indies innings.
