K Kavindi to M Kapp
Kapp finishes things off in style!! A boundary to end the game and the Proteas are 1-0 ahead in the 3 match series with the decider to come. Kavindi bowls a good length delivery at the middle and leg stump. Kapp swivels and pulls it through the deep square leg fielder's left to get a boundary. She hugs Laura Wolvaardt in delight and it's the Kapp-Wolvaardt duo who did a magnificient work to chase down the runs.
