South Africa Women dominated the opening T20I against West Indies Women at the Three Ws Oval in Bridgetown, securing a convincing 50-run win.

The Proteas posted a formidable total of 183/6, largely thanks to a brilliant innings from Tazmin Brits, who scored 98 runs off 63 balls. Brits' knock was the backbone of South Africa's strong batting performance, setting a challenging target for the hosts.

West Indies' chase faltered early as they lost five wickets for just 49 runs, including the dismissal of their influential captain, Hayley Matthews. This early collapse put the Windies on the back foot.

Chinelle Henry attempted to stabilize the innings with a patient 26 runs off 32 balls, but the deficit was too large to overcome.

The victory marked a strong start for South Africa in the T20I series, showcasing their batting depth and bowling discipline. The Proteas had previously clinched the ODI series 2-1, highlighted by a dominant 166-run win in the final match.

“Tazmin Brits’ innings was crucial in setting the tone for the match,” a cricket analyst noted, emphasizing her impact.

This win sets the stage for a competitive series as both teams look to assert dominance in the Caribbean conditions.
