DRINKS BREAK. The scoring might not be THAT quick from Bangladesh, but nothing in the wicket column will surely make the Proteas feel frustrated now. Fargana Hoque and Rubya Haider have taken all the time in the world to settle, and there has been an evident punctuation of strike rotation from both post Powerplay. But still, nothing extravagant, as most of their shots have been along the ground. South Africa Women will be aiming to break this opening partnership as quickly as possible, but for that, they need to be charged up on the field. It has been quiet from their end as well, with a few fielding errors. Nadine De Klerk (3-0-11-0) to continue after the break.
