BAN Women vs SA Women, 16th Match, Group B at Dubai, Women's T20 World Cup, Oct 12 2024 - Match Result

That's it from us. We, like, the South Africa team, will be watching those Net Run Rates calculations closely over the next few. Take it easy folks. We'll catch you tomorrow.

South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt: "The way we started with the ball was amazing. Would have loved to chase it down faster and that was a message that went out, but we didn't get there. With the extras that's two extra overs we had to bowl as well as the runs we gave away. Kappy makes such a big impact whether with bat or ball. Her economy rate today was incredible."

Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana: "We didn't get much runs in the powerplay. I was struggling as well. On this kind of surface, it was difficult and we played too many dot balls. There are many players in my team who are young and playing their first World Cup. Rabeya bowled really well in the last few matches. So did Marufa. I'm really happy for Mostary, because she's been consistent for the team. Fahima has also been a brilliant bowler. There's a lot of intent and emotion there. In this kind of tournament you have to be mentally strong. A lot of people came to support us, and it felt like we were at home. Although we couldn't do well, there was unconditional love."

Raji: "So South Africa needs to sit back and root for England to beat West Indies. That's tough, especially since they have to wait until Tuesday!" Yep. Not usual that a team (England) has two matches when others in the group have finished all theirs. South Africa's NRR is now at 1.382, which is better than England's, but worse than West Indies.

Tazmin Brits is Player of the Match: "I thought we had an ok powerplay. I'm never satisfied with what I'm doing, but it was a pretty difficult wicket out there and I am proud of myself. To force a few runs with no speed on the ball, I had to invent a few shots I didn't have."

So not quite a furious finish to these teams' Group Stages. Bangladesh are out of the tournament for sure, but South Africa have to wait and watch. If West Indies beat England, then three teams will likely be on six points (the assumption being that England will beat Scotland), and the two with the better Net Run Rates progress to the semi final.

In any case,this has been a stodgy game on a sticky track.

Jay Deshpande: "If only BD showed more intent, then they would have had 10-15 runs more to work with, and this game would have been much tighter. " Agree - but its been tough going for SA too.
