Mar 10, 2009
Australia recorded their first win of the women's cricket World Cup with a 61-run victory over South Africa in Newcastle.
Batting first after winning the toss, Australia made 4-258 with captain Karen Rolton scoring 96 not out and opener Shelley Nitschke 87. South Africa started well in reply, reaching 1-91 in the 25th over, but they lost wickets at regular intervals as they fought a losing battle to get near the required run rate.
The visitors were ultimately bowled out for 196 with three balls remaining. All-rounder Nitschke supplemented her batting contribution by taking 3-43 with the ball.
