Photo: Cricket South Africa Image: Cricket South Africa Recently appointed Proteas Women coach Mandla Mashimbyi was chuffed with his team's performance in the Caribbean, after defeating the West Indies 2-1 in an ODI series on Tuesday night. The Proteas thrashed the home side by 166 runs via the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method after various deluges of rain throughout the evening had interrupted the game. Mashimbyi said the SA team did well to come back after losing the first encounter by four wickets, and had shown real improvement in their bowling, which lacked discipline in some of their games, according to some of the players. 'I'm excited for the girls. In the last few months, they've put in the work, so to come to the West Indies and win a series is a really good thing for them,' Mashimbyi said. 'To come here and put in the performances we've seen, and we still feel we are not where we need to be... and they understand that. 'I'm just happy that they are trying to put things together, but winning at the same time.' Video Player is loading.

Next Stay Close ✕ The batting is an area of expertise that the ladies have thrived in over recent tours, putting up 300 runs on more than one occasion last month in Columbo, Sri Lanka, during the tri-series. This time round, in the West Indies, the Proteas looked deadly with the bat again – with opening batters Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits doing most of the damage during this ODI series. Brits scored a century on Tuesday night with a polished 101, alongside Wolvaardt's 75 to help the Proteas reach 278 in 45.5 overs – a score they successfully defended. There were also stand-out performances in the previous match, with Nondumiso Shangase scoring an 'emotional' half-century. The win was a milestone triumph for coach Mashimbyi as well, as it was his first tour of the West Indies as the head coach of the Proteas Women. Looking ahead to the World Cup in September, which will be played in India, Mashimbyi said the past two tours have given them an opportunity to find their rhythm and order when it comes to the batting line-up, even citing their own 'Bomb Squad' of sorts. Nondumiso Shangase was emotional after hitting a half-century for the Proteas Women against the West Indies. Photo: Cricket South Africa Image: Cricket South Africa 'In terms of our batting order, it's about where you can get maximum impact from each player,' Mashimbyi said. 'It's not necessarily numbers, but where the player can actually put the team in a good position to win matches and that's how we look at it. 'We have tried a couple of combinations, but I was happy with what I've seen. 'Nondi's (Shangase) 50 was nice to see, and batting at three. You've got Dercky, who can bat anywhere in the order, but we know she can have more of an impact batting lower in the order.

England need 246 to claim ODI series clean sweep against West Indies
England need 246 to claim a 3-0 clean sweep of the West Indies in the Metro Bank one-day international series following fifties from Sherfane Rutherford and Gudakesh Motie in a reduced contest. After arriving to the ground late for the third ODI at the Kia Oval because of heavy traffic in the area, the Windies fell to 28 for three and then 154 for seven, with Adil Rashid taking three wickets. Rutherford had missed the Windies' defeats at Edgbaston and Sophia Gardens after deciding to stay at the Indian Premier League but he provided some much-needed ballast following their top-order failure. After his dismissal for 70 off 71 balls, Motie (63) took the baton alongside Alzarri Joseph (41) in a blistering 91-run stand off 68 deliveries to lift the Windies to 251 for nine – with England needing five runs fewer on Duckworth-Lewis-Stern. A combination of a couple of broken down buses, a traffic lights failure and roadworks over a River Thames bridge contributed to the Windies' tardiness from their hotel three-and-a-half miles away, which – along with a 95-minute rain delay in their innings – led to a shortened 40-over game. The tourists' practice time was shortened as play got under way half-an-hour after the scheduled start and they were quickly three down in next to no time as Evin Lewis, who was back following a groin injury, and fellow opener Brandon King miscued to catchers in the ring. When captain Shai Hope was bounced out by Saqib Mahmood for the second time in the series, it seemed they could vanish without trace. Rutherford led the recovery well, finding some fluency through the off-side while he was strong off his hips and put on 62 with Keacy Carty, before the Cardiff centurion perished for 29 shortly after the rain break when chopping on off Rashid, who then claimed two in two balls. Justin Greaves was caught well low down by Ben Duckett, who put down two catches at Cardiff, while Roston Chase hung out his bat to his first ball and nicked to Joe Root, who also spilled a catch last time out. Number eight batter Motie smoked Rashid's hat-trick ball for six but Rutherford departed when pulling Brydon Carse to Harry Brook, who took an excellent chance diving to his right at mid-on. Hands, Harry 👏 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) June 3, 2025 England's hopes of a quick finish to the innings were dashed by Motie and Joseph, though, with the lower-order pair feasting on some wayward bowling, with the hosts guilty of overusing the short ball. Mahmood then Carse were both pulled into the stands by Motie, while Will Jacks was taken to task by number 10 Joseph, who top-edged to Matthew Potts at short third to end a buccaneering union.
