New Zealand Women vs South Africa Women – 7th Match,

New Zealand Women vs South Africa Women  7th Match, ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 Starting Scene – Pressure Dono Pe Tha Yeh game ekdum do-or-die vibe leke aaya tha. Dono teams already ek-ek defeat se pareshaan thi. South Africa apna last match haar ke aayi thi, toh naturally thoda low feel tha. New Zealand bhi abhi tak apna rhythm nahi pakad paayi thi. Toss ke waqt hi body language bata raha tha ki tension high hai. Aur waise bhi World Cup me early losses kaafi mehnga padte hain. Yahi wajah thi ki ye match sirf points table ka nahi, mindset ka bhi tha. Aur South Africa ne clearly dikhaya ki woh apna plan lekar aayi thi. 231 ka target chase karke 40.5 overs me 234 for 4 bana diye. 6 wicket se jeet, comfortable aur ekdum confident. Hero Tazmin Brits ki century aur Sune Luus ka anchor role. New Zealand’s Innings  Solid Buildup, But Poor Finish NZ ki shuruat hi weak thi. Suzie Bates jaise experienced player golden duck pe nikal gayi. Usi waqt laga ki team pressure me hai. Georgia Plimmer ne 31 banake innings ko thoda stable kiya, Amelia Kerr ne bhi 23 runs add kiye. Lekin asli energy tab aayi jab Sophie Devine ne crease sambhali. Devine ka 85 (98 balls) innings ek masterclass tha. Aggression aur control dono. Unhone Brooke Halliday ke saath 45 (37 balls) ki partnership build ki jo innings ko momentum de gayi. Laga ki ab team 250–260 tak pohoch jaayegi. Phir aayi collapse story. 220/5 se seedha 231 all out in 47.5 overs. Tail bilkul resist nahi kar payi. South Africa ki spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba ne game ka pura flow tod diya. 4 wickets li aur sabse crucial breakthroughs diye. Jab lag raha tha ki NZ 250 upar jaayegi, Mlaba ne unko 231 pe rok diya. South Africa’s Chase – Cool Head, Smart Cricket Chasing 231 thoda tricky hota hai, par South Africa ne ekdum calm aur smart approach rakhi. Laura Wolvaardt jaldi out ho gayi thi, but uske baad panic zero. Tazmin Brits ne responsibility li aur ek outstanding 101 off 89 balls kheli. Aggression bhi tha, timing bhi, aur smart singles bhi. Unke saath thi Sune Luus jinhone ek patient aur mature knock kheli — 83 not out off 114 balls. Dono ke beech 159 runs ki badi partnership bani jo NZ ke bowlers ke liye nightmare thi. Har baar jab lagta tha pressure banega, koi na koi boundary aa jaati. Brits ke out hone tak game already South Africa ke pocket me tha. Baaki ka kaam easy tha. 40.5 overs me match finish kar diya. 9 overs bache hue the – matlab ekdum domination. Match ke Turning Points Suzie Bates ka golden duck start me hi NZ ko pressure me daal gaya. Sophie Devine aur Halliday ki partnership ne hopes jagayi, par Devine ke out hote hi collapse aa gaya. Mlaba ki 4-wicket spell – har important moment pe unhone damage kiya. Brits aur Luus ki 159-run stand – game ka asli knockout punch. Why This Win Matters South Africa ke liye yeh jeet ek statement hai. Haar ke baad bounce back karna easy nahi hota, lekin unhone dikhaya ki team me balance hai. Batting depth strong hai, bowling me bite hai, aur confidence wapas aa gaya. New Zealand ke liye situation thoda kharab hai. Do straight losses means semis ka raasta mushkil ho sakta hai. Unka batting collapse aur bowling me killer instinct ki kami clear ho gayi. Agar yeh jaldi fix nahi kiya toh tournament slip ho sakta hai. Final Thoughts Ye match runs-wickets ka nahi, mindset aur maturity ka tha. South Africa ne calmness aur clarity ke saath chase finish kiya. Brits ki class century, Luus ka maturity-filled knock aur Mlaba ki spin magic – sabne milke ek complete performance diya. New Zealand ke liye clear lesson hai: partnerships aur consistency hi World Cup jeetne ka base hai. Abhi bhi tournament lamba hai, toh comeback possible hai, lekin ab har game must-win jaisa lag raha hai. Filhaal toh credit 100% South Africa ko jaata hai. Smart cricket, clean execution aur ek solid jeet jisne unka campaign revive kar diya.
