Proteas

A half-century by Suné Luus and forties from Dané van Niekerk and Laura Wolvaardt set up victory by 40 runs for the Proteas in the opening match of the ICC Women’s Championship ODI series at Kensington Oval on Sunday 16 September. The second ODI was rained out on Wednesday, setting up a winner-take-all ODI for Friday.

Springboks

After their historic victory over New Zealand last week, the Springboks will enjoy a week off in preparation for their next Castle Lager Rugby Championship encounter with Australia in Port Elizabeth on Saturday 29 September. The Springboks emerged 34-36 victors, after an intense defensive performance, against the All Blacks in Wellington for the first time since 1998.
