Captain Hayley Matthews and Shabika Gajnabi stitched together 61-run partnership but it took 53-balls to achieve. Gajnabi off the first ball of the final over for 33 with Matthews following two balls later for a top score of 34.
Tumi Sekhukhune was the best of the South African bowlers with 2-24. Nonkululeko Mlaba returned miserly figures of 1-7 from her four overs.
