• SL Women field first as Tunnicliffe makes ODI debut

    Proteas Women’s wicketkeeper-batter Faye Tunnicliffe will make her ODI debut during the first fixture of the three-match series against Sri Lanka Women at Senwes Park on Monday.

    The Islanders won the toss and elected to field first in a rain-delayed encounter that has been reduced to 48-overs a side due to morning showers in Potchefstroom.
