West Indies Win Historic T20I Series Over South Africa

The West Indies Women's cricket team secured a 2-1 T20I series victory over South Africa, their first bilateral series win against South Africa in 12 years. South Africa won the first match by 50 runs, driven by Tazmin Brits' unbeaten 98. The West Indies responded with two consecutive wins, led by captain Hayley Matthews' consistent all-round performances and back-to-back half-centuries, including a decisive 65 in the final match. Matthews was named Player of the Series for her efforts. South Africa's Miane Smit scored a maiden T20I fifty in the series decider, but the West Indies successfully chased a target of 148 with key partnerships. The series highlighted strong performances and emerging talents from both teams.
