Charlie Dean Secures Hat-Trick in ODI Win

Charlie Dean made cricket history by becoming the third English woman to take a hat-trick in ODIs during the second match against South Africa, leading England to a six-wicket victory and leveling the series at 1-1. Achieving the hat-trick, Dean dismissed Marizanne Kapp, Nadine de Klerk, and Sinalo Jafta, contributing to South Africa's collapse from 72 for 2 to 76 for 7. Dean finished with impressive bowling figures of 4 for 45 as South Africa was all out for 135 in 31.3 overs. England's successful chase was anchored by an opening partnership of 69 runs between Tammy Beaumont and Maia Bouchier, with Danni Wyatt-Hodge scoring an unbeaten 25 to secure the win. Dean's achievement marks the first hat-trick for England in women's ODIs since Clare Connor in 1999. The decider of the series will take place on Wednesday in Potchefstroom.
