South Africa Women ended their two-game losing streak with a win in the second T20I. The result meant the ongoing three-match T20 series is tied at 1-1.
In the second match, Ireland opted to bat first and were restricted to 106/7 in 20 overs. Nadine de Klerk and Tumi Sekhukhune grabbed two wickets each for SA-W while Gaby Lewis was the top run-getter for her team with 31 runs off 29 balls.
When it was their turn to bat, South Africa Women rode on Lara Goodall’s emphatic half-century (52 runs in 40 balls) to chase the target in just 15 overs. Goodall was well supported by Anneke Bosch’s unbeaten cameo of 32 runs as SA-W posted a match-winning score of 107/2.
With the eight-wicket loss, Ireland Women saw their three-game winning run come to an end.

South Africa Women will start as favourites on Wednesday given their overall advantage in the head-to-head record.
