Ellis defends earlier choices as Banyana charge into quarters in style

Banyana Banyana put out a loud message in Morocco on Monday night, signalling they won't give up their Women's Africa Cup of Nations title without a fight. The South Africans reached the quarterfinals in emphatic fashion with a 4-0 thrashing of Mali in their final Group C match at Stade d'Honneur in Oujda, via goals by Lebohang Ramalepe (fifth minute), captain Refiloe Jane (32nd), Hildah Magaia (61st) and substitute Ronnel Donnelly (79th). They meet Senegal, who ended third in Group A, in Saturday's quarterfinal at Stade d'Honneur (9pm SA time). Banyana gain an advantage not just from the momentum provided by their big win against Mali and topping Group C with seven points, but also by remaining at the same venue where they played their round robin games. Senegal played two games in Mohammedia and one in Rabat. Banyana coach Desiree Ellis corrected the mistakes she made in the second match against Tanzania, where she made four changes that killed the rhythm of her team from a decent start with a 2-0 win against Ghana, resulting in a disappointing 1-1 draw. She responded to criticism of those decisions saying she does not 'need to justify' her choices.

All-round effort carries Proteas to victory in T20 tri-series opener

The SA team chased down their target with more than four overs to spare. Shining with bat and ball, South Africa coasted to a five-wicket victory over Zimbabwe in the opening match of the T20 International tri-series in Harare on Monday. Set a target of 142 runs to win, the Proteas lost three wickets within the first six overs of their chase, but they were stabilised by a solid partnership between debutant Rubin Hermann and 22-year-old Dewald Brevis. The duo shared 72 runs for the fourth wicket, keeping the SA team in the driving seat, before Brevis was removed in the 12th over. Brevis smashed 41 runs off just 17 balls in an innings which featured five sixes. After he fell, Hermann was then dismissed for 45 off 37 when seamer Richard Ngarava flattened his off-stump a few overs later. They had done enough, however, to take the pressure off the middle-order as they cruised to victory with 25 balls to spare. Zimbabwe innings Earlier, after being sent in to bat, Zimbabwe's top order were pinned back by frontline bowlers Lungi Ngidi and Nandre Burger during the powerplay, and they found themselves struggling at 39/2 in the eighth over. Veteran skipper Sikandar Raza anchored a recovery, however, as the hosts managed to compose themselves and launch a fight in the second half of their innings. Raza top-scored for his team with an unbeaten 54 off 38, racking up his 15th T20 International century as he carried his team to 141/6. Proteas spinner George Linde took 3/10 and was superb at the death, taking two wickets for just four runs in the last over. South Africa will face New Zealand in their next match of the tri-series in Harare tomorrow (1pm start).
