The degree of difficulty all other batters faced due to the slowness of the track made Tryon's innings particularly impressive. Despite South Africa being reduced to 47 for 4 and then 66 for 5 at the start of the 14th over, Indian spinners Deepti Sharma, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, and Sneh Rana valiantly attempted to counterbalance Harleen Deol's confounding batting approach. Nonkululeko Mlaba (2/16 in 4 overs) of South Africa was brilliant in the Powerplay. South Africa bowled a total of 25 dot balls, limiting India to a meager 19 runs in the six powerplay overs. This impressive display of bowling prowess from the South African side stifled India's offense, leaving them with a difficult task ahead.
