In match number four of Women’s Super League 3.0, Thistles will take on the Duchesses at the Newlands in Cape Town. While Thistles won their first game, Duchesses suffered a narrow loss.
Thistles started off with a win as they defended 100 against Starlights. Barring Anne Bosch's match-winning 52 off 45 balls, the Thistles batting line-up failed to get a big score.
However, their bowling was top-notch and none of the bowlers conceded more than 5.50 runs an over. And all of them chipped in well. Thus, Tumi Sekhukhune and her brigade will look to get better and build on this start.
On the other hand, Duchesses failed to chase down 133. They fell six runs short against Coronations. Duchesses looked on course for a win as they needed 40 off the last five overs. Despite having wickets in hand, they couldn’t get across the finish line. The Sune Luus-led side will look to get back on track.

Pitch Report
The pitch at the Newlands in Cape Town had something in it for the bowlers. They could dictate terms and the scores weren’t huge on the first day. The two games played on the first day saw the teams batting first, score 100 and 132. Thus, more of the same can be expected for this game, and a sporting track is likely to be in store.
