The unbeaten side now leads with seven wins from seven matches, sitting on 31 points and maintaining a healthy advantage over second-placed DP World Lions Women, who also secured a crucial victory to keep the pressure on at the top of the table.
Western Province Women extended their flawless run with a 10-run victory (DLS method) over Fidelity Titans Ladies in a rain-reduced encounter at SuperSport Park.

Western Province were also disciplined with the ball, with Nosipho Vezi returning impressive figures of 2/18, supported by economical spells from Miya Lalor and Tucker.
The victory preserved Western Province’s unbeaten record and kept them firmly in control of the standings heading into the decisive phase of the competition.

In reply, the Lions reached 95/6 with four balls to spare thanks largely to a composed half-century from Sunette Viljoen-Louw, who anchored the chase with 53 off 48 deliveries.
Raisibe Ntozakhe (8) and Fay Cowling (7*) played supporting roles to guide their side home.
The Lions bowling unit applied consistent pressure, with Ntozakhe leading the way with 2/15, while Relebohile Mkhize and Sarah Nettleton chipped in with a wicket apiece.

The All Blacks are one of the most successful teams in sporting history – The New Zealand All Blacks are one of the most successful teams in sporting history. Since 1903 when they played their first ever game, they have a win percentage of 78% in nearly 600 games. That stat is absolutely crazy when you think about it. They’ve also won 3 Rugby World Cups (though arguably should have won all of them apart from 1991 and 2003). They were also the first rugby team to win 500 test matches, one of many records establishing the All Blacks the world’s best team. Can you imagine winning 78% of all your games you play!?
