Lee powers Momentum Proteas past India
A career-best century by Lizelle Lee powered the Momentum Proteas to a six-run win on the Duckworth/Lewis Method against India in the third One-Day International at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Friday.
The right-hander struck two sixes and 16 fours in an unbeaten 132 off 131 balls – her third career ton and the third highest individual score by a South African in 50-over cricket – helping her side reach 223 for four when the players were forced off due to rain.
The tourists were chasing 249 for victory and they stayed ahead of the rate most of the way thanks to the brilliance of Lee, who was aided mainly by Mignon du Preez’s attacking 37.
That innings by the opener, the highest score by a South African against India, put Hilton Moreeng’s team 2-1 up in the five-match series.
Match four takes place on Sunday.
