From that moment forth, the points kept flowing for the Proteas.

Ine-Mari Venter, who was the player of the match against Wales on Friday, was replaced by Nichole Taljaard, who seems to be just as red-hot. In the first quarter, van der Berg and Taljaard’s axis performed admirably to form the basis of the Proteas game.

In just 15 minutes, South Africa sprinted out to a 15-goal advantage. The Proteas were unstoppable, putting Sri Lanka firmly on the back foot with their interceptions and deft passing.

Coach Plummer made adjustments in the second half, much like she did against the Welsh on Friday.

Irvette Grisel was replaced at centre by Chanyisa Chawane, and captain Msomi was also benched. In addition, when Karla Pretorius replaced Shadine van der Merwe, she earned her 100th cap for the Proteas.

South African supporters remained loud as the third quarter’s finish drew near as their team continued to dominate the game.
