Proteas women fall to India to miss out on Tri-Series final
The Proteas women were knocked out of the ODI Tri-Series following a 23-run loss against India in Colombo on Wednesday. Chasing a commanding 338 runs to win, the Proteas struggled without star opening batter and captain Laura Wolvaardt, who missed out due to illness. After the early loss of Lara Goodall (4) before a much-needed 63-run stand between Tazmin Brits (26) and debutant Miane Smit (39). All-rounder Annerie Dercksen brought up her maiden ODI half-century as she made a solid 81 off 80 balls before she was bowled by Amanjot Kaur (3/59). The Proteas' middle-order put on a courageous display with the bat as Nondumiso Shangase (36), Sinalo Jafta (21) and Nadine de Klerk (22*) made some handy contributions. However, the task seemed too tall for South Africa despite stand-in skipper Chloe Tryon finding form. Tryon smashed five sixes and four boundaries to score 67 off 43 balls but fell in the final over and put an abrupt end to South Africa's chances. 🚨 MATCH RESULT 🚨 An outstanding fight from the Proteas Women in this thrilling run chase! 🏏🔥 A phenomenal display of skill and determination to stay in contention in the Tri-Nations Series 🏆.

Earlier on, a century by Jemimah Rodrigues took the game away from the Proteas after South Africa won the toss and sent them in to bat first. Jemimah Rodrigues was in sublime form, sharing a 88-run stand with opener Smriti Mandhana (51) and Deepti Sharma (93). Rodrigues brought up her maiden ODI century as she scored 123 off 101 balls (hitting 15 fours and a six) before she was caught off Masabata Klaas (2/51).

Despite the loss, the Proteas will play their final ODI against hosts Sri Lanka on Friday in Colombo (06:30 SA time). This means, Sri Lanka will now host India in Sunday's final. India 337-9 in 50 (Rodrigues 123, Deepti 93, Klaas 2/51, De Klerk 2/54) South Africa 314-7 in 50 (Dercksen 81, Tryon 67, Amanjot 3/59, Deepti 2/57)

Boag sets sights on VFL after star Tassie showing
Don't miss out on the headlines from Sport. Followed categories will be added to My News. His first crack at the VFL was ruined by Covid, but Bailey Boag has set his sights on being part of Tasmania's first team after Sunday's star showing against Sandringham. Boag, a four-time Baldock medallist as the NWFL's player of the year, was a standout in the midfield in the 38-point win at UTAS Stadium. Tasmania's first win of the representative season was the perfect 26th birthday gift for Baldock, whose work rate was relentless against the Zebras. Boag played a couple of VFL games with North Melbourne in 2021 before the season was canned due to Covid after just six matches. But he's keen to pitch a claim for Tasmania's team, with the rep games giving officials a chance to cast their eye over prospective talent before they enter the league next year. '100 per cent (it's a goal),' the Burnie on-baller said. 'I had an opportunity with North Melbourne a couple of years ago in the Covid year. I played two games with them, and probably didn't have the full opportunity I thought I would. 'I want to test myself as much as I can at the next level. I'd like to put my best foot forward and be a part of that (Tasmania team), it'd be something pretty cool. 'I've got a bit more footy IQ now (since the Roos stint) and filled out a bit, not that there's much of me currently. 'These (rep matches) are the games you want to be a part of. I guess tht's why they've set these five games up this year, to see where we're at and shorten that gap to that (VFL) competition.' Tasmania's five-strong north-west contingent were all influential against Sandringham. Wynyard's Josh Wolfe booted two goals on debut while Devonport trio Keegan Lowe, Harry Elmer and Kai Cameron all played important roles. 'The more north west the better,' Boag said. 'In previous years we've probably had limited opportunities, we had a few today and hopefully we can start to get more. 'It's purely off the back of a bit more opportunity, having a regional academy over there.' After playing State League with Burnie in 2017, Boag has fielded overtures to return to the competition from other sides, but felt at home at the Dockers. 'I've been pretty lucky to play in some good teams over the years, and played with some really good players which probably fast tracked my footy in the early days,' Boag said. 'It gave me the confidence to rock up and play my role. 'I did think about it (returning to TSL) but I had an apprenticeship too. The other thing is I've grown up in Burnie my whole life and have strong family ties there. 'I played one year in 2017 then went back and lucky enough we won three in a row. I was happy where I was. 'It (NWFL) is probably the most even it's ever been. But we're still chasing North and Launnie, they're fresh out of state league and have the higher calibre players. 'I know we're pretty excited coming into the Tri Series (against south and north regions) to see where we're at and see where we have to go to work.'
