    What's the story

    South Africa opened their ICC Women's World Cup campaign with a thrilling victory over Bangladesh at the University Oval, Dunedin.

    They successfully defended 207 after bowling out Bangladesh on 175.

    Medium-pacer Ayabonga Khaka stood out, taking four wickets.

    Earlier, South Africa faced a batting collapse as they were rolled over in the 50th over.

    Here are the key records.

    Match

    How did the match pan out?

    South Africa had a steady start after Bangladesh elected to field.

    Laura Wolvaardt scored a defiant 41 even though she fell short of partners.

    None of the middle-order batters could capitalize upon their starts.

    Marizanne Kapp was SA's top scorer in the innings (42 off 45).

    SA crawled their way to 207.

    Bangladesh were 69/0 in the run-chase, but Khaka destroyed their batting order.
