South Africa claimed a second win of the tournament with a dominant 10-wicket win over Samoa in Sarawak. Samoa were not given a gentle introduction to World Cup cricket having been put into bat, as Norah Jade Salima was dismissed first ball.
South Africa shared the wickets between them with Nthabiseng Nini claimed three for four while Seshnie Naidu did not concede a run from her two overs as the leg-spinner also took two wickets.
Samoa were bowled out for 16 in the 10th over, and South Africa needed just 10 balls to chase the modest total down as both Simone Lourens and Jemma Botha scored six runs.
