Australia won the first game by eight wickets, with Beth Mooney and Alyssa Healy coming up with their blazing knocks of (72*) and (56) respectively, to take early 1-0 lead in the series. 

South Africa, on the other hand, witnessed an eye-catching performance from Tazmin Brits slamming 59-run knock unbeaten, however, her knock couldn’t lead the team to victory with other players failing to lead their attack.
