"We are very happy when we look at how she juggles her bowling, batting and lead the troops - it's not always easy," said Moreeng.
"She's making sure we are hitting our strides and her leadership shone through today. She controlled the bowlers in the heat and made sure we were able to do the job as required at the end of the day."
