  "account": "Anneke Bosch has returned to the Proteas squad after missing the Women’s T20 World Cup earlier this year. The 33-year-old Essex player scored 188 runs in six games during the Women’s T20 Blast league in the UK, including an unbeaten half-century. With several first-choice players rested for South Africa's first tour of Zimbabwe, Bosch earned a recall. During the opening game of the five-match T20 series against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo, Bosch scored 83 runs off 43 balls and earned the Player of the Match award in the second fixture. She emphasized the importance of staying calm and sticking to the basics, stating that her mindset is key to her success. The Proteas aim to take a commanding 3-0 lead in the series when they face Zimbabwe for the third time in Bulawayo on Tuesday.",
