A fast start from South Africa’s openers gave the Proteas hope that it would be they who would win their first title, but a flurry of wickets saw the game slip away.
A dramatic double-wicket over from Kerr saw Laura Wolvaardt (33) and Anneke Bosch (9) depart in quick succession, leaving South Africa needing something special from their middle order.
But wickets kept tumbling, with Rosemary Mair in the thick of the action with her 3/25, as the run rate went from high to unattainable.
The result had long been determined before Eden Carson sent down the final ball of the tournament, as South Africa finished on 126/9, still 32 runs short.
