Diksha (71-73) and Pranavi (70-77) at the Par-73 Modderfontein Golf Club saw them positioned at T-22 and T-56 respectively.

Things didn't turn out too well for the other two Indians, Avani Prashanth (77-74) and Tvesa Malik (77-79) and they missed the cut.

After the suspension of round two, like it happened a day earlier, the Joburg Ladies Open resumed at a later start time.

It was a wet week after heavy rainfall and a flooded course caused the tournament to be reduced to 54-holes.

England바카라™s Mimi Rhodes leads the way having completed the second round over two days.

The rookie started the day five holes in, with Saturday seeing a bogey-free day, with a further four birdies rolling in, taking her round two score to 12-under par.

For Pranavi, it has been a strange week. When play was first suspended on the first day she was 5-under through 13 holes, but when play resumed the following day she added a birdie to go 6-under.

Then there was reversal of fortunes as she had three bogeys in a row and ended with a round of 70.

In the second round, she had birdies and a triple bogey in an action-packed up-and-down round. She carded 77 but made the cut on the line.

Diksha had a bogey free first round with 2 birdies and no bogeys.

In the second round she had one birdie and two bogeys on the front nine and then eight straight pars before closing the round with a birdie on the 18th for an even par round. She was T-22.

If Rhodes wins, this will make back-to-back wins for the 23-year-old, having won her maiden LET win at the Ford Women바카라™s NSW Open in Australia two weeks ago.

Only one-shot back is South Africa바카라™s Casandra Alexander at nine under par and she sits on T2 alongside Ireland바카라™s Lauren Walsh.

Sitting two shots back is rookie Kajsa Arwefjall, who also had a great front nine, with five birdies, carding seven-under par.

After 36 holes of action following a week of uncertainty in Johannesburg, 64 players made the cut which fell at one-over-par.
