After defeating Madagascar, SA's Female Proteas to take on Mauritius and Ghana.


Neisha (Rose) Khan lead the female Protea Esports Team for MLBB to a stunning victory in the test match against Mauritius.

In preparation for IESF's WEC25 the South African Female Protea Team for the Mobile Legends Bang Bang Esports title will also take on Mauritius and Ghana.

Having played against Madagascar on Thursday, 1 May 2025 at 20H30, the South African Female Protea Team trounced Mauritius 2 - 0. As usual the team worked as a tight unit commanded by the very able Neisha (Rose) Khan. Neisha marshalled her team with the skill and confidence of an ancient general as the Protea team prepared for battle. The team responded in kind and gave the battle their all.

It is not, therefore surprising that Neisha earned the title of MVP in the game and comrade in arms, Rowell (Ketsuka) Pillay, earned the title of MVP in the second game of the test match.

Rose is no wilting bloom - the result of SA vs Mauritius.

Neisha (Rose) Khan demonstrated her sterling leadership capabilities as she lead the female Protea Esports Team for MLBB to a spectacular victory over Mauritius.

Like a lovely flower blooming sweetly at night, Neisha (Rose) Khan - Captain of the South African female Protea Team for the Mobile Legends Bang Bang  Esports Team, had an unmistakable presence at the IESF Test Match between South Africa and Mauritius on 29 March 2025.

Neisha marshalled her team with the skill and confidence of ancient warriors as the Protea team prepared for battle.

All were apprehensive about the Test Match as the Mauritian team is highly respected and feared by many. 

The Test Match saw Neisha's debut as captaining the Protea Team which had been totally overhauled from previous years and consisted of an entirely new team.

The full team is:

  • Ranya Sujee
  • Neisha Ann Khan (Captain)
  • Rashmika Nanakan
  • Rowell Pillay
  • Shanel Arunachellam
The Test Match consisted of two matches.

In the first match, the Protea Team struck early and struck hard and quickly put the Mauritians on the back foot. As much as the Mauritians tried, the Proteas (under Neisha's proficient leadership) kept up steady pressure which saw the Mauritian team crumble and accept defeat.

In the second match, it was clear from the Mauritian draft, that the Mauritians were not to go down without a fight.

Nevertheless, the Protea Team, worked as a unit, unified in purpose, and outmanoeuvred the Mauritians at every  level of the game. Neisha's forces dominated at both tactical and strategic levels, forcing the Mauritians to take losses and preventing them from having any gains.

As Neisha succinctly states, "It's a team game, and every member is vital to the success of the team".
