South Africa Women 1/0 in 0.4 overs | England vs. South Africa Women’s T20 World Cup Semi-Final Live Scores: Final to be played at The Oval
Experienced heads save England – After losing the toss, South Africa struck the first blow in this semi-final through Marizanne Kappa and Shabnim Ismail. If it was the Proteas’ experienced pace pair who dominated the opening innings, England’s senior duo had the perfect response. Reduced to 23/3, Nat Sciver-Brunt and Heather Knight combined to rebuild the innings. The pair grew in trust as the partnership blossomed. Sciver-Brunt returned after missing several games with a calf injury, a stand-up aggressor with 133 runs, shifting gears brilliantly while Knight played an ideal supporting role. With Kapp’s quota completed in the first 7 overs and Ismail keeping just one over for later, the rest of the South African attack looked without answers.
