The women’s team of South Africa made a grand entry into the ICC Women’s World Cup final for the first time with a huge victory of 125 runs over England at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Wednesday.
The match was an overall performance by the team, with Laura Wolvaardt’s 169 and Marizanne Kapp’s five-wicket haul as the major credit, which helped South Africa to eliminate the defending champions and to claim a historic seat in the title match.
South Africa, after winning the toss and opting to bat first, scored a massive 319 runs for the fall of seven wickets and later their bowlers also delivered a spectacular performance to restrict the opponents to only 194 runs in 42.3 overs.
This victory was the first ever knockout win for South Africa in World Cup history and it may open the door to their first ever ICC title. Their next task will be just waiting to find out who their final opponent is between India and Australia on Thursday, as they will face the winner of semi-final 2.
