South Africa have passed their biggest test of the Women's Cricket World Cup in New Zealand so far, beating defending champions England in a thrilling final over clash in Mount Maunganui on Monday morning. | Sport24news
There was somewhat of a surprise at the toss when the Proteas, unchanged from their win over Pakistan on Friday, opted to bowl first.
England recovered with a superb 107-run partnership for the fourth wicket between Tammy Beaumont and Amy Jones . In Ismail's absence, Kapp stepped up, coming back strong for her spell at the back-end of the innings to finish with figures of 5/45 . Wolvaardt, meanwhile, was enjoying some good fortune and was dropped twice while she also survived a missed stumping.
