SA hardly moved into second gear as they capitulated to a meek 156 in 38 overs to lose by 137 runs with 12 overs to spare.Hilton Moreeng and his side will have to wait for another year for a shot at a World Cup on home soil when they host the Women’s Twenty20 World Cup in February 2023. She was at the centre of crucial partnerships with Knight , Sciver and Amy Jones . But it was the fifth-wicket stand of 116 from 112 balls with Sophia Dunkley that led to SA needing to produce the highest successful chase in a women’s World Cup match.
Wolvaardt could be overtaken by Rachael Haynes , Meg Lanning or Alyssa Healy when they run out for Australia in Sunday’s final against England at the same venue.
