Danni Wyatt-Hodge and Nat Sciver-Brunt guide England to an impressive seven-wicket win over South Africa at the Women's T20 World Cup.
A much-improved batting performance saw England seal a seven-wicket win over South Africa at the Women's T20 World Cup.
South Africa, who knocked England out of the previous T20 World Cup in 2023, were restricted to 124-6 after another stellar performance from England's spinners. England are in a promising position to finish top of Group B, and South Africa are still in contention for a semi-final spot as both teams take on winless Scotland next, with the Proteas playing on Wednesday and England on Saturday.While the sluggish pitches and slow outfields at Sharjah have bamboozled many batters so far – including England's – they have certainly played into the hands of the enviable array of spinners that Heather Knight has at her disposal.
Brits was dropped twice and Wolvaardt was put down on 22 as the pair continued their fine form following unbeaten half-centuries against West Indies in their first outing. Ecclestone reaped the rewards, drawing a shot of frustration from Wolvaardt in the 16th over before Kapp, whose added impetus was vital but came too late, was bowled in a critical 19th over that included just four runs scored.
