Lauren Bell to Nadine de Klerk. Leg cutter half volley, wide outside off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed to deep mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Wyatt-Hodge. Despite a low-scoring contest against England in the league stage, South Africa have posted a competitive total on the board in the big game. After a tremendous opening stand between Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits, they lost three quick wickets, shifting the momentum towards England. However, Marizanne Kapp joined hands with the skipper to steady the innings with a valuable 72-run partnership. Laura Wolvaardt had a fantastic performance today with 169 runs, scoring her first World Cup hundred, but unfortunately, she didn't receive enough support from the other end. This will be a challenging chase for England, and we're eager to see who ultimately takes control of the game. Stay tuned for an exciting chase ahead!
