Impressive bowling
On Wednesday, the South African Women’s cricket team achieved a historic milestone in Guwahati, India, thanks to an outstanding innings from their captain, Laura Wolvaardt, and impressive bowling by Marizanne Kapp, who took five wickets for just 20 runs.
This incredible performance led them to a 125-run victory over England, propelling them into their first-ever 50-over World Cup final.

“Their performance was electrifying, and they have established themselves as contenders on the global stage,” a Cabinet statement read.
