ICC Women’s World Cup 2022: Laura Wolvaardt, Marizanne Kapp power South Africa past England for third win

After her brilliant show with the ball, Marizanne Kapp played a good hand with bat and almost took South Africa past the finishing line with her 42-ball knock during which she struck three boundaries and one six. 

South Africa produced an all-round display to continue their unbeaten run in the tournament, beating defending champions England by three wickets to register a hat-trick of wins in the ongoing ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2022 on Monday (March 14). South Africa first rode on Marizanne Kapp’s (5/45), her best bowling ODI figures, to restrict four-time champions England to 235/9 and then Laura Wolvaardt (77 off 101 balls) held their innings together as they overcame a late scare to chase down the target with four balls to spare.

South Africa skipper Sune Luus (36), Kapp (32) and Tazmin Brits (23) also provided useful support with the bat. Wolvaardt decorated her innings with eight boundaries.

After her brilliant show with the ball, Kapp played a good hand with bat and almost took South Africa past the finishing line with her 42-ball knock during which she struck three boundaries and one six. Kapp fell just 10 runs short of the target, LBW to Anya Shrubsole (2/34).
