South Africa are looking to overcome their spin woes as they face England in the first semifinal of the ICC Women’s World Cup in Guwahati today. English skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt won the toss of the match and opted to field first. The Proteas have shown grit to reach the knockouts but remain vulnerable against quality spin, having collapsed to 69 and 97 in two league defeats. Captain Laura Wolvaardt has led with 301 runs, yet inconsistent support from Tazmin Brits, Sune Luus, and Marizanne Kapp remains a concern.
England, meanwhile, enter the clash brimming with confidence after thrashing South Africa by 10 wickets earlier in the tournament. Led by Heather Knight and all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt, they’ll rely on their spin trio — Sophie Ecclestone, Charlie Dean, and Linsey Smith — to exploit South Africa’s weakness. With rain looming and a final berth at stake, both sides will need to stay composed in what promises to be a tense, high-stakes encounter.
