Right then, we have our first finalist. For the third year in a row, South Africa are one step away from glory, having previously endured heartbreaks in the 2023 and 2024 T20 World Cup finals. They now await the winner of the second semifinal between Australia and India, which will take place at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on Thursday, 30th October. Fingers crossed the weather stays clear because it promises to be a blockbuster contest. The first ball will be bowled at 9.30 am GMT, but make sure to join us early for all the build-up. Until then, take care and goodbye!
South Africa's captain, Laura Wolvaardt, expresses her delight after the win, saying it was 'very special' and a sweet revenge against the team that had beaten them in the last two World Cup semi-finals. She admits that the memory of their 69 all-out loss did linger, but losing the toss didn't bother her too much, as she would have opted to bowl anyway. Wolvaardt stresses the importance of having runs on the board in a knockout game and was pleased with her bowlers' performance. She highlights the strong partnerships that defined the game, particularly the opening stand between her and Tazmin Brits. Shares that although they lost a few quick wickets, Marizanne Kapp's incredible batting took the pressure off her and allowed her to play freely. Adds that with a strong batting line-up to come, she decided to take advantage and play aggressively, and she was thrilled with how it ended.
The captain of England, Nat Sciver-Brunt admits that they were not at their best and you have to put in a whole game together, if you are to beat the top teams. Mentions that they are hugely disappointed as a side but feels that they did not let the game drift away despite the start South Africa had with the bat and stuck at it as a side. Believes that they did not let the occasion get to themselves, and she is pleased with the energy shown by the group. Praises Laura Wolvaardt for the way she batted. Admits that Marizanne Kapp bowled brilliantly upfront, and losing early wickets made it all the more difficult in the chase. Tells that this loss will hurt, but she hopes to take the lessons from this defeat and move forward.
The skipper of South Africa, Laura Wolvaardt is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for her stunning knock of 169 runs from 143 balls. She is overjoyed, feeling like she's living a dream on this special day. She credits her solid start with Tazmin Brits, saying they planned to go out strong and build a partnership. As for her aggressive approach towards the end, Laura reveals she aimed to reach the 40-over mark and then let her game flow freely. On her century, Laura states that it ranks high on her list due to the big stage of the semi-final match.
Time for the presentation ceremony...
Earlier, after being asked to bat first, South Africa’s skipper, Laura Wolvaardt, lit up the stage with a magnificent 169. Her 116-run opening stand with Tazmin Brits set the perfect platform before England hit back with a few quick strikes. The arrival of Marizanne Kapp eased the pressure on Wolvaardt and ensured the innings stayed on track. There was another phase when England picked up wickets in clusters to claw their way back, but once Sophie Ecclestone was done with her spell, Wolvaardt went into overdrive. Towards the end, contributions from Chloe Tryon and Nadine De Klerk took Proteas to 319. Ecclestone stood out with the ball with figures of 4 for 44 from 10 overs, including a maiden.
After Capsey perished, Danni Wyatt-Hodge came in with intent and kept the momentum going. Marizanne Kapp had gone off the field due to cramps after her first spell, and upon her return, she had to serve time out before being eligible to bowl again. But once she was allowed to, she delivered handsomely. Even with the old ball, Kapp managed to extract movement off the seam, first claiming the prized scalp of the English captain before striking twice more to dent England further and complete a superb five-wicket haul. That effort from Kapp in the second spell effectively sealed the fate of the game.
History stood between England and a place in the final, as 264 was the highest total they had ever chased in an ODI. The pursuit, though, could not have started any worse. Marizanne Kapp’s double strike and one from Ayabonga Khaka left them reeling at 1/3. Alice Capsey and Nat Sciver-Brunt then joined forces to steady the ship. The pair rotated the strike smartly and picked up the odd boundary to forge the recovery. At the halfway stage, there wasn’t much to separate the two sides. Both had identical scores of 119, though England had lost two more wickets.
Ghosts of Bristol and Christchurch have been laid to rest in Guwahati! South Africa have overcome their semifinal heartbreaks from 2017 and 2022 to reach their first-ever ODI World Cup final. The celebrations have begun in the Proteas camp. Smiles, hugs, and pure joy all around as they remind themselves that just one final push remains. England were far from their best with the ball, and after the way their chase began, it was always going to be an uphill task. In the end, they were simply outplayed by the better side on the night.

DRINKS BREAK! Marizanne Kapp’s second spell has turned the game firmly in South Africa’s favour. There might have been a temptation to keep Kapp on and finish things off, but Laura Wolvaardt has chosen to hold her back for now. England were looking in good shape when Alice Capsey and Nat Sciver-Brunt were building a solid stand, and even after Capsey’s dismissal, Danni Wyatt-Hodge kept the momentum going. However, since Nat’s departure, it’s all gone downhill for England, and they are now staring down the barrel, though, as long as Danni is still out there, there’s a flicker of hope.

Marizanne Kapp To Nat Sciver-Brunt OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Marizanne Kapp gets the big fish! She answers her skipper's call. This is a big dent to England's chances in the chase. Angled in from over the wicket, on the off pole, on a good length. The angle of the ball coming back into her made Nat Sciver-Brunt think that she could turn this away on the leg side. She closes the bat face slightly and the ball nips away enough to graze the outside edge. It goes behind towards the keeper, Sinalo Jafta, who does well to take a low catch. Sciver-Brunt departs for 64 (76) and England are 138/5.

OUT! CAUGHT! Sune Luus breaks through for South Africa! Fifty and out for Alice Capsey. She is bitterly disappointed as she trudges off. Looped up by Luus, full and outside off. Alice puts the dancing shoes on and tries to go over mid off. The bat turns in her hand and she fails to get the desired elevation. Hits it flat at head height towards mid off, where Nadine De Klerk takes a couple of steps back and takes a reverse cup catch in front of her face. Capsey falls for 50 (71).

DRINKS BREAK! This has been an eventful first 16 overs of the run chase. After that early chaos where they were reduced to 1/3, England have found some much-needed stability through Nat Sciver-Brunt and Alice Capsey. The pair has done well to keep the scoreboard ticking and whenever the opportunities have been presented, they have been quick to cash in. South Africa had a chance to break this stand a couple of overs ago but it went down. This break will allow Laura Wolvaardt and Co. to regroup. It will be important for them to target the stumps as much as they can and keep building pressure rather than going searching for wickets.

DROPPED! Alice is dropped by Nondumiso Shangase at long on. Tossed up around off, Alice Capsey gets down on a knee and slogs this one. Fails to get right underneath it and hits this straight to the substitute fielder, who did extremely well on the previous delivery. Nondumiso Shangase never looked under control of this one and she goes with hard hands at it and away from her body. The ball strikes her hands and pops out. Both batters were ball watching and did not go for the single but Nat Sciver-Brunt did back up a fair bit before returning inside her crease at the bowler's end. The throw from the deep was good by Nondumiso Shangase, though and Sune Luus gathers this and removes the bails at the non-striker's end and appeals for a runout. The on-field umpire sends this upstairs and the replay shows that NSB was just in when Luus removed the bails at the non-striker's end. England Women avoid a scare.
Catch dropped, but is Nat Sciver-Brunt short of her crease? It is referred upstairs. The replays show that Nat is safe as she has some part of the bat inside the crease.

Nadine De Klerk To Nat Sciver-Brunt
WIDE! On a length, spraying down the leg. Nat Sciver-Brunt looks to flick it but misses. Wided.
End of the Powerplay! The fielding side will now be allowed 4 fielders outside the 25-yard circle till the end of the contest. At the same stage, South Africa Women were 58 for no loss. Not a lot between the two sides in terms of runs at this stage, looking at the batting unit, but the 3 wickets that England Women have lost are what is key here.

Nadine De Klerk To Nat Sciver-Brunt
Has Sciver-Brunt been strangled down leg? Or is Nadine De Klerk appealing for LBW? Very full, down leg, Nat misses out on the tickle and the ball clips the pads on its way to the keeper. Sinalo Jafta moves to her left to gather it. No real confidence in the appeal and South Africa decide against the review.

Ayabonga Khaka To Tammy Beaumont OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! England are getting a taste of their own medicine from the game in the league stage. Good length wide of off, Tammy Beaumont shuffles across around her right and looks to run this down to the third man region. Gets a faint edge and is caught by the keeper. Tammy sends this upstairs and UltraEdge shows a clear spike as the ball is next to the bat of Tammy Beaumont. England loses Tammy and a review.

OUT! TIMBER! Marizanne Kapp produces a beauty! This is the nip-backer from Kapp, on a good length, on off and middle. Amy Jones leans ahead with her bat out in front but is nowhere near the pitch of the ball. Jones leaves a yawning gap between the bat and the pad. The ball jags back to go through the gate and knock down the stumps. A two-ball duck for Amy.
