England Tops South Africa in T20 World Cup

England secured their second win of the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 with a seven-wicket victory over South Africa, led by Nat Sciver-Brunt's unbeaten 48 runs. Chasing South Africa's total of 124-6, England reached their target with four balls to spare, thanks to a crucial 64-run partnership between Sciver-Brunt and Danni Wyatt-Hodge, who scored 43 runs. South Africa's innings was anchored by captain Laura Wolvaardt's 42 runs, but they struggled against England's spin-heavy bowling attack, particularly Sophie Ecclestone, who took 2 wickets for 15 runs. This win marked a significant moment for England, who overcame their recent defeats to South Africa in previous World Cups. South Africa now faces a must-win situation in their upcoming matches against Bangladesh and Scotland to secure a spot in the semi-finals.
