"Wolvaardt took 115 balls to bring up a maiden World Cup hundred, which was reason enough to celebrate. But with wickets tumbling at the other end, and England looking like they might have an easy enough chase on their hands, she unleashed a superb display of boundary-striking, adding 69 runs in 28 balls. Wolvaardt slammed four sixes down the ground and slogswept Linsey Smith for 20 runs off the 47th over."
"Kapp started the rot, beginning with a double-wicket maiden: she bowled Amy Jones with a nipbacker the ball of the day before Heather Knight flailed at one outside offstump that she could easily have left and chopped on to her own stumps. Kapp's next over was another maiden; after two more, she was forced off the field with cramp. By the time she returned to the attack, Alice Capsey had struck a maiden one-day international fifty"
South Africa scored 319 for seven, the second-highest total in a World Cup knockout, powered by captain Laura Wolvaardt's maiden World Cup century. Wolvaardt reached her hundred off 115 balls and accelerated with 69 runs in 28 balls, including four sixes and a 20-run over off Linsey Smith. Marizanne Kapp took five for 20, including a double-wicket maiden that removed Amy Jones and Heather Knight, and bowled maidens before leaving with cramp. England recovered through Alice Capsey's maiden ODI fifty and a partnership with Nat SciverBrunt but were bowled out for 194 in 42.3 overs.
