🔥 Live Scorecard – South Africa Innings

- Ecclestone (ENG): 2/31 (8 overs)

South Africa got off to a steady start with Wolvaardt anchoring the innings beautifully. After losing Lizelle Lee early, Brits provided solid support in a 74-run second-wicket stand. England’s bowlers pulled things back in the middle overs, with Sophie Ecclestone’s left-arm spin proving particularly effective. Kapp is currently at the crease, looking to accelerate in the final 10 overs.
🇬🇧 England’s Key Players to Watch
- Nat Sciver-Brunt: All-rounder in sublime form this tournament
- Sophie Ecclestone: Leading wicket-taker in the competition so far
- Alice Capsey: Aggressive middle-order batter with match-winning ability
- Kate Cross: Experienced seamer with clever variations
🇿🇦 South Africa’s Game Plan
The Proteas have shown remarkable resilience in this World Cup. Their top order—Wolvaardt, Brits, and Lee—has been consistent, while Kapp and Sune Luus add firepower in the death overs. With Shabnim Ismail still recovering from a minor niggle, Masabata Klaas has stepped up admirably with the new ball.
🌧️ Pitch & Conditions
The pitch at Barsapara offers good carry and some assistance for seamers early on. As the game progresses, it tends to flatten out—ideal for stroke-makers. Dew may play a role if England chases under lights, but with the match starting at 9:30 AM local time, both teams are playing in dry conditions.

💬 Expert Insight
“South Africa’s middle order needs to fire today. If Kapp and Luus can add 50+ together, 230+ is very achievable. But England’s fielding and death bowling could be the difference,” says former India batter Anjum Chopra.
