9th over: South Africa 58-0 (Wolvaadt 33, Brits 19) The first ball from Nat Sciver-Brunt disappears over mid-wicket for four more to Wolvaardt. Natalie Germanos is somewhat surprised that South Africa have chosen to bat, thinks it is playing into the hands of England’s powerful batting line up. 10th over: South Africa 67-0 (Wolvaadt 35, Brits 26) Nine more tagged onto South Africa’s score. 4th over: South Africa 14-0 (Wolvaadt 4, Brits 8) Ecclestone time. 12th over: South Africa 83-0 (Wolvaadt 43, Brits 33)Brits goes over the top but a back-peddling Alex Capsey can’t reach it. Wolvaardt throws the bat and misses at the last ball – a touch of frustration perhaps. 13th over: South Africa 90-0 (Wolvaardt 48, Brits 35) England REVIEW for an LBW against Brits – but it looks legside and in fact the replay shows a glove. They’re lucky to pick up a leg bye from a ball that should have been called dead, then Wolvaardt is able to dispatch Dean quite easily, culminating in a stylish drop to her knee and and an up and over drive into the crowd for six! Eighteen from the over – and a delighted South Africa leave the field. South Africa can’t really get hold of her and have to make do with singles. The second ball is a floating full toss engraved with the words hit me – and Kapp duly obliges, pulling it high and to the rope. 2nd over: England 21-0 (Wyatt 6, Dunkley 6) Ismail sprints in, dark chestnut ponytail swinging side to side.

A straightforward analysis of India's semi-final defeat to Australia is that they lost to a better team. Five-time champions, seven-time finalists, ...

Pit this against India who went to the T20 World Cup with an interim coach in Hrishikesh Kanitkar after Romesh Power had been sacked for the second time in four years. Former player Shelley Nitschke–the ICC Women’s Cricketer of the Year in 2010 and part of that year’s T20 World Cup winning team–inherited this post after being assistant coach since 2018. Even if the ‘C’ word is carefully bypassed here, India may need to seriously introspect their performance in the knockout stages. But England and Australia continue to hold an edge when it comes to ICC tournaments. In May 2022, Matthew Mott was announced as coach of England’s white-ball cricket team and within six months they were World T20 champions. They were cruising and then we found a way to get some wickets and ultimately came out on top." India were sliding fast till Kaur took over the reins of the chase with Jemimah Rodrigues, both of them striking at over 150. "What we speak about is when our backs are up against the wall, we always try and find a way, and today we probably had no right to win at one point there. But it was nowhere close to a comprehensive win. "The Australian side, they always field very well; and from our side, we made some mistakes," Kaur said later. And the one Shafali Verma fluffed was as easy as it can come–Beth Mooney spearing the ball that was dropping on her at waist level and well inside the boundary. But a more critical analysis will throw up a few finer points that India need to work upon.

Sneh Rana, playing in place of Pooja Vastrakar, was unfortunate not to pick any wicket as she troubled the batters with her flight. Lanning, who was dropped early in her innings, made India pay with an unbeaten 49 off 34 balls. Harmanpreet, who was a doubtful starter for the do-or-die game due to high fever, got going with a crisp six over long on off Jess Jonassen. Deepti, India's most consistent spinner in the tournament, bowled too short in her opening spell. Rodrigues looked in sublime touch from the get go, dispatching Ashleigh Gardner for consecutive fours off her first two balls. India were comfortably placed at 132/4 in 14.3 overs before the run-out, needing 41 off 33 balls with six wickets in hand.

For the Proteas women, Marizanne Kapp and Tazmin Brits were the accelerators as they scored 27* and 68 respectively. Over numbers 15 and 20th produced 18 runs each and were bowled by Sarah Glenn and Katherine Sciver-Brunt respectively. The catch of Capsey in particular by Brits was outstanding. Now, after the end of 8 overs, the English are 75-2 and need 90 off 72 balls to win the match. South Africa have created history as they have come back after being down and out with England at 53-0 in the first five overs, chasing 165 to win the game.

Women's T20 World Cup 2023: Led by the heroics of Ayabonga Khaka Shabnim Ismail, South Africa successfully defended 164 against the power-packed England to ...

Cheered on by the passionate fans at Newlands, South African bowlers overcame an ordinary start to choke the highly-rated England batters and seal a 6-run win. Riding on a terrific all-round effort, South Africa defeated former champions England by successfully defending a 164-run total at Newlands in Cape Town. They will take on Australia in Sunday's final in Cape Town.

South Africa won in a dramatic final over to break England's hearts in the second semi-final at the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2023.

Ash Gardner was Player of the Match for a superb all-round display. Australia are targeting a sixth Women’s T20 World Cup title, but showed some signs of weakness against India. Yet there was another twist when Brits produced her third catch of the innings to remove Danni Wyatt for 34. But with England having hit a record score at the same ground just days ago, albeit against a weaker bowling unit, the onus was on South Africa to attack in the second half of their innings. The rate of scoring increased as the openers continued to build a platform, with Wolvaardt the more fluent of the two. And the momentum swung back and forth during England’s chase, with England’s openers getting off to a lightning start, Brits clinging on to four catches to remove each of England’s top four, and Ayabonga Khaka taking three wickets in a match-changing over.

And enjoy it they did – from the moment Luus won the toss and chose to bat, through a 96-run opening partnership between Tazmin Brits (68) and Laura Wolvaardt, ...

Ecclestone did finally remove Wolvaardt in the 14th, the batter sending up a leading edge to Dean at point three balls after reaching her half-century; while Brits was caught at long-on in the 18th. Two balls later, Dean failed to snaffle a catch in the same position; Sciver-Brunt was irate, and Dean got an earful. As so often this tournament, the England captain Heather Knight turned to her spin triple threat – Sophie Ecclestone, Charlie Dean and Sarah Glenn – but this time, Plan A did not quite seem to work. Incredibly, she took the last two with a bandaged arm after her dive to snaffle the second. For a while, the cricketing gods had shone on England’s chase – they reached 50 without loss within the first five overs, as Danni Wyatt (34 off 30) and Sophia Dunkley (28 off 16) repeatedly cleared the ring fielders by a matter of inches. England needed 13 off the final over; Ismail kept her nerve, and rattled Heather Knight’s stumps in the process.

Throughout the England run-chase, the Newlands crowd kept its voice up and backed the home team. Nat Sciver Brunt (40 off 34) and captain Heather Knight (30 off 25) kept England's hopes alive before Khaka picked up 3 wickets in the 18th over. England looked in control when Danni Wyatt (34 off 30) and Sophia Dunkley (28 off 16) added 53 runs for the opening wicket in just 5.1 overs. Brits hit 2 sixes and 6 boundaries for her 55-ball 68 as the senior opener stitched a 96-run opening stand with Laura Wolvaardt after which Marizanne Kapp struck a quickfire and unbeaten 13-ball 27 to help South Africa post 164 for 4. Brits's 68 and an all-round effort helped the Proteas Women beat former champions England by 6 runs in the semi-final of the Women's T20 World Cup 2023 on Friday, February 24. Sune Luus's side defeated England by 6 runs in the semi-final on Friday.

They surprisingly lost the World Cup opener to Sri Lanka and faced a must-win final group game against Bangladesh to reach the knockout stage. It was one of four catches for Brits. Ismail had 3-27 and bowled the tense last over, when England still had a chance, needing 13 runs with captain Heather Knight at the wicket on 31 not out. “Gutted,” England captain Knight said. “We were in and out of the game and it went in waves. We do have the best bowling in the world but it was against the best batting attack in the world.

The game went down to the wire thanks to the efforts of Ismail (3/27) and Khaka (4/29), who both came up with momentum changing overs.

South Africa were able to collect 66 runs off the last six overs. Star pacer Ismail brought back South Africa in the game with a double strike in the sixth over. We were in and out of the game and it went in waves. We are clear on how we want to go with T20 cricket,” England captain Heather Knight said. Every game we play, we keep making history and keep inspiring a nation. The 2009 champions England ended with 158 for eight in 20 overs.

This is for all our fans across the globe who have supported us throughout this World Cup, I thank you for believing in our journey, says Harmanpreet Kaur.

Asked to weigh in on the need for a mental conditioning coach, the 57-year -old said, "It will be of help but mental toughness does not come overnight. It has to be a holistic approach." You cannot be moulding one sort of a personality off the field and expect them to contradict it on the pitch. "There has to be focused camps at the National Cricket Academy. That is a huge progress as far as the team is concerned. During the innings break, they would have felt disappointed and their spirits would have been down because of a few mistakes made on the field and some extra runs conceded.

The former women's captain feels the Yo-Yo test must be introduced for the women's team also.

The bat was in the wrong hand. The seniors in the team will have to take responsibility for this semifinal exit because this Australian team looked beatable. Harman was jogging and the bat was in her left hand and it got stuck. Our fielding was not up to the mark in all the games and the catching was very poor. After all, she was the well-set batter at that point. She has played in the senior team for the past four years. We have four batters in the team, who are all world-class. We have to change according to the situation. We tried to fight but glaring mistakes throughout the tournament cost us a place in the final. That said, we did not surrender as we did in the 2020 World Cup. I was very disappointed with the performance of the Indian women’s team at the T20 World Cup in South Africa. This was an excellent chance to win another world title after the Under-19 team won the junior World Cup recently.
