Guwahati, Oct 29
South Africa skipper Laura Wolvaardt added yet another feather to her already illustrious cap as she equalled former India captain Mithali Raj’s record of scoring the most 50+ totals at the Women’s World Cup.
The 26-year-old notched up three half-centuries in the ongoing 2025 Women’s World Cup group stages and brought up her fourth 50+ score this season in the ongoing knockout game against England on Wednesday.
However, Sophie Ecclestone returned in style as she picked up two wickets inside just four deliveries to add major dents to the opposition’s batting lineup. With Brits and Anneke Bosch back in the hut in the 23rd over, skipper Sciver-Brunt got her side another breakthrough with Sune Luus’ wicket in the 26th over.
Wolvaardt continued to anchor the innings from one end as South Africa reach 192/4 in 37 overs at the time of filing this report.
