Following their commanding 10-wicket win over the West Indies, where they successfully chased down 118 runs, South Africa faced England next. Skipper Laura Wolvaardt once again led the charge with a solid 42 (39), supported by Marizanne Kapp (26), Annerie Dercksen (20*), Anneke Bosch (18), and Tazmin Brits (13), culminating in a total of 124/6. With the ball, Kapp provided an early breakthrough, but two substantial partnerships shifted the momentum, resulting in a 7-wicket loss for South Africa with four balls to spare.
Scotland displayed impressive grit in their debut match, narrowly losing to Bangladesh by 16 runs while chasing 120. In their subsequent game against the West Indies, contributions from Alisa Lister (26) and Kathryn Bryce (25) helped them post a total of 99/8. During the second innings, Rachel Slater secured a crucial breakthrough, and after a brief recovery from the West Indies, Scotland ignited a collapse, restricting the Windies to 59/4 at one stage, but the win wasn’t to be.
In T20I head-to-head matchups, South Africa has yet to face Scotland, setting the stage for an exciting game. With Scotland aiming for a historic win, they will seek to pull off an upset, while South Africa will be eager to bounce back and maintain strong contention for another semi-final appearance.
