South Africa Scrapes Past Bangladesh and Leaves India Needing to Upset Australia at Lord's
South Africa’s four-wicket win leaves India needing a victory over Australia to claim the last Women’s T20 World Cup semifinal place.
- South Africa beat Bangladesh by four wickets on Sunday, forcing India to defeat Australia at Lord to secure the final spot in the Women's T20 World Cup semifinals.
- Tight bowling from Marizanne Kapp, Shabnim Ismail, and Nonkululeko Mlaba restricted Bangladesh to 117-5; Sobhana Mostary top-scored with 42 and Nigar Sultana added 32 off 20.
- South Africa's chase saw early turmoil when captain Laura Wolvaardt was bowled by Marufa Akter, but Annerie Dercksen and Tazmin Brits steadied the innings before Chloe Tryon secured victory.
- Dismissing Juairiya Ferdous earned Kapp her 100th T20 wicket; reflecting on the narrow victory, Kapp said, "We seem to always do this but we take the win."
- Both teams' openers fell for ducks in a rare statistical coincidence, marking only the second time such an event has occurred in a T20 World Cup since 2018.
