Sciver-Brunt Fit for England's T20 World Cup Semi-Final
England have won five straight matches as Sciver-Brunt recovers from a left calf injury and is expected to reclaim the captaincy.
- England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt declared herself fit for Thursday's T20 World Cup semi-final against South Africa after batting practice at The Oval on Wednesday, ending her three-match absence.
- A minor left calf tear on April 29 sidelined Sciver-Brunt early in the summer; a recurrence two weeks ago forced her to miss England's final three group-stage matches.
- England cruised to five wins during the group stage while Charlie Dean deputized as captain; Sophia Dunkley, who shared a 128-run stand with Danni Wyatt-Hodge against New Zealand, is expected to drop out.
- Sciver-Brunt told reporters she "literally threw everything" at her rehabilitation, as England seeks their first global title since the 2017 50-over World Cup trophy.
- Victory on Thursday would secure a place in Sunday's final at Lord's against Australia, though South Africa previously defeated England in the 2023 semi-finals and last year's 50-over World Cup.
