South Africa Knock Pakistan Out of World Cup in Rain-Hit Match

South Africa secured their fifth straight win with key contributions from Marizanne Kapp and Laura Wolvaardt to lead the Women's Cricket World Cup standings.

  • On Tuesday, South Africa women's cricket team cruised to a 150-run DLS victory over Pakistan women's cricket team in Colombo, marking their fifth straight win.
  • After a rain delay following two overs, the Proteas' innings was reduced to 40 overs, allowing captain Laura Wolvaardt and teammates to build a strong total of 312/9.
  • Marizanne Kapp led the attack, taking 3/20 with Nondumiso Shangase grabbing 2/19 as Pakistan collapsed to 83/7 after slipping to 35/4, while Sadia Iqbal and Nashru Sandhu took three wickets each but conceded over seven runs an over.
  • Picking up two points moved the Proteas one point clear of Australia and England, and they are set to face world‑ranked Australia in Indore on Saturday.
  • Looking toward the playoffs next week, multiple match interruptions led to a DLS-adjusted target of 22 from 20 overs for Pakistan, reshaping the chase.
