South Africa women put in a heroic effort as they became the first team from their country to reach a cricket World Cup (men or women) final on Friday, February 24. Riding on a terrific all-round effort, South Africa defeated former champions England by successfully defending a 164-run total at Newlands in Cape Town.
Cheered on by the passionate fans at Newlands, South African bowlers overcame an ordinary start to choke the highly-rated England batters and seal a 6-run win. South Africa will take on 5-time champions Australia in the final at the same venue in Cape Town on Sunday, February 26.
