Aca stadium

ODI World Cup: Anneke Bosch has come in for South Africa as England won the toss and elected to bowl first in the first semi-final of the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup at the ACA Stadium on Wednesday. The winner of this clash will advance to the final in Navi Mumbai on November 2.

After winning the toss, England skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt said left-arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone, who sustained a minor injury near her collarbone during the eight-wicket win over New Zealand in Visakhapatnam, will be playing the semi-final.

“I don’t think there’s a niggle. She’ll (Ecclestone) play through anything. She’s one of those players who doesn’t like being on the sidelines — she’ll be raring to go out there to play. I think it’s about trusting the process and everything we’ve done to get here. We know what we’re capable of,” said Nat.
