Women’s World Cup: Wolvaardt’s Ton, Kapp’s Fifer Power South Africa Into Final
ODI World Cup: After starting their 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup by being bowled out for 69 by England at the ACA Stadium, South Africa turned the tables on the same opposition in emphatic fashion by storming into the title clash with a 125-run win in the first semifinal on Wednesday.
With this win, South Africa have stormed into their first-ever Women’s World Cup final by dismantling England with a clinical performance. Skipper Laura Wolvaardt led the charge with a masterful 169 off 143 balls - an innings that will be etched in World Cup folklore.
She paced her knock with poise and precision, reaching her century off 115 balls before unleashing a late-innings blitz that saw her plunder 69 runs off her final 28 deliveries. Her knock, laced with 20 fours and four sixes, is also the highest score by a South African in a Women’s ODI World Cup, as the Proteas posted a mammoth 319/7.
