Road to the Semi-finals
England were outstanding in the group stage, topping Group 2 with a perfect record and an impressive net run rate of +2.134. Drawn alongside the West Indies, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, Scotland and Ireland, they looked the strongest side throughout. Their final group match saw them comfortably chase down 164 against New Zealand, losing just one wicket in a commanding batting display.
South Africa finished runners-up to Australia in Group 1 after a dramatic finish to the group stage. The Proteas secured a tense four-wicket victory over Bangladesh, chasing 118 in the final over to keep their qualification hopes alive. They were then reliant on Australia defeating India in the final group match, and the tournament favourites duly delivered in a high-scoring contest to send South Africa through to the semi-finals.

Suggested Bets
South Africa to Win (Including Super Over) @ 2.90
Winning a World Cup semi-final against England on home soil is never an easy assignment, but this South African side has developed into one of the strongest teams in world cricket. They possess experience throughout the lineup, genuine match-winners with both bat and ball, and have shown throughout the tournament that they are capable of handling pressure. At 2.90, the South African ladies look worth supporting to spring the upset and book their place in the final.
Top England Batter – Danielle Wyatt @ 4.00
Wyatt has been the standout batter of the tournament, scoring 282 runs in five innings at an outstanding average of 94. She sits comfortably clear at the top of the run-scoring charts and arrives in this match after a superb unbeaten 89 against New Zealand, compiled at a strike rate of 167. Given her current form, she is a deserved favourite in the England batting markets.
Player of the Match – Marizanne Kapp @ 14.00
If South Africa are to reach the final, Marizanne Kapp is likely to be at the heart of the performance. One of the world’s premier all-rounders, she has claimed seven wickets at an average of 14.14 during the tournament while also contributing 119 runs at an average of 39.66 and a strike rate of 148. Her ability to influence the game in both disciplines makes 14.00 an attractive price in the Player of the Match market.
