England opens their Women’s World Cup campaign in a dominant fashion, throwing South Africa with 10 Wickets at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Friday. The contest ended well before the scheduled scene shifted when South Africa was bundled for just 69, their lowest number in the Odi Women, before England pursued a target in 14.1 overs. Linsey Smith, playing his first World Cup, starred in the ball, returned by 3 to 7. He issued Captain Laura Wolvaardt, Tazmin Brits, and Marizanne Kapp in a row to break the highest order of South Africa.
Nat Sciver-Brunt (2/5), Sophie Ecclestone (2/19) and Charlie Dean (2/14) add damage, leaving the proteas that felt at 19 to 4 and eventually rejected in 20.4 overs. Only Wicketkeper Sinalo Jafa showed a match with 22 of 36 balls, but he didn’t get support at the other end. Nine South African beaters were rejected for a one -digit score when England bowling exploited a movement with a new ball. England’s pursuit is easy. Tammy Beaumont (21*) and Amy Jones (40*) adopt a heartbeat before opening, placing loose delivery. They repair the target with 215 balls for replacement, which is also the fourth ball left in Odi’s successful success for England women. England ship Nat Sciver-Brunt praised his performance all the time, saying, “Yes, in a hurry, as if everyone was really on the field. He also praised Smith’s impact, adding,” he was just stuck with his strength … we knew he was a very good match for both games. “ South African captain Laura Wolvaardt admits her team is short. “It’s not our best work with bats, but by saying that, I don’t think we’ve been a bad batting unit overnight,” he said. “We may not expect a lot of swings … we might play a more stringent line.”
