South Africa Reach First Women's ODI World Cup Final

South Africa have staged a dramatic turnaround to reach their first-ever Women's ODI World Cup final after being bowled out for 69 by England early in the tournament. They rebuilt through key performances — Nonkululeko Mlaba (4/40) and a Tazmin Brits century helped beat New Zealand, while Laura Wolvaardt's 70 and Nadine de Klerk's unbeaten 84 completed a chase of India's 251. In the semi-final rematch with England in Guwahati, captain Wolvaardt struck a commanding 169 and Marizanne Kapp returned 5/20 as South Africa posted 319 and won by 125 runs. All‑round contributions from Chloe Tryon, Nadine de Klerk and others have masked intermittent low points, including being bowled out for 97 by Australia. South Africa will face India on November 2 with a genuine chance to claim their maiden ICC women's title.
