England Spinners Destroy South Africa Batting Line-up
The England vs South Africa Women’s World Cup 2025 clash turned into a one-sided contest in Guwahati. South Africa collapsed to just 69 runs, recording their lowest ODI score against England and their second-lowest in a Women’s World Cup. Conditions were not overly challenging, yet England’s bowlers exploited South Africa’s poor shot selection and lack of footwork.
Linsey Smith, on her World Cup debut, stunned the opposition with figures of 3 for 7. Her early strikes removed key batters Laura Wolvaardt, Tazmin Brits, and Marizanne Kapp. At the other end, Lauren Bell and Nat Sciver-Brunt maintained relentless pressure, reducing South Africa to 38 for 6 inside the first powerplay.

South Africa’s batting struggles were clear throughout the England vs South Africa Women’s World Cup 2025 match. While Sinalo Jafta offered brief resistance with 22 runs, none of the other batters showed the temperament to build partnerships. Selection questions also emerged as Annerie Dercksen, fresh from a century earlier this year, was left out. Instead, the chosen allrounders failed to make an impact, leaving South Africa bundled out in just 20.4 overs.
