The Women’s T20 World Cup has reached the knockout stage, and England and South Africa now stand one win away from the final. England arrive unbeaten after coming through the group stage without a defeat, while South Africa fought their way out of what was considered the tougher group in the tournament. Their journey has not always been smooth, but they have once again found themselves in a World Cup semifinal.
The two teams know each other well, and recent history adds another layer to this contest. South Africa have won the last two World Cup semifinals between these sides, in 2023 and 2025, but England will believe playing at home gives them a strong opportunity to change that record. The Oval in London hosts this high-pressure clash, where one team will move a step closer to lifting the trophy while the other’s campaign comes to an end.
