England Vs South Africa Live Score, Women's T20 WC: ENG-W Restrict RSA-W To 124/6 In Sharjah

We played here the other night and we got to learn the conditions a bit better. Had the same plans, probably executed better and enjoyed it with the other bowlers. (Spinners) Our communication on and off the field has been really good about what's effective. We all bowl something a little bit different.

Some big hitting at the end from Annerie Dercksen, has enabled the Proteas to post 124/6 from their 20 overs. Led by Laura Wolvaardt's 42 and Marizanne Kapp's 26 runs, the Proteas have posted a decent total on a track that is slow and rugged. Will be an interesting chase.

RSA-W 124/6 (20 Overs)

Marizanne Kapp walked to the crease and has looked positive but the Proteas Women have lost two wickets as England look to control them under 120-runs at Sharjah.

RSA-W 99/4 (17 Overs)

Anneke Bosch was dismissed for a well-made 18 runs as she was bowled through her legs by Sarah Glenn. England though will be vary of the arrival of Marizanne Kapp at the crease as the South Africa women look to up the ante in the final five overs.

RSA-W 67/1 (13 Overs)

Such is the pressure created by English bowlers, that South Africa have not hit a boundary for 44 deliveries. That is huge and SA-W will have to break the chain if they are increase the run-rate.

RSA-W 85/2 (15 Overs)

The English spinners have dried out the scoring rate against South Africa as the Proteas have crossed fifty runs at the half-way mark in Sharjah. Laura Wolvaardt is battling on with 34 runs and is joined by Anneke Bosch.

RSA-W 54/1 (10 Overs)

Laura Wolvaardt remains key for the Proteas against England in Sharjah tonight. The South Africa women skipper is looking solid at the crease with 25-plus score and if she stays till the end of the innings, expect a formidable score for the English.

RSA-W 45/1 (8 Overs)

Tazmin Brits was the first wicket to fall in the evening for Proteas for 13 runs as she holed out to Danielle Gibson off the bowling from Linsey Smith. The South Africa batter wanted to go down the ground but could not get the perfect elevation and ended up sending the delivery into Gibson's hands.

RSA-W 37/1 (6 Overs)

South Africa pair of Laura Wolvaardt, Tazmin Brits have looked formidable in the opening five overs of the match against the English spinners. Powerplay coming to an end and the Proteas would want to go wicketless.

RSA-W 31/0 (5 Overs)

Laura Wolvaardt, Tazmin Brits are at the crease for South Africa women against England women. The Proteas pair have negotiated nicely against a potent English attack.

RSA-W 14/0 (2 Overs)

Pitch number 4 to be used today, a high of 36 degree celsius, 73m straight hit, 59m and 63 square boundaries, that's something to take care about. A lot of spin has been bowled by the spinners at this venue. We're looking at a margin of 3-3.5m, batters who can use their feet well would do. There are some bare patches, a par score of around 130-140 would be a good score.

England Women (Playing XI): Maia Bouchier, Danielle Wyatt-Hodge, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Heather Knight(c), Alice Capsey, Amy Jones(w), Danielle Gibson, Charlotte Dean, Sophie Ecclestone, Sarah Glenn, Linsey Smith

South Africa Women (Playing XI): Laura Wolvaardt(c), Tazmin Brits, Marizanne Kapp, Anneke Bosch, Sune Luus, Chloe Tryon, Nadine de Klerk, Annerie Dercksen, Sinalo Jafta(w), Nonkululeko Mlaba, Ayabonga Khaka

Laura Wolvaardt has won the toss and opted to bat first at Sharjah.

England batter Danni-Wyatt-Hodge: "I thought it was a pretty dominant performance by everyone (in win over Bangladesh). With the bat I thought we adapted quite early which was good. Communication was really good out there and then with the ball I thought the girls did a fantastic job...I thought our fielding was outstanding as well. We really attacked the ball as well and pulled off some good run-outs and catches. Hopefully we can kick on, learn from tonight and put out another good display in the next game."

South Africa bowler Nonkululeko Mlaba: "I think for us now we’re in it to win it. I mean we failed (in the) semi-finals a couple of times, and we failed at the finals. And now, it's either we win it or not. So that's the mentality of the team now. We're just in it to win it."
