England Women vs South Africa Women, 1st Semi-Final, ICC Womens World Cup 2025 - Player Highlights

Luus to Capsey, out Caught by de Klerk!! Oh dear! Capsey puts her hand on her helmet as she trudges back to the pavilion. Luus is chuffed to bits. Just when things started to shift a bit, Capsey has thrown it away. England already got 9 runs off the over. Was that necessary from Capsey? She ran down the pitch looking to go downtown and skewed the lofted drive off the cue end to mid-off. de Klerk holds on to a straightforward catch. Capsey c de Klerk b Luus 50(71) [4s-6]
