South Africa's women's cricket team, led by captain Laura Wolvaardt, reached the World Cup final after a resounding victory against England. Wolvaardt's masterclass, a 169-run innings laced with 20 fours and four sixes, was pivotal in South Africa's imposing score of 319-7.

In a match held in Guwahati on Wednesday, England struggled against a fierce South African bowling attack, notably Marizanne Kapp's five-wicket demolition, which saw England all out for 194 in 42.3 overs.

Despite England's historical advantage, including past World Cup successes over South Africa, Wolvaardt's commanding form and Kapp's early breakthroughs ensured a 125-run triumph, setting up South Africa for the final against either Australia or India.
