South Africa needed to go where they had never gone before. Laura Wolvaardt needed to carry forward the momentum and conjure a semifinal special. Marizanne Kapp had to bowl with the heat that had eluded her in the tournament so far.

In a grudge-match against England, all of the above happened and South Africa exorcised the ghosts that spooked them in the tournament opener.
It’s not often that you see a memorable knock and a memorable bowling spell in the same match but Wolvaardt and Kapp delivered. They made sure that they buried the memories of the 69 all out and the eventual 10-wicket defeat and staged a turnaround in the semifinal with a 125-run win to lock in their first-ever ODI World Cup final.
