'PROGRESS' DESPITE CRUSHING LOSS

Nottingham Post

|

October 31, 2025

CRICKET Charlotte Edwards insisted England are making progress after dreams of Women's Cricket World Cup glory were crushed by a woeful 125-run semi-final hammering at the hands of South Africa.

Proteas captain Laura Wolvaardt produced a masterclass to put her side on course for surprise victory in Guwahati, smashing 169 off 143 balls in a total of 319 for seven. England's opening three

batters - Amy Jones, Heather Knight and Tammy Beaumont - were then dismissed for ducks as the favourites wilted when faced with a record chase in a women's knockout game.
