Kapp shines as Proteas Women cruise past Pakistan
Cape Argus
|October 22, 2025
PROTEAS Women’ senior player Marizanne Kapp delivered a stellar all-round performance to guide South Africa to their fifth consecutive win at the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, beating Pakistan by 150 runs (DLS method) yesterday at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
Kapp produced an outstanding new-ball spell in the rain-affected clash, claiming three wickets in her five-over burst to set South Africa up for another commanding victory in the ongoing tournament.
The 35-year-old finished with figures of 3/20, while right-arm off-spinner Nondumiso Shangase and seamer Ayabonga Khaka chipped in with figures of 2/19 and 1/14 respectively, helping South Africa record five consecutive World Cup wins for the first time in their history.
The result keeps the Proteas second on the table, behind only Australia - the side they are set to face in their seventh and final round-robin fixture of the tournament on Saturday.
