Ruthless England dismantle South Africa in cup opener
The Independent
|October 04, 2025
Spinner Linsey Smith set the tone in the 10-wicket victory
England opened their Women’s Cricket World Cup campaign in style with a thumping 10-wicket win over South Africa.
After winning the toss and opting to field first, England got off to a sensational start, skittling the Proteas for just 69 runs.
Linsey Smith was the pick of the bowling attack as she took three for seven.
Sinalo Jafta was the only batter to reach double figures in a bleak display for South Africa, before Tammy Beaumont and Amy Jones eased to their 70-run target to claim a first win of the competition.
England's attention now turns to their next game, which takes place on Tuesday against Bangladesh.
An extraordinary start saw South Africa skipper Laura Wolvaardt caught and bowled by Smith in the second over, and the spinner claimed her second scalp in the fourth after bowling Tazmin Brits.
