In a rain-affected match at the ICC Women’s World Cup in Colombo, South Africa delivered a commanding performance to eliminate Pakistan from the tournament. The Proteas posted a formidable total of 312-9 in their 40 overs, thanks to stellar contributions from Laura Wolvaardt (90), Sune Luus (61), and Nadine de Klerk (41 off 16 balls). Pakistan, faced with a revised target of 234 in 20 overs due to multiple rain interruptions, struggled to 83-7, handing South Africa a 150-run victory via the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method. The win propelled South Africa to the top of the table, while Pakistan joined Bangladesh in being eliminated with a game to spare. Despite weather disruptions, South Africa showcased their batting depth and resilience, with Wolvaardt and Luus laying a solid foundation and Marizanne Kapp (3-20) leading the bowling attack. Pakistan’s hopes of advancing to the semi-finals were dashed as they failed to overcome the Proteas’ dominance. South Africa now look ahead to their final group match against Australia with confidence, having already secured a semi-final berth.
