South Africa Wins Toss and Opts to Bowl
South Africa captain Laura Woolvaardt has won the toss and elected to bowl first in the Women’s T20 Cricket World Cup semi-final at The Oval.
"I think The Oval is quite a hard ground to defend so we’ll have a bat later. We have room for improvement but I think that’s exciting thing - we’ve found ourselves in the semis without having fully found our feet."
Match Preview: England vs South Africa
Greetings from London and Cape Town as the stage is set for another intense encounter between the hosts, England, and South Africa, the runners-up in the previous World Cup.
