England Women have defeated South Africa Women in the ninth match of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 in Sharjah. Earlier in this game, South African skipper Laura Wolvaardt decided to bat first after the coin fell in favor of Africa. Batting first on the slow track of Sharjah was a wise decision, but the South African team put up only 124/6 in their 20 overs. The target of 125 was proved not enough to hold on to the aggressive English batting line-up. England chased down the target in 19.2 overs with 7 wickets in hand.
