ENG-W vs SA-W 2nd Semi-Final Highlights - London (02 July 2026)

FOUR! Gets it away and that brings up a FIFTY for Tazmin Brits, her 16th in T20Is. She has it all to do with the chase slipping away here for South Africa. Flat and short, on off. Brits makes room for herself to force it away on the off side. It goes off the toe end and races past short third for a boundary.

OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE. Fifty and out for Tazmin Brits. Another threat has been nipped in the bud by England. Two wickets in three balls for the home side. Full and quick, on middle. Brits charges down the track and has a swipe across the line. She loses her shape and it is skewed off a leading edge to cover, where Nat Sciver-Brunt pouches it safely. Wicket number 2 for Dean.

Attacking the front pad. Tryon clips it to deep mid-wicket and takes a single.

On a nagging length, on off, Nadine De Klerk defends it back to the bowler.

Short, around middle, Nadine De Klerk goes deep into the crease and flicks it with soft hands toward the vacant square leg region to get a double. Charlie Dean sprints herself toward it and slides to cut it to one run.

Full, on off, Chloe Tryon nudges it to long on for one.

Pace off, full and going across. Tryon angles the drive to backward point.

Wide not given, much to the surprise of Chloe Tryon. Down leg, on a good length. Chloe misses out on the tickle. The umpire reckons that it brushed the pads of the batter before going through to the keeper.

Drags the length back, on off and middle. Tryon dabs it to the right of point and gets to the other end.

A touch fuller, on off, Nadine De Klerk pushes it to cover-point.

Low full toss, outside off, Nadine De Klerk punches it wide of the extra cover fielder and gets a quick single. 100 up for South Africa!

Fullish, outside leg, Chloe Tryon misses her flick and thuds on the pad. The ball dribbles away toward short fine leg, where the fielder picks it up and scores a direct hit at the striker's end as the batter takes a single. However, Nadine De Klerk is already inside the crease. 

Fired in, full and on middle. Tryon steps out and forces it down to long on for a single.

No air given, flatter and on a good length. Nadine punches it past extra cover. Nat Sciver-Brunt goes after it and hauls it in. Two runs taken.

From around the wicket now. On a length, Dean pushes it through again and tucks the batter up for room. De Klerk swings it away towards mid-wicket for a run.

FOUR! Up and over. At the sticks, on a length. The field is up on the off side and Tryon backs away before going inside out over extra cover for a boundary.

FOUR! Untidy by Linsey Smith. Dean switches to around the wicket, full and quick, on middle. Tryon makes room and powers it down to long off, where Linsey moves to her right and gets low but lets it through her legs.

On the pads, the length stays full. Tryon helps it to short fine leg. 12 runs off the over. 57 needed off 18.

FOUR! Now Nadine De Klerk gets one away. From around the wicket, speared in, on a good length. De Klerk makes room for herself and carves it over cover for a four.

Run out chance missed! Very full, on middle. Nadine drills it to cover, where Freya Kemp makes a half stop. Nadine wants to sneak in a quick single and is nearly halfway before being sent back. The ball gets lost at the feet of Kemp, who recovers and hurriedly fires in a wayward throw, well wide of the keeper. That allows De Klerk to get home.

Full and around leg. Nadine works it wide of short fine leg to her left for a quick single.

OUT! TIMBER! Chloe Tryon bites the dust now. This is slower by Sophie, on a good length, angled in at the leg stump. Tryon reaches out in front and has a heave across the line. The ball sneaks under her blade and crashes into the leg pole. South Africa Women are now 118/6, needing 52 runs from 14 balls.

Full and at the sticks. Jafta pushes it wide of extra cover for a single.

Very full, on off. Nadine smacks it hard but picks out the cover fielder.

Pace off now, on a nagging length. Jafta waits for an eternitty before attempting the scoop over the keeper but misses.

Sticks to the leg-cutter, on a good length, outside off. Sinalo pushes away from her body and is beaten past the outside edge.

OUT! SINALO JAFTA IS RUN OUT! Danni Wyatt-Hodge produces the direct hit and that sums up England's effort in the field. On off, on a length. Jafta dabs it with an angled bat face to backward point and is off for the run. Danni Wyatt-Hodge moves to her left, picks the ball up and has a shy at the batting end. Having been sent back, Sinalo is struggling to return and the direct hit from Danni catches her short.

Another loopy slower ball, on middle. Khaka bunts it down the strip.

FOUR! That has somehow gone to the fence. There's that surprise bouncer at pace by Bell, over the right shoulder. Khaka swings her bat ungainly. It goes off a top edge down to the deep third fence.

OUT! CASTLED! The slower ball does the trick for Lauren Bell. This is at the stumps, fuller in length. Khaka does not pick the change of pace and has a heave across the line. The ball drops on her and goes under the blade before disturbing the furniture.

Darted in from around the wicket, short and on middle and leg. Nadine De Klerk makes room and cuts it past point. Freya Kemp goes after it and hauls it in with a slide. Two runs taken.

Fuller and quicker, outside off. Nadine walks across the stumps and goes hard on the sweep. It goes off a top edge but lands safely in front of deep mid-wicket. They cross.

Pulls the length back, a bit of turn, on middle. Ismail whips it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

Bowled with more of a round-arm action, fractionally short, on middle. Nadine makes room to force it away on the off side but the ball does not rise much. Chops it down off a bottom edge towards short fine leg.

Flighted delivery, a bit fuller, on off. Nadine De Klerk has a swing at it and ends up slicing it down to long off, where the fielder does not commit herself to the catch and hangs back to collect it on the bounce. Linsey Smith is not happy one bit.

England are through to the final, where they will meet Australia. Smith drops it a bit short, on middle. Shabnim hangs back and shovels it wide of short fine leg for just a single. Hugs and smiles all around in the English camp.
