England vs South Africa Highlights, Women's T20 World Cup 2024: England Women win by 7 wickets

Tonight's clash at Sharjah could be pivotal for both England and South Africa in this group stage. With both teams coming off dominant wins—England beating Bangladesh by 21 runs with a spin-heavy attack and South Africa crushing West Indies by 10 wickets—the stakes are high. The slow and low Sharjah pitch, along with a sluggish outfield, will make runs hard to come by, adding to the challenge for both sides. The winner of this game will take a significant step toward securing a spot in the semi-finals. Stay tuned for live updates and follow the action on TimesofIndia.com.

21:43 (IST) Oct 07

Drinks! After a slowish start, England Women have recovered well to get back on track, but they still need to improve the scoring rate. Danni Wyatt-Hodge holds the key for them as she is set and on a wicket like this, it will be difficult for the new batters to come in and go on the attack straightaway. South Africa Women will feel like they are much more in control of the game and will want to keep putting the pressure on the batters by squeezing the runs and picking up wickets at regular intervals. An exciting phase of this chase awaits us.
