England comes in riding a win from the previous match, while South Africa has not been as consistent and is going to need to regroup quickly.

According to reports, the pitch in Guwahati is ‘even,’ so batters may have some risks to play with, however, early movement and spin may also favour the bowlers dependent on the overcast and dampness. Heather Knight, England captain, and Laura Wolvaardt, South African opener, are key players at the top of the order, Sophie Ecclestone is an England spinner and Marizanne Kapp is an all rounder for South Africa. Based on head to head record, recent form and conditions, England will go into this any semi final match as strong favourites to win. England Women won the toss and picked bowling.
de Klerk to Smith, out Caught by Luus! South Africa have sealed their place in the World Cup final. A clever slower off-cutter, pitched full on middle, Smith steps forward to loft it but ends up slicing it. Luus moves to her right from mid-off, slides, and takes a well-judged catch.

Mlaba to Smith, 1 run; Mlaba puts down a return catch! The ball clips her fingertips, leaving her in visible pain on her right hand. Smith had advanced down the track and lofted it high to the bowler’s right.
Luus to Capsey, out Caught by de Klerk! Oh no! Capsey holds her helmet in frustration as she walks back. Luus is absolutely delighted. Just when England seemed to be gaining momentum, Capsey gifts her wicket away. After already scoring 9 runs in the over, she charges down the track aiming for a big shot but ends up slicing it off the cue end straight to mid-off, where de Klerk takes a simple catch.
