South Africa v England - 2022 ICC Women's Cricket World Cup

New Zealand Women will take on South Africa Women at Seddon Park in Hamilton in the 16th match of the ICC Women's World Cup 2022.

South Africa, led by Sune Luus, have been on a rampage in the ongoing edition of the mega event. Having won all three of their matches, they are sitting in the top half of the table with six points and a net run rate of 0.280.

South Africa defeated England by three wickets in their previous game. Marizanne Kapp was the star of the show for them. The veteran picked up a five-wicket haul and then scored a timely 32. Laura Wolvaardt also chipped in with a half-century. It was South Africa’s maiden win over the Brits in the World Cup since 2000.

New Zealand, led by Sophie Devine, on the other hand, are hanging in the middle of the table with two wins and as many losses. Having beaten India by 62 runs, they slumped to a 141-run defeat to Australia on Sunday.

After being put into bat, the Aussies scored 269 for eight. Ellyse Perry, who won the Player of the Match award, and Tahlia McGrath scored half-centuries. Ashleigh Gardner also chipped in with a quickfire 19-ball knock of 48. The White Ferns failed to put up much of a fight and were bowled out for 128 in only 30.2 overs.
