What are the highlights of South Africa Women vs England Women?
Highlights of the 2025 World Cup Semi-Final
- South Africa’s innings featured a 225-run partnership between Laura Wolvaardt (169) and Marizanne Kapp (75) — the highest second-wicket stand in Women’s World Cup history. (ECB highlights)
- Kapp then took 5/20, dismantling England’s top order. (ICC video)
- England’s reply: Nat Sciver-Brunt (64) and Alice Capsey (50) fought back, but the early loss of Tammy Beaumont (0) and Heather Knight (0) proved fatal. (ESPNcricinfo Africa)
Where to watch highlights
- JioHotstar (Indian subcontinent) — official streaming partner
- ICC website — free match highlights available globally (ICC)
- ECB YouTube channel — England-specific cut of the semi-final (ECB)
The pattern: both teams produced match-changing moments, but Wolvaardt’s century and Kapp’s all-round performance defined the result. For England, the lack of early stability in the semi-final stands in stark contrast to their 2022 ODI series dominance.
What is the head-to-head record in ODIs and T20Is?
Two formats, five years of data — and the balance has shifted sharply.
| Format | Most recent result | 2022 series result | Key trend |
|---|---|---|---|
| ODI | SA win by 125 runs (2025 World Cup SF) | England win 3-0 | South Africa peaked when it mattered most |
| T20I | England win by 10 wickets | No series data in research | England remain strong in shortest format |
| Overall (limited research) | 1 win each in most recent encounters | — | Head-to-head is tightly contested |
- England won the 2022 ODI series 3-0 on home soil, with wins at Worcester, Bristol, and Canterbury. (ESPNcricinfo (series hub))
- The 2025 semi-final was South Africa’s first ODI win over England in three attempts.
The trade-off: England’s historical edge in bilateral series is real, but South Africa proved that a single knockout performance can rewrite the narrative, especially on a subcontinental surface that suited their spinners.
What is the result of the most recent match?
Last ODI result
- South Africa Women won by 125 runs — 29 October 2025, Guwahati. South Africa posted 319/7; England were bowled out for 194 in 42.3 overs. (ICC match page)
Last T20I result
- England Women won by 10 wickets — date not precisely available in match summaries. England chased without losing a wicket, suggesting a dominant bowling and batting display.
Why this matters: the two most recent matches show a split — each team winning convincingly in their preferred format. For South Africa, the ODI win in the semi-final broke a pattern of knockout heartbreak. For England, the T20I win confirms they remain a force in the shortest format, but the semi-final defeat exposes frailties against high-quality pace bowling.
Laura Wolvaardt’s 169-run innings in the semi-final is not just a personal milestone — it’s the highest individual score by any player in a Women’s World Cup semi-final. For England, the collapse to 2 for 2 inside the first over highlights a vulnerability that experienced bowling attacks will continue to exploit.

What we know and what remains uncertain
Confirmed facts
- South Africa Women won the 2025 World Cup Semi-Final by 125 runs (ICC)
- Laura Wolvaardt scored 169 runs in that match (ECB)
- Marizanne Kapp took 5 wickets for 20 runs (ICC match page)
- England won the 2022 ODI series 3-0 (ESPNcricinfo)
- South Africa qualified for their first ICC Women’s World Cup Final (ICC)
What’s unclear
- Exact date of the T20I match (not published in the sourced videos or match pages)
- Next scheduled fixture between South Africa Women and England Women
- Complete bowling figures for the T20I (not available in research sources)
- England won the most recent T20I by 10 wickets — date and full details remain unconfirmed in published match summaries
“Dominant South Africa punch ticket to the final — a comprehensive 125-run victory underpinned by Wolvaardt’s masterclass and Kapp’s five-wicket haul.”
— ICC match highlight summary (ICC (tournament organisers))
“Wolvaardt and Kapp guide South Africa past England and into the final — a record partnership that turned the semi-final decisively in South Africa’s favour.”
— ECB highlights page (ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board))
England’s early batting collapse in the semi-final — losing both openers for ducks inside the first over — is a pattern that South Africa’s pace attack will try to repeat in future encounters. For England, shoring up the top order against quality swing bowling is priority number one.
The 2025 semi-final result does more than send South Africa to their first World Cup final — it rewrites the competitive hierarchy between these two sides. For South Africa, the blueprint is clear: build big partnerships and let the fast bowlers attack the stumps. For England, the challenge is just as clear: fix the top-order fragility that has now cost them in back-to-back major tournaments, or risk falling behind in the next cycle.
This dominance was most recently underscored by a comprehensive semi-final victory that eliminated England from the 2025 World Cup.
