South Africa steamrolled Pakistan by 150 runs in a rain-affected round robin league match to leapfrog to the top of the points table in the Women’s World Cup in Colombo on Tuesday. South Africa now have 10 points from six games and at least for a day, they would be above Australia and England — both on 9 points and pitted against each other on Wednesday at Indore.
After initial delay, the match was curtailed to 40-over per side with South Africa scoring 312 for 9 riding on Laura Wolvaardt’s 90 and half-centuries from Sune Luus (61) and Marizanne Kapp (68). However, multiple rain interruptions forced a further revision, and Pakistan were set a DLS target of 234 in 20 overs. They could manage only 83 for seven in reply.
