Nat Sciver-Brunt’s Unbeaten 48 Guides England Home<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Chasing 125 runs, England got off to a rocky start as they lost opener Maia Bouchier in the fifth over but the other opener in Danielle Wyatt-Hodge played the anchor role to give England an upper hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n

South Africa, however, looked like making a comeback as they bagged Alice Capsey\u2019s wicket in the middle phase of the innings and then also sent Wyatt-Hodge packing but Nat Sciver-Brunt made sure that that was the last wicket that South Africa got as she got the Three Lions over the line with a match-winning 36-ball 48 runs knock.<\/p>\n

With the win, England now sit at the top of the Group B points table with four points in two games and with the Net Run Rate of (NRR) of +0.653.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
