South Africa Leads WWC 2025, Eliminates Pakistan From Semis Race

In the Women's World Cup 2025, South Africa secured a commanding 150-run victory over Pakistan via the DLS method in a rain-affected match, propelling them to the top of the points table and ensuring their place in the semi-finals. South Africa posted an imposing total of 312-9, with Laura Wolvaardt scoring 90 and half-centuries from Sune Luus and Marizanne Kapp, who also excelled with the ball by taking key wickets to dismantle Pakistan's chase. Pakistan, struggling with multiple rain interruptions and a revised target, managed only 83-7 in their innings, effectively ending their hopes of progressing to the semi-finals. Despite some promising bowling performances earlier in the tournament, Pakistan has remained winless with two abandoned games, placing their knockout chances in jeopardy. The tournament's challenging weather conditions have further complicated Pakistan's efforts, while South Africa continues to demonstrate strong all-round performances. South Africa now leads the group, ahead of Australia and England, who are closely trailing in points.
