Kapp’s Blistering 81 Powers South Africa Past India in Women's T20 World Cup

Kapp’s unbeaten 81 and a 97-run stand with Tazmin Brits powered South Africa’s chase after their bowlers held India to 158-7.

  • On Sunday at Old Trafford, Marizanne Kapp scored an unbeaten 81 off 45 balls, leading South Africa to a six-wicket victory over India in the Women's T20 World Cup and keeping semifinal hopes alive.
  • South Africa restricted India to 158-7 after bowlers Shabnim Ismail, Ayabonga Khaka, and Kapp squeezed the run rate, halting India's strong start and limiting scoring opportunities.
  • Chasing the target, South Africa struggled early at 45-2 after nine overs; Kapp and Tazmin Brits, South African batter, then anchored a crucial 97-run partnership to steady the innings.
  • Chloe Tryon, South African cricketer, struck the winning boundary with five balls remaining as Kapp finished 81 not out; India captain Harmanpreet Kaur called her "fearless."
  • India must play Australia next Sunday at Lord's to decide semifinal prospects, while the victory keeps South Africa's campaign alive in the tournament.
