Proteas Women Rise from Early Setback to Reach World Cup Semifinals

Posted : 28 October 2025
After a disastrous start against England, the Proteas Women stormed back with five straight wins to reach the World Cup semifinals.

The Proteas Women began their World Cup campaign on shaky ground, suffering a crushing defeat to England after being bowled out for just 69 runs. It was a tough start, but instead of folding under pressure, South Africa’s women regrouped and came back stronger than ever.

Under the calm leadership of Laura Wolvaardt and the fiery determination of Marizanne Kapp, the Proteas launched an extraordinary comeback. They embarked on a five-match winning streak, defeating New Zealand, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan to climb back into contention.

Their performance against Pakistan in Colombo was especially commanding. Despite rain interruptions, South Africa posted a remarkable 312 runs and went on to claim a 150-run victory via the DLS method, showcasing their adaptability and dominance.

However, the journey hit another bump when they faced Australia in Indore. The Proteas struggled against a devastating spell from Alana King, who took a record-breaking 7 wickets for 18 runs, as South Africa were dismissed for 97. Despite the setback, the team’s morale remained high, viewing the defeat as a lesson rather than a limitation.

Now, as the semifinal clash against England approaches, the Proteas Women stand battle-hardened and confident. Their journey—from an early collapse to a thrilling resurgence—has captured the spirit of resilience and unity.

The Proteas’ World Cup campaign has already been a tale of transformation, and with their eyes now fixed on the trophy, the best may still be yet to come.
