England were the first team to qualify for the final of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2017 after they beat South Africa by two wickets in the semi-final. Chasing a target of 219 runs, England were cruising in the chase before three quick wickets, first of which was Sarah Taylor, gave South Africa a chance to come back and they took the game to the last over before England kept their nerves to win off the penultimate ball of the match. India face Australia in the other semi-final on Thursday.
TEAMS:
England: L Winfield, T Beaumont, S Taylor (wk), H Knight*, N Sciver, F Wilson, K Brunt, J Gunn, A Shrubsole, L Marsh, A Hartley
