South Africa continued their impressive run in the Women’s World Cup, crushing Sri Lanka by 10 wickets with 31 balls to spare on Friday, October 17, at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. In another rain-affected encounter, the Proteas notched their fourth consecutive victory after a shaky start to the tournament that saw them bowled out for just 69 in a 10-wicket defeat to England.

The win propelled South Africa to second place in the points table. With eight points and a net run rate of -0.440, they have strengthened their chances of securing a semi-final spot. For Sri Lanka, the loss leaves them winless in the competition, and they must win both of their remaining matches to keep semi-final hopes alive.
