INDORE, India (AP) — Wrist spinner Alana King took a record 7-18 as Australia thrashed South Africa by seven wickets in their final league game of the Women’s Cricket World Cup on Saturday.
King’s seven-over spell routed South Africa for just 97 runs in 24 overs, while Australia chased it down with 98-3 in only 16.5 overs.
It was the best-ever bowling spell at the Women’s Cricket World Cup — the first instance of a seven-wicket haul in tournament history.
King surpassed Jacqueline Lord’s 6-10 for New Zealand against India in 1982.
It was South Africa’s lowest total against Australia in ODIs. Skipper Laura Wolvaardt top-scored with 31.
In reply, Beth Mooney (42) and Georgia Voll (38 not out) headlined Australia’s chase.
The win ended South Africa’s five-match winning streak, as defend
