# Cricket: The Proteas Women suffered a crushing seven-wicket defeat to Australia in their final World Cup league match in Indore, India. Leg-spinner Alana King delivered a sensational, record-breaking spell of 7/18, decimating the Proteas for a mere 97. Despite Laura Wolvaardt’s early aggression, the middle-order collapsed. Australia comfortably chased the target in just 16.5 overs. Both teams, however, proceed to the semi-finals, with South Africa set to face England on Wednesday. Australia will take on the hosts, India, on Thursday.
