Cricket: SA put one foot in the semis after seeing off Sri Lanka

# Cricket: South Africa have one foot in the semifinals of the 2025 Women’s World Cup after opening pair Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits produced a sparkling display, demolishing co-hosts Sri Lanka by 10 wickets in Colombo on Friday. The Proteas cruised to a faultless pursuit of a revised 121 victory target, with 31 balls to spare of their shortened 20-over innings. They have now moved up to second place on the log, a point behind Australia, who already qualified. A win over Pakistan on Tuesday would seal the deal for Wolvaardt’s side.
