Australia beat South Africa by 59 runs: Women’s World Cup – as it happened

Australia were just too strong for South Africa and set up a semi-final against India, who thrashed New Zealand, in Derby on Thursday.

This seems as good a time as any for me to bid you farewell. Australia were just two good there, too clinical for South Africa, who face England now. Can’t escape the sense that the final will be between England and Australia, which really would be great fun. There will be reports on the site shortly no doubt, and I will be back on Tuesday with Vish Ehantharajah for England’s semi-final with South Africa. Until then! Have a great weekend…
