Proteas face England in T20 World Cup semi-final

South Africa's women cricketers face England in the Women's T20 World Cup semi-final this weekend, a fixture that has become something of a hoodoo for the English side (1). Your team have beaten England at this exact stage before and carry the psychological edge into the knockout clash. It is a welcome mood shift after Bafana Bafana's World Cup exit in the round of 32, where a stoppage-time Stephen Eustáquio goal silenced the dressing room. Hugo Broos' future remains unresolved, with Aubrey Modiba publicly urging the 74-year-old to stay on for the Africa Cup of Nations. For now, the cricket offers something to cheer.
