South Africa claimed a comprehensive victory against Pakistan in a rain-affected Women's World Cup match, winning by 150 runs and leaping to the top of the points table. This achievement temporarily puts them ahead of Australia and England.

After weather delays shortened the match to 40 overs per side, South Africa posted an imposing 312 for 9, led by Laura Wolvaardt's 90 and significant contributions from Sune Luus and Marizanne Kapp. Rain-adjusted conditions left Pakistan needing 234 in 20 overs.

Despite the revised target, Pakistan faltered, managing only 83 for seven. Marizanne Kapp was instrumental, taking three wickets and further dampening Pakistan's chase dreams, as South Africa gained two well-earned points.
