Australia Women vs South Africa Women, 3rd Match, Group A, ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 - Player HighlightsAUSW vs RSAW, 3rd Match, Group A, ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 - Player Highlights

Sophie Molineux to Laura Wolvaardt, out Caught by Georgia Wareham!! Is that the game? She struggled with her rhythm right through the innings. Struck a six off the previous ball but with the asking rate over 12 rpo, she had to take more risks and perishes in the process. Flighted outside off, Wolvaardt steps out and looks to go inside out, does not get the elevation or keep it along the ground, hits it straight and low to extra cover. Wareham stays low and laps up a good catch. Laura Wolvaardt c Georgia Wareham b Sophie Molineux 44(39) [4s-2 6s-1]

Wareham runs to her left, picks up the ball cleanly and sends in a flat throw to Gardner, who collects and removes the bails. Kapp puts in the dive but that does not save her.
