Hosts South Africa have booked a T20 World Cup semi-final showdown against England after cruising to an emphatic 10-wicket victory over Bangladesh in their final Group 1 match.

England's Nat Sciver-Brunt is the form batter in the world, according to Tammy Beaumont, who also praised Katherine Sciver-Brunt's display in England's emphatic T20 World Cup victory over Pakistan.

Pakistan were penalised five penalty runs due to the ball dropping onto the discarded wicketkeeper's glove against England.

England Lions slipped to a 2-1 series defeat against Sri Lanka A after the hosts earned a six-wicket win in the final unofficial ODI in Colombo.

England piled on the highest Women's T20 World Cup score of 213-5 before beating Pakistan by a record 114 runs in Cape Town to avoid a semi-final with favourites Australia.

Ben Foakes is not allowing the prospect of Jonny Bairstow's return to unsettle him as he continues to make his case as England's safe pair of hands.
