Proteas Women suffer power failure as England cruise through to T20 World Cup final at Lord's

Proteas all-rounder Chloe Tryon is clean bowled in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup semi-final defeat to England at The Oval on Thursday.

The Proteas’ dreams of reaching a third consecutive ICC Women’s T20 World Cup final were dashed at The Oval on Thursday evening.

Laura Wolvaardt’s team suffered a power failure when it mattered most and this "Golden Generation" of Proteas’ Women’s cricketers quest for a major ICC trophy will remain after England ran out comfortable victors by 40 runs in the second semi-final.

England will now face Australia in the final at Lord's on Sunday.

Everything started according to the playbook with the Proteas’ premier pacers Shabnim Ismail (2/31) and Marizanne Kapp (1/16) providing the perfect start with three early English wickets in the Powerplay.
