Indore: Alana King produced the best bowling figures in Women’s Cricket World Cup history to clinch top spot in the league stage for Australia.
The leg-spinner dismantled the South African innings on her way to seven for 18, helping dismiss the Proteas for just 97.
Despite losing a couple of early wickets, Australia chased that down in just 16.5 overs, wrapping up a seven-wicket victory.
With the win, Australia continued their perfect run so far in this tournament, winning every game bar a washout against Sri Lanka.
They will now play India in the semi-finals in Navi Mumbai on Thursday, with South Africa having to regroup for their clash with England the day before in Guwahati. (ICC)
