Leg-spinner Alana King’s spellbinding wizardry (7-18 in seven overs) formed the cornerstone of Australia’s seven-wicket triumph over South Africa here on Saturday.
With the win, Australia secured the top spot in the league stage and will face hosts India in the semi-finals at Navi Mumbai on Thursday.
King’s artistry was on full display as she ran through South Africa’s batting line-up to bowl them out for 97 in just 24 overs.
The Australian’s then overhauled the target with 199 balls to spare, as Beth Mooney emerged as the top scorer (42 off 41 balls).
