G.Perez27 min ago

England will look to build on an encouraging start to the Women's T20 World Cup as they face a tricky test against South Africa .

The spinners were, predictably, to the fore in England's opener against Bangladesh, with Linsey Smith excelling.

South Africa should provide a sterner test of Heather Knight 's side having beaten them at the semi-final stage on home soil at the last edition of this tournament.

A classy half-century from Laura Wolvaardt carried South Africa to a ten-wicket victory over the West Indies in their first game in the United Arab Emirates.
