South Africa will look to make it to the finals of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup for the third edition in a row when they take on hosts England in the second semi-final of the 2026 tournament. The winner of this match on Thursday at the Kennington Oval in London between England and the Proteas will play Australia in the final. Dip into our match predictions to find who has an edge.
England are the 2009 champions and are looking to reach the final for the first time since 2018. South Africa have never won the tournament and have finished as runners-up in the last two editions.
The hosts finished top of Group B with a perfect winning record (W5). They won every game quite comprehensively, with only Ireland (four wickets) stretching them. Danni Wyatt-Hodge (282 runs, 1x100, 2x50) will be the key batter for England, while their bowlers have collectively shared the load.
South Africa finished second behind Australia in Group A with four wins (L1). The Proteas were beaten in their first match, comprehensively by Australia (65 runs), but slowly picked steam and eventually pipped India to the second spot. Tazmin Brits (174 runs) remains South Africa’s best batter of the tournament, while the bowlers have combined well, led by the all-round skills of Marizanne Kapp (119 runs, seven wickets).

Our England vs South Africa Prediction
After a first-round exit in the last edition, which was preceded by six consecutive semifinal appearances, England are back in the last four. This time, they would be keen to repeat their heroics from 2009, their only success in the T20 World Cup tournament. Their form in this tournament gives quiet confidence, although South Africa will feel they have peaked at the right moment.
England have won four of their last six World Cup T20s against South Africa and look good to add to that count. Our England vs South Africa prediction is England wins.
