Updated Women's World Cup 2025 Points Table After England Defeat South Africa

The result gave England a huge Net Run Rate boost, lifting them straight to the top of the table in their opening match.

Updated Women’s World Cup 2025 Points Table: South Africa endured a nightmare start in Guwahati as Linsey Smith ripped through their batting order, producing a stunning spell of 3 wickets for just 7 runs in her first three overs.

The Proteas lost their first wicket at nine, and from there the collapse was swift, with Sinalo Jafta (22) the only player to offer any resistance.

The innings folded for just 69 runs, South Africa’s second-lowest total in Women’s World Cup history. Ten batters failed to reach double figures as England’s attack shared the spoils - Smith finishing with three, while Nat Sciver-Brunt, Sophie Ecclestone, and Charlie Dean picked up two apiece. Lauren Bell chipped in with one.

Chasing was a formality, as Amy Jones (40 off 50) and Tammy Beaumont (21)* knocked off the runs in just 14.1 overs, securing a crushing 10-wicket win. It was England’s fourth-largest victory in terms of balls to spare, with 215 deliveries unused.

The result gave England a huge Net Run Rate boost, lifting them straight to the top of the table in their opening match. Australia, Bangladesh, and India also remain unbeaten after their first outings.
