Australia's relentless march through the Women's World Cup continued with captain Meg Lanning thrashing an unbeaten century as the tournament favourites dealt South Africa a humbling five-wicket defeat in Wellington on Tuesday.
Meg Lanning produced another masterclass, smashing an unbeaten 135 as six-time champions Australia continued their invincible run with a five-wicket thrashing of South Africa in the ICC Women's World Cup here on Tuesday. Lanning scored her 15th ODI century with 15 hits to the fence and one maximum during her 130-ball unconquered innings to help Australia successfully chase down South Africa's total of 271 for 5 with 28 balls to spare at Basin Reserve. Invited to bat, opener Laura Wolvaardt cracked a 134-ball 90, while skipper Sune Luus (52) notched another half-century as South Africa posted a decent total from their 50 overs. However, it proved inadequate in the end as Lanning took control of Australia's chase and recorded her third World Cup century to lead her team to a comfortable victory. The win further consolidated Australia's position at the top of the table with 12 points from six matches and they are likely to end at the top with just one match to go against Bangladesh in the league stage.

Proteas opener Laura Wolvaardt hopes to convert her half-centuries into centuries ahead of their Women's Cricket World Cup clash against Australia at Basin Reserve.
Proteas skipper Sune Luus says South Africa won't be changing too much despite their close finishes at the ongoing Women's Cricket World Cup.
After registering a two-wicket victory over New Zealand in the ongoing ICC Women's World Cup 2022 on Thursday at Seddon Park, South Africa consolidated their position at number two in the points table. The Sune Luus-led side remains unbeaten in the tournament so far and they now have eight points from four games. On the other hand, New Zealand remained static at the fourth spot with four points from five games. India are at the third spot in the points table with four points from four games. The Mitali Raj-led side will now square off against Australia on Saturday.
After defeating New Zealand in Match 16 of the ongoing ICC Women's World Cup on Thursday, South Africa skipper Sune Luus said that her side is not taking much pressure for the upcoming clash against Australia. Ayabonga Khaka and Shabnim Ismail's fiery spell backed by Laura Wolvaardt's blistering knock helped South Africa to defeat New Zealand by three wickets in the ongoing ICC Women's ODI World Cup here at Seddon Park. "It is a roller-coster of emotions. We probably made it harder than it was supposed to be. But at the end of the day we will take the points and go. I don't think we did too bad, we started off well and had a good powerplay. Devine played a good knock in the middle but we brought back nicely at the end. They were 200 around the 40th over and we did well to restrict them to 228," said Sune Luus after the game.
Women's World Cup on Thursday. Seamers Ayabonga Khaka (3/31), Shabnim Ismail (3/27) and Marizanne Kapp (2/44) led the way with the ball as the Proteas bowled out New Zealand for 228 despite skipper Sophie Devine's 93 at Seddon Park. Laura Wolvaardt (67) and skipper Sune Luus (51) then hit timely half centuries before Kapp (34 not out) ensured South Africa crossed the line for their fourth win of the tournament.
