Hosts South Africa stormed into the semi-finals of the Women's T20 World Cup with a 10-wicket victory against Bangladesh in Cape Town.

Bangladesh, having opted to bat, lost both their openers inside the powerplay. While Sobhana Mostary & captain Nigar Sultana both got starts, their low strike rates meant Bangladesh could only finish with 113.

In reply, South Africa hardly broke a sweat. Needing a victory to enter the last four, both Laura Wolvaardt & Tazmin Brits found the perfect mix of caution & aggression.

The opening duo scored unbeaten fifties to send South Africa through to the semis, where they'll face England on Friday.
