An all-round performance from Marizanne Kapp helped the Proteas women clinch a thumping, farcical weather affected 150-run win over Pakistan in their World Cup pool match at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Tuesday night, to move top of the log with one game remaining.
Their fifth straight win from six games sees the Proteas on 10 points, one ahead of Australia and England, who both have played five, but face each other in Indore on Wednesday.
It is an amazing turnaround after the Proteas were bowled out for 69 and hammered by 10 wickets by England in their tournament opener, but have responded by winning everything since, starting against New Zealand, followed by India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and now Pakistan.
