Mount Maunganui, March 14

England’s title defence in the Women’s World Cup suffered another jolt after South Africa edged a thrilling chase in the last over by three wickets to hand them their third defeat in as many matches.

The experienced Marizanne Kapp picked up a maiden five-wicket haul to help South Africa restrict the 2017 champions to 235/9 after putting their opponents in to bat.

The 32-year-old then returned to the crease with the bat to contribute a crucial 32 off 42 balls as South Africa chased down their target with four deliveries to spare to register their third consecutive victory. Opening batter Laura Wolvaardt survived a number of missed chances to top-score for South Africa with a 77.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
