The Bangladesh national women's team was eliminated from the ongoing edition of the ICC Women's World Cup after four consecutive losses in the marquee tournament, as their South African counterpart thrashed them by 10 wickets in their fourth and final Group 1 match on Wednesday in Cape Town.

South Africa won with 13 balls to spare after restricting Bangladesh to 113 for six. Laura Wolvaardt made 66, not out, and Tazmin Brits was unbeaten on 50.

Wolvaardt was given out leg before wicket to Marufa Akter, Bangladesh’s impressive 18-year-old opening bowler, before a run had been scored, but survived on review.

Tazmin Brits was dropped off by Nahida Akter in the next over, and Wolvaardt should have been run out in the third over.

Group One winners Australia will play Group Two runners-up India on Thursday, with England and South Africa meeting on Friday.

Both the semi-finals and Sunday's final will be played at Newlands.
