India, Pakistan knocked out of ICC Women World Cup

Pakistan and Indian women crashed out of ICC Women World Cup on Tuesday and set-up a clash for the seventh-place play-off match.

England and Australia topped group A and B respectively while New Zealand, Sri Lanka, West Indies and South Africa completed the super six line-up of the event.

Riding on a splendid all-round display from Marizanne Kapp, South Africa routed Pakistan by 126 runs in Cuttack to register their first win in this World Cup and qualify for the Super Six round.

Kapp scored her maiden hundred and was involved in record stand for the sixth wicket with Dane van Niekerk.

She also contributed with the ball, taking three wickets for 18 runs, as Pakistan were dismissed for 81. 

India were knocked out of the World Cup after suffering an upset 138-run drubbing at the hands of Sri Lanka in a crucial Group A encounter.

Chasing an imposing total of 283, the hosts put up a pathetic show to be bowled out for 144 in 42.2 overs at the Brabourne Stadium.

This was India's first defeat to Sri Lanka in 18 matches, having won their previous 16 encounters with one ending in no result.

Earlier, Sri Lanka's batting fired in unison as they posted a competitive 282 for five.

Deepika Rasangika led the way with a knock of 84 while Kaushalya provided the late impetus with a breezy, unbeaten 31-ball 56 to propel the visitors.
Yashoda Mendis (55) and Shashikala Siriwardene (56) were the other contributors for Sri Lanka.

India will play Pakistan for the seventh position in Cuttack on Thursday.
