Nat Sciver-Brunt returns for England against South Africa in semi-final
Summary

England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt is set to return from injury for the Women’s T20 World Cup semi-final against South Africa at The Oval on July 2. She missed England's last three group-stage matches due to a reinjured left calf but has confirmed her fitness after successful batting practice. England achieved five consecutive victories in the group stages without her, and Sciver-Brunt's reinstatement changes the team dynamics, potentially affecting player selection. She acknowledges that someone will be disappointed with the team decision, emphasizing the strong form and confidence of the squad.
