England then took control in the third quarter, building a significant lead before South Africa narrowed the gap, ending the quarter down 43-39.

The final quarter saw a tense back-and-forth, with both teams scoring 15 goals each. Ultimately, the 2018 champions England held on to their advantage, maintaining their streak of reaching every Commonwealth Games semi-final since 1998. They are set to face New Zealand in the semi-finals on Saturday.
