India secured a five-wicket victory over Bangladesh at Old Trafford, with opener Shafali Verma leading the chase in style. Her 53 from 34 balls anchored the innings as India reached 139-5 in 16.5 overs, chasing down Bangladesh's 136-8. Radha Yadav's 3-28 and Sree Charani's 2-21 proved decisive with the ball, though sloppy fielding including four dropped catches in the opening five overs gave Bangladesh chances they couldn't capitalize on.

South Africa demolished the Netherlands by 88 runs in a commanding display. Tazmin Brits smashed an unbeaten 114 from 69 balls, including 15 fours and three sixes, while sharing a 121-run opening stand with captain Laura Wolvaardt. Annerie Dercksen provided late impetus with 37 from 16 balls as the Proteas posted 209-1, their highest total of the tournament.

Both results set up a dramatic final day in Group 2. India must now face Australia at Lord's on Sunday, knowing a win against the six-time champions likely secures semi-final qualification. South Africa's path is narrower - they need victory over Bangladesh and for India to lose, otherwise net run-rate will determine the second qualifier. Even winless Netherlands retain mathematical hope.
