Defending champions England were on the brink of Women’s Cricket World Cup elimination on Monday while Pakistan’s campaign imploded after Bangladesh made history with their first-ever win at the one-day showcase.
England suffered their third straight defeat of the tournament in New Zealand when South Africa held on for a nail-biting three-wicket win in Mount Maunganui.
