Church Crisis
The resignation of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, over historic abuse allegations is a moment of reckoning for the Church of England.
In match 4 of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup between England and South Africa, South Africa skipper Dane van Niekerk has won the toss and chosen to bowl first at Perth’s WACA Ground.

“We are going to bowl. It was quite difficult to defend during the big bash. So we would like to restrict them and chase it down,” van Niekerk said at the toss as quoted by Cricbuzz.
Meanwhile, England skipper Heather Knight also stated that she would have liked to bowl first at this wicket.
“We would have bowled as well. We are excited to start the campaign. We have changes in the management and we have a lot of freshness,” Knight said.
England and South Africa will get their #T20WorldCup campaigns underway in exactly one hour. Who are you backing?
