Tammy Beaumont's unbeaten 65 helps England win a rain-affected third one-day international in Potchefstroom, and seal a 2-1 series win.
England beat South Africa by six wickets in a rain-affected encounter in Potchefstroom to secure a 2-1 one-day international series win.
Opener Maia Bouchier fell for four after mistiming a pull shot in Kapp's first over, and Nat Sciver-Brunt was promoted to number three but was caught at point for a duck just two balls later. England had earlier restricted the hosts to 233-8 from their 50 overs, as captain Laura Wolvaardt top-scored with a fluent 61 from 68 balls at the top of the order.
It took England some time to adapt without the experienced Cross, who suffered a back spasm just five balls into the match and her consistency was missed in the powerplay as Wolvaardt and Lara Goodall notched an opening stand of 50.
