England eye end to 8-year drought at Women’s World Cup

Despite setbacks in past tournaments, fresh leadership under Sciver-Brunt and coach Charlotte Edwards has boosted hopes. England begin their campaign against South Africa in Guwahati, aiming for a semi-final spot with spin-heavy squad selection.
