- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.4 excellent catch at gully! It's Kapp's late movement that does the trick as Rodrigues gets a leading edge in trying to work it to the leg side. Lee flung herself to low to her left to pluck off a stunner. 18/24.3 there's the big wicket! Mandhana shaping to cut but this one keeps a tad low to take a thick bottom edge and keeper Chetty takes an excellent catch diving forward as the ball was dying on her. 16/113.4 pulled straight down to the fine leg fielder. Skiddy pace of Ismail does the trick. Raut hurried into the stroke, gets a top-edge and the catch is well taken. India in trouble 40/337.5 reaches out to pick the gap behind point but ends up hitting it straight to that fielder. It was a full toss, she was looking to carve it away but couldn't. India's recovery is rocked again 154/525.2 oh dear, too aggressive and pays the price. Tossed up, on off, and she comes down the ground to hit it for six. Not timed well, and Ismail at long off takes a simple one. Harmanpreet is dejected 102/439.3 beaten as she looks to paddle this away. This one pitched on a length and fizzed straight on. Deepti also went too far across in trying to help this along. 155/641.2 sliced straight to point. Looking to step out and go inside-out but didn't get to the pitch. Poor from Sushma, her first outing in three years is a forgettable one 158/744.2 taken at point! Length ball, wide, and the slap is in the air. Comfortably taken by Wolvaardt running in 160/849.5 full, outside off. Nudged to point for a quick single. Direct hit at the bowler's end though! Patel was a bit slow to get to the other end, and wasn't stretching to ground the bat. She's short because of the poor technique, and the debutant is out! 175/9Extras17 (b 1, lb 4, w 12)TOTAL177/9 (50 Overs, RR: 3.54)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Smriti Mandhana, 4.3 ov), 2-18 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 5.4 ov), 3-40 (Punam Raut, 13.4 ov), 4-102 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 25.2 ov), 5-154 (Mithali Raj, 37.5 ov), 6-155 (Deepti Sharma, 39.3 ov), 7-158 (Sushma Verma, 41.2 ov), 8-160 (Jhulan Goswami, 44.2 ov), 9-175 (Monica Patel, 49.5 ov)
