- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.2 A miscue and Patil strikes! Slows the pace down, 79.1kph, tosses it up and lands it on a length around off and middle. A quiet phase means Wolvaardt is itching to strike one out. Dances down to go over the in-field but gets a top edge to mid-off, where Reddy takes it calmly. India on the board early 19/17.4 brilliant from Harmanpreet at mid-off! Brits gives Deepti the charge but is deceived in the air and off the pitch, but she goes through with the lofted hit and ends up skewing it to the skipper, who dives low to her right from mid-off to take a superb catch. 45/34.6 the premeditation hasn't worked. Kapp was cramped for room as Vastrakar hit hard length on middle, Kapp had decided even before the ball arrived that she'd pull. and got it off the top part of the bat. Shafali couldn't have asked for an easier catch at midwicket. 30/210.2 was she struck outside the line? Bosch has been given out lbw. This is a length ball angled in from wide of the crease, it appeared as if Bosch got outside the line to try and work it square on the leg side. Ultraedge confirms no bat. But ball-tracking confirms impact was in line as some portion of the ball was inside the stumps and it would've crashed into middle. The on-field decision stays, South Africa lose a review. 61/414.3 Straight up, and gone! On a length outside off, 100.7kph, Tryon was itching to free her arms. Goes hard at it but only gets a top edge. Radha calls it early at backward point, takes a few steps forward and pouches it safely 75/710.5 chopped on! More misery for South Africa. Looks like this was a slower length ball that held onto the surface just a touch. de Klerk was into the cut shot, but the length was a touch fuller and the width not there for the stroke. Vastrakar on song 61/512.4 makes the cardinal sin of sweeping against the turn and is struck plumb in front. It was also too full. Derkcsen reviews, but I'm sure she's only going to find out what she knows deep down. Out it is, three reds. That's the second review out of the window 65/616.1 Excellent diving catch from Reddy. Runs diagonally forward from long-on and pouches it with a sprawling dive forward to end Jafta's stay. She dances down the track and looked to go over long-on but only miscued it 84/817.1 All over, South Africa bowled out for 84. Full and outside off, Marx backs away to slice it away but only gets an outside edge. It carries low to Chetry, who pouches it nicely 84/1016.3 Second wicket in the over for Radha. This is as easy as it comes. Lands it on a length outside off, Mlaba looks to go over cover but slices it high in the air. Sajana has here eyes on the ball as she runs to her right from backward point and takes it 84/9Extras2 (w 2)TOTAL84 all out (17.1 Overs, RR: 4.89)Fall of wickets: 1-19 (Laura Wolvaardt, 3.2 ov), 2-30 (Marizanne Kapp, 4.6 ov), 3-45 (Tazmin Brits, 7.4 ov), 4-61 (Anneke Bosch, 10.2 ov), 5-61 (Nadine de Klerk, 10.5 ov), 6-65 (Annerie Dercksen, 12.4 ov), 7-75 (Chloe Tryon, 14.3 ov), 8-84 (Sinalo Jafta, 16.1 ov), 9-84 (Nonkululeko Mlaba, 16.3 ov), 10-84 (Eliz-Mari Marx, 17.1 ov)
