- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.3 Fraser gets Wolvaardt, and makes amends for the dropped chance earlier! Slightly slower, fuller and wider outside off, enticing Wolvaardt to go inside-out. She takes up the challenge but does not generate the elevation she is after, which brings Bell into play. Bell tracks the ball all the way, leaps high to her left and snares a sharp chance. Massive wicket for Scotland! 64/114.3 holes out to long off! Slower and fuller outside off. Brits, feeling the need to keep attacking, marches down the track. Has a free swing at it but ends up shanking her stroke. No distance on it and Kathryn runs in off the long off fence to complete the catch, albeit via a slight bobble! 119/311.1 Carter among the wickets straightaway - what a day she is having! Dangles the carrot on off stump and Bosch bites. Hares down the track, trying to launch it over mid off but makes a complete mess of the stroke. Slices across it too much and Kathryn, running back from mid off, makes no mistake whatsoever! 89/217.4 gone this time! Scotland's star all-rounder takes out South Africa's star all-rounder! Fullish outside off. Kapp knows there is no one on the fence on the off side and chances her arm. Loses her shape a smidgen, though, and that means the bat face opens upon contact. Slices it tamely and Carter gobbles up the chance at point, high to her left. A very enterprising knock, though, and it has set South Africa up very nicely! 147/418.6 in the air and taken at long on! In the slot outside off and ordinarily, that is in Tryon's arc. She launches it high up but that may have come off the bottom part of the bat. Horley settles herself under it and snaffles up the chance! 160/5Extras8 (b 4, w 4)TOTAL166/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.3)Fall of wickets: 1-64 (Laura Wolvaardt, 7.3 ov), 2-89 (Anneke Bosch, 11.1 ov), 3-119 (Tazmin Brits, 14.3 ov), 4-147 (Marizanne Kapp, 17.4 ov), 5-160 (Chloe Tryon, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 another easy catch, and South Africa, just like that, have two in the powerplay! Back of a length outside off. Bounces a touch extra and seems to grip in the surface. The spongy bounce means the ball hits near the splice and Horley chips it straight to Brits at extra cover! 16/22.5 the softest of dismissals, and Tryon has her first wicket at this year's T20 World Cup! Back of a length delivery on leg stump. Seems an innocuous delivery but the ball sticks in the surface just enough to cause the miscue. Sarah closes her bat face too early and the ball pops up tamely for the easiest of return catches! 14/15.3 another leading edge, and Kathryn Bryce meets the same fate as Sarah Brycer! Fizzed in on a length on middle and leg. Kathryn thinks she can work this with the angle but the ball stops on her just enough. Spoons up off the leading edge and Tryon cannot believe her luck. A second simple return catch, and South Africa are well on their way now! 30/36.6 knocks her over with a gorgeous delivery! Crafty, crafty stuff from Mlaba. Flighted up nicely on a length on middle and leg. Lister hares down the track, only to realize she is not to the pitch of it. Continues with her attempted inside-out drive but only connects with fresh air. The ball spins past the bat and knocks back off stump. Mlaba is all smiles, and Scotland are now four down! 38/47.2 that will be that for Priyanaz Chatterji! Pushed in on a length on middle and off. Chatterji, rather ambitiously, looks for the scoop. Gets into a bit of a tangle and does not have the room she would have ordinarily wanted. Hears the rattle soon after, and de Klerk's cry of celebration a little later. Scotland staring down the barrel! 39/58.1 stumps disturbed again, and Mlaba has two! Floated up full just outside leg. Carter looks for the sweep but the ball is too full to be playing that stroke. The ball sneaks under her swipe, and then grips in the surface to spin back towards the stumps. Mlaba might not have planned that, but she will take it nevertheless! 45/611.2 oh, hello - put a cape on Sune Luus! Given a bit of air on a full length outside off. Jack-Brown tries to go downtown but does not get the elevation or the power. Clinks it to Luus' left and it seems for the longest while that the ball will evade her. Until....she flies to her left and grabs it with both hands. So many catches have gone down this tournament, but this is right up there with the very best! 56/716.1 a spectacular grab and this time, it is Anneke Bosch! Lobbed up beautifully on a fullish length outside off. Fraser skips down and has a whoosh at it. Cuts across it too much, though, and the ball swirls off the outside edge towards backward point. Bosch judges it to perfection and swoops forward to snare the chance! South Africa have been largely excellent in the field today! 82/912.4 plonked to cover, and Slater has to depart! Zipped in on a length on middle and off. Slater backs away and aims to crash it over cover. The bat face turns upon contact, though, and she chips it straight to Wolvaardt, who was never going to drop that. SA two wickets away from a huge win! 67/817.5 that will be that! Another smart catch to cap off a thoroughly clinical display! Off-pace again, hung up on a length outside off. Maqsood has a wild swipe at it and miscues it completely. The ball floats up off the leading edge and Mlaba dives forward to her left at short third to seal the deal for South Africa. They move up to four points and retain control of their semi-final hopes! 86/10Extras11 (lb 3, w 8)TOTAL86 all out (17.5 Overs, RR: 4.82)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Sarah Bryce, 2.5 ov), 2-16 (Saskia Horley, 3.4 ov), 3-30 (Kathryn Bryce, 5.3 ov), 4-38 (Ailsa Lister, 6.6 ov), 5-39 (Priyanaz Chatterji, 7.2 ov), 6-45 (Darcey Carter, 8.1 ov), 7-56 (Lorna Jack-Brown, 11.2 ov), 8-67 (Rachel Slater, 12.4 ov), 9-82 (Katherine Fraser, 16.1 ov), 10-86 (Abtaha Maqsood, 17.5 ov)
