    7.4 Mlaba bowls Bates. Too much shuffling around from Bates costs her this time. She moves the other way now - towards off to exploit the area behind square on the leg side. Mlaba fires it in on a length on off and middle, 91kph, and it goes on to hit leg and Bates misses. Contrasting emotions and this is a timely strike 53/2
    1.5 In the air... and gone! Plimmer dies by the sword after living by it. I think tonight's been her most intent-filled innings in terms of percentage, clearly wanting to make use of batting on a dry surface. She charges down to the length ball and looks to tonk it over long-on. Gets more height than distance, enough time for Luus to settle under it and gobble it up. On another look, it seemed she wanted to go over mid-off but the inward movement made her hole out. South Africa deal a blow after getting hit for a bit 16/1
    18.5 Kerr gone! Falls short of fifty. Full length delivery pitched on fifth stump, arm ball, Kerr moves across and pulls this away towards deep midwicket where Brits takes a low catch 141/5
    10.2 De Klerk appeals for an lbw. On a good length with no pace to work with, around off stump, Devine goes for a pull and misses. Gets hit on the thigh. Wolvaardt decides to review this after taking a bit of time. De Klerk is not too interested thought. There is a big gap between bat and pad. Oh wow, three reds light up! Massive, massive call for DRS. Big blow for New Zealand 70/3
    17.2 Tryon breaks the stand! On a good length on the stumps, pace off, Halliday gets down on one knee and pulls this towards on side. Bosch at deep backward square leg collects the ball chest high to send Halliday back to pavilion 127/4

    9.1 Killer blow? New Zealand big time as Kerr runs to hug her bestie Bates! She gets rid of the danger batter Wolvaardt with an enticing ball. Tossed up outside off, she looks to go over cover but finds Bates in the ring. KErr can barely walk but that aggression is clearly visible on her face 59/2
    6.5 Finally the breakthrough, Jonas does it. Brits tries to attack and falls in a bid. Tossed up ball outside off, she dances down to hit over long-on. Finds Green in the deep to perfection. Jonas is so relieved that she runs to hug Green in celebration 51/1
    9.6 Tries again but misses? Or does she? Gaze is excited and so is Kerr, and New Zealand review. Tossed up wide outside off, she is already way outside off, looking to slog it over the on side. Has she edged that? There is a feather on UltraEdge and New Zealand are ecstatic! A limping Kerr is triggering South Africa's downfall in Dubai 64/3
    11.6 Taken! Carson strikes. New Zealand are delighted after a big wicket. Bowls this full and outside off, Kapp gets down to play a sweep but ends up holing out to Plimmer at deep midwicket. Kapp lets out a roar in anger 77/4
    12.1 Another one departs! NZ inching closer to glory. Slow ball full and wide of off, de Klerk comes forward and swings her bat. It comes off the edge to backward point where Kerr takes the catch reverse cup 77/5
    18.1 Tryon departs! South Africa are eight down. Huge, huge wicket. Full length delivery on the stumps, she back away and lofts this straight to long-on. Doesn't get the elevation that she hoped for. What a tournament this has been for Mair 117/8
    15.1 Straight to Bates! South Africa are losing the plot here. Halliday bowls this fuller on the stumps, Luus backs away and hits this to extra cover fielder. Has a look at her bat in disappointment after the shot 97/6
    17.3 Third for Kerr! Tossed up outside off, slower delivery, Dercksen once again throws her bat it towards extra cover. Only to be caught by Bates, who goes to her left to complete the catch 111/7
    18.5 Nine down! Cleans up. Full length delivery, pace off, on the middle stumps, Jafta comes down the track to hit this across but misses it completely. three-for on the big night for Mair 120/9
