45.3: Deepti Sharma to Nadine De Klerk, OUT! IN THE AIR.....GONE! INDIA WOMEN ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER! More than 40,000, and billions watching at home - this is a moment to cherish forever, and the emotions are pouring out from the girls. Coming to the delivery, Deepti Sharma tosses it up, a full toss outside off, keeping it away from the batter. Nadine De Klerk makes room to go over covers but has to reach out and fails to get the timing. It flies over extra covers, where Harmanpreet Kaur times her leap to perfection and grabs it with two hands over her head. It is fitting that the catch is taken by the Indian skipper, and Deepti wraps up the World Cup with a fifer. Every Indian player surrounds Kaur in celebration, and tears of joy roll down their faces. INDIA WOMEN WIN THE FINAL BY 52 RUNS!

Sree Charani drops it short again, on off, Nadine De Klerk steers it towards backward point and sets off for the run to retain the strike. Ayabonga Khaka responds but Deepti Sharma is quicker and throws it at the keeper's end, where Richa Ghosh does the rest. The square leg umpire gives it out on-field with the help of the smart replay. South Africa Women are 246/9 now!

44.5: Sree Charani to Nadine De Klerk, FOUR! 14 runs already with one ball to go! Sree Charani bowls this short and on middle, Nadine De Klerk gets on the back foot early and pulls it away to the deep square leg fence for four runs.

4
44.4: Sree Charani to Nadine De Klerk, FOUR! Much-needed for South Africa Women! Dragged down and on middle, Nadine De Klerk rocks back a bit and heaves it towards the deep mid-wicket fence for a boundary. 63 needed in 32 now!

43.4: Renuka Singh Thakur to Nadine De Klerk, DROPPED AGAIN! Jemimah Rodrigues of all people! Pitched up and around middle, Nadine De Klerk gets her front leg out and slogs it but straight towards deep square leg. Rodrigues runs in but spills out a sitter here. Can Nadine De Klerk do what she did to India in the league stage?

1

Fuller one and on middle, Ayabonga Khaka looks to work it across off the back foot, but gets a leading edge wide of the bowler's left.

IND298/7
IND-W Batting R Yadav 3(3) D Sharma 58(58)

1
49.6: Nadine De Klerk to Radha Yadav, OUT! DEEPTI SHARMA IS RUN OUT! A full toss on middle and off, and Radha swings hard, aiming for the stands but loses all shape in the process and the bat slips out of her hands as well. The ball is sliced off the outer half of the bat, and rolls past backward point. Both batters initially commit to the second run, but Deepti is a bit slow to turn around to cross over. The fielder, Chloe Tryon, spots Deepti way out of the crease and throws it to the keeper. Sinalo Jafta has ample time to collect the ball and whip the bails off. Since the batters didn't cross each other, it is Deepti who has to walk back. Just six singles off the final over. INDIA WOMEN FINISH ON 298/7

1
49.5: Nadine De Klerk to Deepti Sharma, IN THE AIR... LANDS SHORT! Slower ball, pitched on a length outside off. Deepti steps out and goes for the big shot, but overreaches and loses control of the bottom hand. Ends up slicing it on the bounce to long on. Surprisingly, she doesn’t consider a second run. Radha is already more than halfway through, but has to retreat.

1
49.4: Nadine De Klerk to Radha Yadav, Excellent bowling! Full and on off, Radha Yadav works it to mid off for a single.

1
49.3: Nadine De Klerk to Deepti Sharma, Almost dragged on! De Klerk spots Deepti advancing down the track and bowls it wide outside off, on a fuller length. Deepti Sharma throws her bat at it but gets an inside edge. The ball bounces past the stumps and beats the keeper to her right before rolling behind for a single.

1
49.2: Nadine De Klerk to Radha Yadav, Full and on middle and leg, Radha Yadav heaves off the toe end of the bat to deep square leg for a single.

48.6: Ayabonga Khaka to Richa Ghosh, OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Ayabonga Khaka gets her third wicket. She bowls it smartly as she sees Richa shuffling to the leg side. Khaka follows the batter and spears it full on the leg stump line, giving very little room for Richa to work with. Ghosh uses her wrists to loft it over deep square leg, but gets no distance whatsoever and sails it straight to Annerie Dercksen stationed in the deep. Richa Ghosh departs after a breezy 34 off 24 balls and India Women are 292/6.

1
48.5: Ayabonga Khaka to Deepti Sharma, A dipping full toss, on the leg stump line. Deepti Sharma whips it away to deep square leg for a single.

4
48.4: Ayabonga Khaka to Deepti Sharma, FOUR! That will help! A loosener from Khaka as this is the full toss, outside off. Deepti Sharma crouches low and smashes it over extra cover for a cracking boundary. India inch closer to that 300-run mark.

1
48.3: Ayabonga Khaka to Richa Ghosh, This one tails into the batter, on a fuller length, Richa walks forward and drills it to long on for a single.

IND-W Batting R Ghosh 33(20) D Sharma 50(53)

47.6: Marizanne Kapp to Richa Ghosh, IN THE AIR AND DROPPED! Anneke Bosch drops another and Kapp is staring at Bosch in frustration. Slips in a full toss, does Kapp. On middle. Richa Ghosh does not properly get under the ball to pull it over deep square leg as the line is a bit too close to execute the shot. Hence, she does not manage to generate enough power to clear the fence. The ball dips in front of Anneke Bosch at deep square leg, who moves in front to take the catch, but fails to read the trajectory, dives in front but fails to cling on to it. Oh, hang on, the third umpire checks for a No Ball, but the technology shows it is just dipping below the waist. So, it is deemed a fair delivery.

1
47.5: Marizanne Kapp to Deepti Sharma, FIFTY FOR DEEPTI SHARMA! Her 18th ODI half century and this could well prove to be a decisive knock for her side. Her 6th fifty against South Africa and the third in this World Cup alone. On a good length, on the pads, Deepti Sharma steers it to deep backward square leg for a single to get to her milestone.

1
47.4: Marizanne Kapp to Richa Ghosh, Full toss, outside off, Richa Ghosh drives it to the left of long off for a single.

6
47.3: Marizanne Kapp to Richa Ghosh, SIX! BRUTE FORCE! Kapp misses her line and length slightly, as this is full and around off. Richa Ghosh swings through the line and smokes it over deep extra cover for a six. She has picked the bones out of it.

0
47.2: Marizanne Kapp to Richa Ghosh, Another yorker, on middle and leg, Richa Ghosh walks forward by creating room and drives it away, but finds the fielder at mid off once again.

0
47.1: Marizanne Kapp to Richa Ghosh, Well-executed yorker, on middle, Richa Ghosh jams the bat down and shovels it to mid off.
