7.5: Beloved Biza to Shafali Verma, OUT! CAUGHT! Fifty and out for Verma. But she has done her job for her side. Tossed up on the stumps, 72.2 kph, and Shafali dances down the track to launch it over long on, but she mistimes it and the ball doesn’t carry the distance. It goes up plenty high, and Tendai Makusha, waiting on the boundary, moves to her right and takes a very good catch on the second attempt. That ends a scintillating knock from Shafali. India Women are 96/1, needing just 7 runs to win.
7.4: Beloved Biza to Shafali Verma, SIX! That has got a flight number attached to it. FIFTY FOR SHAFALI VERMA! From just 24 balls, and that's her 22nd T20I half-century. This is Shafali at her very best. She reads the fuller one early and skips out of the crease before unleashing a muscly heave over deep mid-wicket for a massive six.
7.3: Beloved Biza to Smriti Mandhana, At 78 kph, this is landed on a length, on middle, Mandhana plays the 'Nataraja' shot to deep mid-wicket for a single.

7.1: Beloved Biza to Smriti Mandhana, Shortish delivery, around off, Mandhana rocks back and punches it wide of long off for a single.
6.6: Olinder Chare to Smriti Mandhana, Fuller ball, on off, pushed away to long off for an easy single.
6.5: Olinder Chare to Smriti Mandhana, SIX! WOWZA! Dropped on a fullish length, in front of the sticks. Smriti Mandhana picks the length early, dances down the track and magically powers it over deep mid-wicket for a cracking six. That's gone 85 meters away.
6.4: Olinder Chare to Shafali Verma, An in-dipper, full on middle, Shafali advances down the track and yorks herself. Perhaps looks for a big shot but ends up carving the ball down to long on for a single.
6.3: Olinder Chare to Smriti Mandhana, Back to around the stump. It is a length-delivery on the leg stump, Smriti takes a step across and whips it to deep mid-wicket for another single.
6.2: Olinder Chare to Shafali Verma, Shortens the length from over the stump, outside off, Verma backs away and punches it to deep extra cover for an easy single.

19.6: Kranti Gaud to Josephine Nkomo, OUT! FRANCISCA CHIPARE IS RUN OUT! Gaud continues to nail her yorkers, on off. Nkomo digs it out towards backward point and sets off for a run. The fielder has a shy at the batting end but misses. As the ball rolls towards deep square leg, the batters attempt a second run. Chipare is happy with one, but her partner pushes her to go for the second. The throw comes in from deep towards the bowling end with both batters stranded at the batting end. Gaud has the option of walking up to the stumps to dislodge the bails, but instead goes for an underarm throw and hits the stumps to catch Chipare short.
19.5: Kranti Gaud to Josephine Nkomo, Executes another yorker, on middle. Josephine Nkomo squeezes it out back to the bowler.

19.3: Kranti Gaud to Josephine Nkomo, Hits the good length, around off. Josephine Nkomo looks to launch it back over the bowler's head but mistimes the shot to mid off.
19.2: Kranti Gaud to Josephine Nkomo, Run out chance missed! Bowled on a short of a length, on middle. Josephine Nkomo swings it away wide of deep mid-wicket and comes charging back for the second run. Francisca Chipare is struggling to make her ground as the throw comes in from the deep. Gaud cannot get up to the stumps in time, and after gathering the ball, she tries to flick it onto the sticks but misses, allowing Chipare to make her ground.
19.1: Kranti Gaud to Josephine Nkomo, Gets the yorker in at the toes. Josephine Nkomo steps out but manages to dig it out back to the bowler.
18.6: Sree Charani to Francisca Chipare, Attacking the sticks, and the length stays full. Francisca Chipare defends it watchfully with a straight bat.
18.5: Sree Charani to Francisca Chipare, Full and drifting in, on middle. Chipare pushes out in front of her body. Chips it well in front of the fielder at cover.
18.4: Sree Charani to Francisca Chipare, Floated up, on middle. Francisca Chipare presents a straight bat to block it out.
18.3: Sree Charani to Michelle Mavunga, OUT! CAUGHT! That is a spectacular diving catch. Charani drops it short, on middle. Michelle Mavunga rocks back for the pull but gets it high on the bat, spooning it towards deep mid-wicket. Niki Prasad comes charging in off the ropes and dives forward to take the catch. The on-field umpires want to be sure and they refer it upstairs. The replays confirm that Niki was in complete control of the ball and at no point did the ball come in contact with the ground.
18.2: Sree Charani to Michelle Mavunga, Doing too much? Full and fired into the pads. Mavunga has a swipe across the line and is beaten past the inside edge to get hit on the pads. Seemed to be going down leg and there were two noises so there might have been an inside edge as well.
18.1: Sree Charani to Josephine Nkomo, Low full toss, darted in on middle and leg. Josephine Nkomo steps out and whips it towards long on for a single.
17.6: Arundhati Reddy to Michelle Mavunga, FOUR! Crunched! Full and outside off. Michelle Mavunga gets the width to free her arms and she gets her hands through the line of the ball to power the drive past extra cover for a four.
17.5: Arundhati Reddy to Michelle Mavunga, On a back of a length, on middle. Michelle Mavunga pushes it to cover.
17.4: Arundhati Reddy to Modester Mupachikwa, OUT! MODESTER MUPACHIKWA IS RUN OUT! There was never a run there and Mupachikwa has paid the price. Bowled on a length, outside off. Modester walks across the stumps for the scoop and gets more off the toe end of the blade. As the ball dribbles towards short fine leg, she sets off for the run but her partner is going nowhere and Modester is sent back. Sree Charani swoops in and fires in an accurate throw near the stumps. Richa Ghosh gathers and breaks the stumps. The third umpire is called into action. There is no doubt that Modester is short of her ground but the third umpire wants to be sure that Ghosh is in complete control of the ball and she is happy with Ghosh's effort looking at the best possible angle.
17.3: Arundhati Reddy to Josephine Nkomo, Slips in the yorker, on middle. Josephine Nkomo jams it out towards mid-wicket for one.

8.5: Olinder Chare to Smriti Mandhana, SIX! Done and dusted in some style by the captain. She has made that shot look so easy on the eyes. INDIA WIN BY 9 WICKETS AND 67 BALLS TO SPARE! Nicely tossed up, wide outside off. Mandhana jumps down the track, gets right underneath it and swings through the line. It pings right off the middle of the bat, and soars over the wide long off fence for a six.
