19.1: Nandni Sharma to Chloe Tryon, FOUR! Edged away! That's it. South Africa win by 6 wickets with 5 balls to spare. Skidding through, on a back of a length, outside off. Tryon throws her hands at the ball. It goes past short third off an outside edge and down to the fence. Hugs and smiles all around in the Proteas camp as they pick up vital two points and hand India their first defeat of the tournament. According to the on-air commentators, this is the third-highest successful run chase in Women's T20 World Cup history.

18.6: Deepti Sharma to Marizanne Kapp, SIX! Marizanne Kapp lands a telling blow. That should do it for South Africa. Sharma tries to fire one in, very full, on middle and leg. Kapp clears the front leg and manages to get under the ball. She clobbers it over deep mid-wicket, where, despite a leap, Jemimah Rodrigues stands no chance. Kapp is pumped as she lets out a big roar.

18.5: Deepti Sharma to Chloe Tryon, Very full, on leg. Tryon steps out and pushes it to the right of mid off for a single.

18.4: Deepti Sharma to Marizanne Kapp, This is fuller and quicker, on middle and leg. Kapp clears the front leg and clubs it to deep mid-wicket. Just a single.

6
18.3: Deepti Sharma to Marizanne Kapp, SIX! Clears the fence! That brings the equation down to almost a run-a-ball. 10 needed off 9. Flighted delivery, on middle. Kapp gets down on a knee and plays the slog sweep. Jemimah Rodrigues sprints to her right at deep mid-wicket and leaps with an outstretched right hand but the ball evades her.

17.6: Sree Charani to Chloe Tryon, FOUR! Easy pickings! A bit too short by Sree, on off. Chloe Tryon stands tall on top of the bounce and thumps it along the ground past cover-point for a boundary.

17.5: Sree Charani to Nadine De Klerk, OUT! CASTLED! Nadine De Klerk's cheeky attempt does not come off. Pushed through, on a good length, on the off stump.

0
17.3: Sree Charani to Nadine De Klerk, Is Nadine De Klerk safe? A bit quicker now but stays full, on off. Nadine reaches out in front to go big on the off side but the ball spins past the outside edge. Richa Ghosh whips the bails off but the background check confirms that De Klerk had her back leg grounded inside the crease.

0
17.2: Sree Charani to Nadine De Klerk, Keeps it wide on off, a bit fuller. Nadine De Klerk moves towards the off side for the sweep but fails to lay any bat on it.

19.6: Marizanne Kapp to Arundhati Reddy, Kapp finishes things off with a dot, and India Women finish with 158/7 on the board. Kapp nails the yorker on leg and gets it to just tail back in a bit. Arundhati Reddy gives herself a bit of room again and swings across the line but the ball sneaks under the willow. 6 runs and a wicket off the last over.

2
19.5: Marizanne Kapp to Arundhati Reddy, Good, positive running. A low full toss, slanted into the legs. Arundhati Reddy backs away and slogs it wide of long on and races back for the second run.

1
19.4: Marizanne Kapp to Prema Rawat, An appeal for a run out, but Rawat seems to be safe. Kapp goes fuller now, Rawat drills it to mid off and sets off for the single. The fielder picks up the ball and throws it to Kapp, who whips off the bails, but replays show that Rawat was home safely. A direct hit would have done the job, though.

2
19.3: Marizanne Kapp to Prema Rawat, Good shot to get off the mark in international cricket from Prema Rawat. Hard length around middle, swung away aerially and towards cow corner for a couple of runs.

19.2: Marizanne Kapp to Richa Ghosh, OUT! CAUGHT! Excellent execution from Marizanne Kapp and that's a fine catch too. Kapp takes pace off and floats it a bit fuller around the middle stump. Richa Ghosh has to wait for it and tries to hoick it leg side, but ends up getting a top edge. The ball lobs up towards short fine leg, where Ayabonga Khaka scampers in and dives to take a solid catch. Kapp gets the big fish with 4 balls still to play.

17.3: Nonkululeko Mlaba to Deepti Sharma, OUT! CAUGHT! Well taken by Marizanne Kapp and South Africa Women get another wicket at the right time. Cleverly bowled by Nonkululeko Mlaba, slowing it right up and this is flighted wide of the off stump. Deepti Sharma looks for the scoop again but lunges well to the off side and falls over as she plays the shot. The ball gets lobbed to the left of short fine leg, where Kapp slides across and pouches it safely.
