Then Deepti struck again to remove Chloe Tryon, completing her four-wicket haul. Nadine de Klerk was the final wicket lost as Deepti struck again. Wolvaardt and her opening partner Tazmin Brits got off to a strong start, but an error in judgment from the latter saw her fall victim to a direct hit from Amanjot Kaur, departing for 23 off 35 balls. Meanwhile, Anneke Bosch had a miserable outing wih the bat, falling for a six-ball duck to Shree Charani.

India vs South Africa Live Score: Speaking to the broadcasters, Amanjot said, "We all are very positive (mood in the camp) and very excited, but it's raining outside and we are holding our nerves. We are just finding something to do. We are getting bored and we are really excited to step out right now. So yeah, it is pretty positive. I was not nervous (emotions when she hit the winning runs in the semi final), but I was just waiting for my turn. I didn't want to leave. As I left in the England match, I took it too deep. And then the Australia game, I left seven balls for someone else. So I wanted to finish it and I am glad I did it. And plus, Jemi's knock was commendable and Harry (Harmanpreet) di's knock was pretty amazing. The way she played her innings and those cameos by Deepthi, Richa. And then I finished it. I am glad I finished that. Wonderful atmosphere."

For the first time, there is no Australia or England in the summit clash of the Women's World Cup. India and South Africa have already created history, and now it is just a case of seeing who goes the distance to walk away with the silverware.

This is just an irritating start to the proceedings. The rain is not that heavy right now, but a drizzle is enough to delay the summit clash. Both India and South Africa would hope that the rain relents and the match gets underway.

India vs South Africa Live Score: Weather update for Navi Mumbai

India vs South Africa Live Score: It is currently drizzling in Navi Mumbai and the weather forecast says that few more showers are expected throughout the evening. However, the chance of rain will go down significantly after 6 PM so it's unlikely that a reserve day would come into the equation. The maximum chance of rain is around 6-7 PM and then it reduces to just 20 per cent. Fingers crossed that we get a full game in.

India vs South Africa Live Score: Harmanpreet Kaur and co chase history

india vs South Africa Live Score: India came ever so close in 2017 under the captaincy of Mithali Raj but the side collapsed like a deck of cards to lose the final against England at the Lord's Cricket Ground. The story was similar in the 2005 final against Australia as well as India failed to leave a mark.

Will it be third time lucky for India? Harmanpreet Kaur and co have the chance of scripting history and emerging as the true blue trailblazers in Indian women's cricket.

However, South Africa stand in the way and the Proteas would aim to spoil the hosts' party. The match promises to be a firecracker!
