Eight from the 49th

de Klerk bowls the penultimate over. Mithali picked up two off the third ball of the over. FOUR WIDES! India won't mind this. A rare loose delivery from de Klerk. Eight from the over. IND W 187/8 after 49 overs.

Mar 17, 2021, 12:15:47 IST

Two over to go

Sekhukhune bowls a brilliant over, conceding just three runs. India W 179/8 after 48 overs. Rajeshawari Gayakwad is yet to get off the mark after four balls.

Mar 17, 2021, 12:12:51 IST

Direct hit and she is gone

A mix-up between Mithali and Pratyusha and the latter falls well short of her crease. Mithali glides the ball to third man and after some confusion between the two batters, Pratyusha makes a late charge to the danger end. Mignon du Preez has three stumps to aim with a lot of time and she makes the most of it. After 47 overs, IND W 176/8.

Mar 17, 2021, 12:08:51 IST

OUT

India W lose their seventh wicket. Monica Patel steps out to play the ball on the on side. The ball is quicker than she anticipated and she ends up handing a simple catch to Wolvaardt at point. IND W 173/7 after 46.1 overs. Third wicket for de Klerk.

Mar 17, 2021, 12:06:03 IST

Four overs to go

FOUR! Short and wide from Shangase, Monica rocks back and cuts the ball past the point fielder for her first boundary. Next ball, Monica chips the ball over the infield for a double. Monica miscues a lofted shot for another double and after 46 overs, IND W are 173/6.

Mar 17, 2021, 12:03:13 IST

Monica Patel walks in

Monica Patel is the new batter. FOUR! Mithali goes about her business. Moves to 71 with a fine boundary as she smacks the ball past de Klerk and beats the mid-off fielder comfortably. Earlier in the over, Monica survived a run-out after taking a risky single. IND W 166/6 after 45 overs.

Mar 17, 2021, 11:59:40 IST

GONE

OUT! Jhulan Goswami is gone for 5. Nondumiso Shangase gets the wicket. Goswami charges down the track and tries to clear the long-on boundary, but the timing isn't there and ends up holing out to Tumi Sekhukhune. IND W 160/6 after 44 overs.

Mar 17, 2021, 11:54:07 IST

Good over for India

FOUR! Mithali creams the ball between extra cover and long-off for a much-needed boundary. Seven from the 43rd over. India 157/5 after 43.

Mar 17, 2021, 11:51:43 IST

One run off the 42nd over

This is going to hurt India. Mithali took a single off the first ball of the over and Anne Bosch then bowled five dot balls. At this stage, Mithali has to play most of the deliveries if India were to get to a fighting total. IND W 150/4 after 42 overs.

Mar 17, 2021, 11:47:44 IST

Jhulan survives

DROPPED! Jhulan edges a full delivery outside off and the ball flies to the keeper at an awkward height. Jafta tries to take a one-hander but ends up spilling it. Shabman Ismail is denied her first scalp of the day. IND W 149/5 after 41 overs.

Mar 17, 2021, 11:45:59 IST

India continue to struggle

In the last 57 balls, India have only managed to score 25 runs, while losing two wickets. That was when Harmanpreet Kaur walked off and allowed South Africa to gain control again.

Mar 17, 2021, 11:44:13 IST

10 overs to go, IND W 148/4

FOUR! A gift from Bosch. A full-toss and a player as experienced as Mithali wasn't going to miss out. Puts it comfortably through the gap for her sixth four of the innings. FOUR! Jhulan Goswami off the mark with a boundary. Full and outside off, Jhulan pierces the gap between gully and point with ease to get off the mark in style. IND W 148/4 after 40 overs.

Mar 17, 2021, 11:40:03 IST

Jhulan Goswami walks out

An even better over, as compared to her last, by de Klerk. Gave only one run away and picked up the wicket of Sushma Verma. IND W 139/5 after 39 overs.

Mar 17, 2021, 11:38:32 IST

Sushma gone for a duck

de Klerk makes it two in two overs. Sushma Verma has been sent packing for a 10-ball duck. She is wrapped on the pads as she played across the line. A disappointing end for Verma's stay at the crease. After 38.4 overs, IND W 139/5

Mar 17, 2021, 11:34:22 IST

FIFTY FOR MITHALI

FIFTY for Mithali Raj! A captain's knock by Mithali, to say the least. Came in when South Africa were on a roll and has steadied the ship with a fighting fifty. After 38 overs, IND W 138/4

Mar 17, 2021, 11:31:46 IST

Sushma Verma is in at No.6

A successful over for de Klerk. A wicket in her sixth over and gave away just 3 runs. Mithali just one run away from her fifty.

Mar 17, 2021, 11:30:15 IST

de Klerk dimisses Hemalatha for 2.

Miscued but safe. Hemalatha tries to take the aerial route over mid-on but doesn't get the elevation. The ball falls just short of the fielder. OUT! Hemalatha never really got going today. Fishes outside off, trying to guide the ball behind square but ends up nicking the ball to the wicketkeeper. A good catch by Sinalo Jafta. After 36.4 overs, IND W 137/4.

Mar 17, 2021, 11:27:16 IST

Hemalatha off the mark

And she if finally off the mark after 12 balls. An off cutter from Kapp and Hemalatha guides the ball to third man for a single. Marizanne Kapp finishes her spell with figures of 10-1-26-1. After 36 overs, IND W 134/3.

Mar 17, 2021, 11:23:36 IST

Economical over from Sekhukhune

An economical over from Sekhukhune, giving away just the one run. Hemalatha is yet to get off the mark. And India have now taken the batting powerplay. After 35 overs, IND w 132/3.

Mar 17, 2021, 11:18:34 IST

Mithali into the 40s

Mithali hits Kapp for a boundary to inch closer to her fifty. Hemalatha is yet to get off the mark. After 33.4 overs, IND W 130/3.

Mar 17, 2021, 11:09:42 IST

Harmanpreet limping off the field

This looks like a big blow to India, Harmanpreet Kaur has just limped off the field. It appears to be a hamstring issue. She must have tweaked something while playing the attacking shot in the previous over. South Africa will consider themselves very lucky. Hemalatha is the new batter for India Women.

Mar 17, 2021, 11:06:26 IST

Harmanpreet joins the party

FOUR! Now from Harmanpreet's bat. The Indians have now decided to go after the bowling. A smart shot from Harmanpreet, she knew the mind-on was inside the circle all she needed to do was clear her and she does that with perfection. India Women 124/3 in 31 overs.

Mar 17, 2021, 11:03:38 IST

Mithali on the charge

The India captain has decided to take the attack to the South Africa bowlers. Two boundaries in two overs for the stylish right-hander. India Women 119/3.

Mar 17, 2021, 11:00:00 IST

Record for Mithali-Harmanpreet

14th fifty-plus partnership between Mithali Raj and Harmanpreet Kaur in 45 ODIs - the most between an Indian pair in the history of women's cricket. India Women going strong. The pair betters the record of 13th fifty-plus stands between Mithali Raj and Anjum Chopra (13).

Mar 17, 2021, 10:53:54 IST

100 up for India

FOUR! A nice punch down to long-on from Mithali Raj which brings up India's 100 in the 27th over. India Women 100 for 3 in 27 overs.

Mar 17, 2021, 10:52:17 IST

This is what transpired in the first 25 overs

India Women openers Priya Puniya and Smriti Mandhana started well but Kapp got Puniya out for 18. No 3 Punam Raut and Mandhana were just helping India recover from the early blow when Shangase dismissed Raut for 10. In the very next over Mandhana too perished for 18 but since then Mithali Raj and Harmanpreet Kaur have been playing well.
