    2.6 Look at that stare and shout from Kapp! She so wanted this one. The ploy to keep Mandhana restricted in her crease pays off. She tries to manufacture a boundary, pays the price. Length ball angling in to off from around the wicket, she walks across to scoop it away. Misses it completely and is clean bowled 30/1
    5.4 A bumper angled in to Shafali, who sways and backs away. Actually she thought of upper-cutting it but the ball kept curving back into her, eventually she fell on her back as she tried to get away. In fact South Africa took their time and have taken the review and Shafali has started to walk back! An anticlimactic dismissal, UltraEdge confirms the glove. Ismail's short ball does the trick for South Africa. It was bowled at 122.6kph! 54/2

    7.2 Plumb in front? Given! Bhatia talks to Rodrigues and takes the review. Length ball on middle and leg, looks like it skids on. Bhatia is on the back foot, to clip it through the on side, but is beaten because of the extra pace, and is hit on the back leg. No inside edge, and three reds on ball-tracking. South Africa claw their way back into the game now 67/3
    10.2 Easy-as! A soft, soft dismissal and South Africa continue to make the telling blows. Floats the length ball on middle and leg, Jemimah looks to work that away to the legside but closes the face of her bat a little early. The leading edge pops straight up and de Klerk completes the easiest of catches 83/4

    14.4 Cleans her up; Ismail removes the Indian captain and is PUMPED UP! Wobble seam length ball just around off stump, Harmanpreet wanted to run that fine but is unable to get on top of the bounce. She only manages a thick inside-edge with the ball clattering into her stumps. 116/5
    17.3 Excellent catch by Kapp running back from short fine leg. Lovely loop and flight outside off, Deepti gets right across and plays the falling sweep. Gets a lot more elevation to the left of Kapp who sprints back and takes a smart catch 137/6
    19.2 Slower ball and Kapp gets her second. She takes all the pace off the ball, delivering the cutter at 82.7kph on middle. Ghosh gets across, looking to swipe this over short fine. She gloves it straight up and Khaka dives forward at short fine leg and takes a good catch 153/7

    5.2 Sharp catch and Charani provides the breakthrough. That was nailed back all right. Tossed up full outside off, Wolvaardt steps towards off and drills it back. The error she makes is of hitting it aerially. Charani hops and takes it to her right and India are delighted. Wolvaardt is yet to truly come into her own in this T20 World Cup 25/1
    16.1 The break has worked for India! Brits falls and an important stand has been broken. Dragged down on leg stump, she backs away and pulls but straight down deep backward square leg's throat who makes no mistake. Not the best delivery but Shafali will take it every day of the week 122/3
    5.4 Cleaned her up! Two wickets in an over and Charani has brought Manchester alive. Tossed it up and drifts it in on middle and leg, lands it full in length. Dercksen, perhaps a little too early in her innings, looks to go for the big shot slightly across the line. Head is not steady at all. Loses her shape and stumps. Top of off. South Africa in early trouble 25/2

    17.5 Shree Charani has her third, and SA have lost de Klerk. Pushed quicker on the stumps, de Klerk gets right across and attempts a scoop. She misses and sees her stumps in a mess. Harmanpreet pumps her fists and lets out a sigh of relief 137/4
