India Women vs South Africa Women Cricket Match Highlights

Overs17.2 Score135 - 5 Nonkululeko Mlaba to Deepti Sharma, WIDE! Fired in way down the leg side, good take from the keeper. Not what you want when you are behind the over rate.

4 Overs16.6 Score133 - 5 Nadine De Klerk to Deepti Sharma, FOUR! Down the wrong line, and De Klerk ends the over just as she started it, with a boundary. Full and down the leg side, Sharma gets inside the line and plays the lap sweep past short fine leg for four runs. 11 off the over.

1 Overs16.3 Score128 - 5 Nadine De Klerk to Deepti Sharma, Another attempted slower ball, turns out to be a low full toss on leg. Deepti Sharma looks to sweep but miscues it in front of square on the leg side for a single.

4 Overs16.1 Score126 - 5 Nadine De Klerk to Richa Ghosh, FOUR! Loose ball, and it goes to the fence in streaky fashion. Slower one, turned out to be a full toss outside off. Richa Ghosh goes after it but gets an outside edge into the deep third fence.

A timer graphic shown in the previous over indicated that South Africa were 9 minutes behind on the over rate. We could see them being penalised if they do not make up that time. Nadine De Klerk (1-0-5-1) returns to the attack.

4 Overs15.6 Score122 - 5 Ayabonga Khaka to Deepti Sharma, FOUR! Streaky, but India Women will take it happily! Cross seam, outside off, Deepti Sharma looks to cut it but gets a thick edge as the ball races past short third for a boundary.

0 Overs14.6 Score116 - 5 Shabnim Ismail to Richa Ghosh, Excellent over for South Africa Women. Just 3 runs and a wicket from the over. Nice and full, on off, Richa Ghosh blocks it back to the bowler. Shabnim Ismail ends her spell with figures of 4-0-28-2.

W Overs14.4 Score116 - 5 Shabnim Ismail to Harmanpreet Kaur, OUT! CHOPPED ON! The bowling change has worked as Shabnim Ismail picks the all-important wicket of Harmanpreet Kaur. An off cutter, on a back of a length, and outside off. Harmanpreet stays in her crease and looks to cut it late, but the ball comes back in to catch the bottom edge before it crashes into the stumps. Kaur departs, and India Women are 116/5 after 14.4 overs.

DRINKS! It has been a topsy-turvy first innings thus far. India Women were out of the box quickly, but South Africa Women have managed to pick up wickets at regular intervals. However, right now, it seems that India are once again starting to get a move on. Harmanpreet Kaur and Deepti Sharma are playing nicely, and the Proteas will love a wicket right after the break. The physio is out to attend to Kaur, who looks to be feeling the effects of the heat. The Indian skipper is ready to resume. Shabnim Ismail returns to bowl her final over.

4 Overs13.6 Score113 - 4 Nonkululeko Mlaba to Harmanpreet Kaur, FOUR! 12 runs off the over! A good one for India Women. Nonkululeko Mlaba drops it short and outside off, Harmanpreet Kaur waits for the ball and cuts it in the gap through backward point as the ball races away.

4 Overs11.1 Score91 - 4 Chloe Tryon to Harmanpreet Kaur, FOUR! Put away! A half-tracker, slower through the air, outside off. Kaur waits for the ball to arrive and slaps it through point. Marizanne Kapp sprints to her left and covers a lot of ground in the deep. She dives but lets it through.

2 Overs10.6 Score87 - 4 Nadine De Klerk to Deepti Sharma, In line with the off stump, more on the fuller side. Deepti plays a wristy flick past the diving Annerie Dercksen at mid-wicket and comes back for the second run.

0 Overs10.4 Score84 - 4 Nadine De Klerk to Harmanpreet Kaur, On a good length, on off. Kaur pats it down the strip. Nadine De Klerk gets low and makes the stop to her right.
