Fatima Sana to Ayabonga Khaka, wide, that's the game! South Africa felt the pressure but they have prevailed eventually! A length delivery down leg, Ayabonga Khaka tries to flick it across but misses. Muneeba Ali moves quickly to her left to collect it and takes the bails off but Khaka had dragged her back foot inside the crease by then. South Africa get home in a tight encounter

Fatima Sana to Sinalo Jafta, out Bowled!! Poor from Sinalo Jafta! There's no need to play such risky shots when your team is just two runs away! A skiddy back of a length delivery on off, Sinalo Jafta tries to swipe it across but the ball skids after landing and she gets beaten. The ball crashes into the off-stump. Sinalo Jafta b Fatima Sana 5(4) [4s-1]

Nashra Sandhu to Marizanne Kapp, out Stumped!! Sharp glovework from Muneeba Ali to get the better of Kapp! She didn't look particularly optimistic after effecting the stumping though. Was on a length on off, turned away sharply, Kapp leaned ahead to push at it but missed to get beaten on the outside edge. She dragged her back foot out of the crease. Muneeba Ali was quick to collect it and took the bails off in a flash as Kapp tried to drag her back foot inside the crease. It has been taken upstairs to check for the stumping. The replays show that Kapp's might be just in the air when the bails came off. The zoom-in replay shows that the zing bails lit up and Kapp's feet is in the air. Looked touch and go but the third umpire got it right in the end. Marizanne Kapp st Muneeba Ali b Nashra Sandhu 10(8) [4s-2]

Nashra Sandhu to Annerie Dercksen, FOUR, Annerie Dercksen gets to her fifty in style! It has been a brilliant knock so far on a slow and low track. She raises her bat and soaks in all the applause. Coming back to the delivery, it was on the shorter side around off, Dercksen cut it a bit uppishly but it was in the gap between cover-point and backward point

Rameen Shamim to Annerie Dercksen, SIX, shot! A slot delivery in line of the stumps, Annerie Dercksen clears her front leg and clubs it over wide long-on for a maximum. She struck it really well

Fatima Sana to Sune Luus, out Bowled!! Chopped on! The Pakistani skipper is turning it around! She delivered with the bat when her side needed it the most and she has now struck early with the ball. On a back of a length outside off, seams in a bit, Luus tries to dab it late towards deep third but only manages to get a thick inside edge which goes onto crash into the leg-stump. Fatima Sana is elated and so are her mates! Sune Luus b Fatima Sana 5(5) [4s-1]

Nadine de Klerk to Fatima Sana, FOUR, Fatima Sana reaches out for the ball and slaps it over point. Right off the middle and runs away for four. Pakistan end up with 126

Nadine de Klerk to Fatima Sana, SIX, back-to-back sixes and Fatima Sana gets to her fifty. What a knock this is and at the right time. Clears her front foot and nails it with the straight bat. Long-off fielder is just a spectator

Nadine de Klerk to Fatima Sana, SIX, in the slot and Fatima has smoked it over the ropes. She lines up for the length delivery and slog it over deep mid-wicket. Clears the big boundary and picks up six

Shabnim Ismail to Fatima Sana, FOUR, Fatima Sana flat bats it down the ground. She makes room and connects it well to hit it over the bowler. Mid-off had no chance to stop that

Marizanne Kapp to Muneeba Ali, out Lbw!! Drama first ball. Given not out on-field and South Africa use their review. Was pitching on middle on a good length. Muneeba Ali shuffles across and misses the tuck. The ball pings on the front pad in front of middle and leg and Marizanne Kapp goes up for a loud LBW shout. Ball-tracking shows three reds and Muneeba Ali has to make her way back to the pavilion. Kapp is the first one to celebrate looking at the replays and then join her teammates. Muneeba Ali lbw b Marizanne Kapp 0(1)
