West Indies Women vs South Africa Women, 12th Match, Group A, ICC Womens World T20 2018 - CommentaryWIW vs RSAW, 12th Match, Group A, ICC Womens World T20 2018 - Commentary

Taylor to Sekhukhune, out Sekhukhune Run Out! Loopy one on the stumps, Sekhukhune sweeps with all her might, the ball falls short of the midwicket fielder and she can't complete the catch, but throws it at the non-striker's end where the bowler whips off the bails. The third umpire is asked the question, and after a single slow-motion replay, he rings the death-knell for South Africa. Sekhukhune run out (Selman/Taylor) 0(1)

Taylor to Daniels, out Masabata Klaas Run Out! A mix-up, some hesitation, short third man picks up and scores a direct-hit at the striker's end after a late steer behind square - and that's out for sure. Even the third umpire didn't have to come into the picture. Masabata Klaas run out (Afy Fletcher) 0(0)

Taylor to Ismail, out Caught by Hayley Matthews! Another one! That's tossed up wide outside off, room to free the arms, flat-bats it straight to Matthews at short cover and Ismail has to walk back to the hut, disappointed. After all her bowling efforts, she shouldn't have been required to bat. The batsmen have let Ismail and South Africa down today. Ismail c Hayley Matthews b Taylor 1(7)

Shamilia Connell to Kapp, out Caught by Chinelle Henry! Length ball just wide of the off-stump, Kapp comes down the track and flat-bats it towards the straight boundary, ends up getting a top-edge - more height than distance - and Henry rushes to her right and dives to take yet another fantastic catch for the Windies! Oh the Windies have been absolutely stunning with their fielding today... Kapp c Chinelle Henry b Shamilia Connell 26(34) [4s-2]

Taylor to Tryon, out Bowled! Timber and red lights! The off-break just outside off, Tryon comes down the track and tries to sweep it away, the ball stays very low and slides under the bat to crash into the stumps. Disappointment for Tryon and South Africa - they're tumbling down to the foot of the mountain. Tryon b Taylor 6(7) [4s-1]

Afy Fletcher to Tryon, FOUR, a tad short, Tryon stays low and carves it away with top-class placement between point and short third man for four. A ray of hope...

Taylor to du Preez, out Caught by McLean! That's full and on the stumps, the batsman shimmies down and chips it straight to the long-on fielder to hand her a simple catch. Poor shot by du Preez, and the Proteas slide further. du Preez c McLean b Taylor 7(7)

Taylor to Sune Luus, out Caught by Shamilia Connell! Poor stuff from South Africa. They're panicking. They're c***ing. A shortish one, Kapp pulls, gets a top-edge, and Connell comes in from backward square leg to take the catch. Sune Luus c Shamilia Connell b Taylor 2(5)

Chinelle Henry to Kapp, out van Niekerk Run Out! That's a run-out! By a long way! A length ball that's just dropped towards cover point for a single, but they've underestimated the arm of Dottin who has absolutely nailed the throw. Fantastic throw at the striker's end. van Niekerk run out (Dottin) 1(2)

Dottin to Lee, out Caught by Britney Cooper! A length delivery on off, Lee comes down the track and slaps it away hard towards sweeper cover, where Cooper moves well to her left to take a fantastic catch above her head. Great catch, important wicket, and a crucial breakthrough for Windies. Lee is capable of a lot of damage, particularly towards the end of the innings. Lee c Britney Cooper b Dottin 24(34) [4s-1 6s-1]

Dottin to Kapp, FOUR, length delivery angling in, Kapp plays a fantastic checked lofted on-drive over mid-on for four

Dottin to Lee, SIX, biggest six of the evening! Not surprisingly, it comes off Lee's blade. Gave the charge and although Dottin shortened the length, the response was a fiery flat-bat hit that came right off the sweet spot. Comfortably over long-on

Selman to Kapp, FOUR, sensational stroke! What timing! Not that short but plenty of width and Kapp stood tall to ease this cut through point. Emphasis was purely on timing and it paid off

Selman to Wolvaardt, out Caught by Chinelle Henry!! Wolvaardt's struggle is over. Never looked settled and perishes in pursuit of upping the ante. Was down the pitch for the big shot but the length wasn't full enough, still went through with the stroke and only managed a mishit towards mid-off. Henry is one of the tallest WI fielders and her frame made this look easier than it actually was. Wolvaardt c Chinelle Henry b Selman 8(13) [4s-1]

Shamilia Connell to Wolvaardt, FOUR, crunched away! Width on offer and it's short once more, Wolvaardt holds her poise and cuts this beautifully through backward point

Selman to Lee, FOUR, streaky runs! Use of the feet by Lee for the big shot and she gets a thick edge that flies over short third man

A leg-break wide outside off, Kycia Knight gets on her knee to drag it into the on-side to slog it away, gets a massive top-edge that carries just over mid-on as Tryon settles under the catch - The second one for her tonight. A good innings by Kycia Knight comes to an end. Kycia Knight c Tryon b van Niekerk 32(36) [4s-2 6s-2]

Daniels to Kycia Knight, SIX, shot of the day! A full-toss, alright, but she nails the pull into the deep mid-wicket skies for six

van Niekerk to Britney Cooper, out Caught by Sune Luus!

Makes some connection with the drag-swat though, but smashes it straight to short midwicket for a catch. Britney Cooper c Sune Luus b van Niekerk 0(3)

Very full delivery outside off, McLean clears her front-leg and tries to slug it away agains thte turn over long-on, can't quite get under it and gets it off the toe-end to the fielder at long-on for a catch.

Masabata Klaas to McLean, FOUR, length delivery just outside off and angling in, McLean flat-bats it with shocking power to the bowler's left towards the long-off fence for four. Bullet drive...

Masabata Klaas to McLean, FOUR, absolutely smashed! Wide half volley and McLean lays into the square drive. Pummeled it comfortably over point and it rocketed to the fence, even on this slow outfield

Daniels to Campbelle, out Bowled!! Strikes first ball! The procession continues for Windies. Campbelle is the latest one to depart. Was stuck to the crease as she tried to cut this away but there was no room whatsoever. The ball also straightened a tad to sneak past the inside edge and disturb the furniture. Daniels gets into the act straightaway for SA who can do no wrong so far. Campbelle b Daniels 7(16) [4s-1]

Kapp to Campbelle, FOUR, dropped by Lee! Almost a replica of the Matthews' replica but just that Lee couldn't parry this to slip. Was a shortish delivery outside off and Campbelle threw her hands at it, resulting in a thick slice. Off the keeper's gloves and raced past her to the fence. No luck for Kapp

Ismail to Dottin, out Caught by Sune Luus!! Ismail has her third! She is breathing fire and letting her emotions fly as well. Dottin's daring stay is cut short. Got one in her zone and wanted to launch it down the ground but ended up skewing it high towards the cover region. Luus gobbled up the chance. WI slip further. Dottin c Sune Luus b Ismail 12(14) [4s-2]

Kapp to Dottin, FOUR, slapped away over the infield! Counterattack from Dottin. Got another short one well outside off and chanced her arms with a slash over backward point. Aerial but she picked her spot well

Kapp to Dottin, FOUR, nicely done! Fraction of width outside off and it's short as well, Dottin gets on top of the bounce and slaps the cut hard through point

Ismail to Taylor, out Caught by Lee!! 2 in 2 for Ismail! The new ball continues to aid swing and it's spelling trouble for the top order. Golden duck for the skipper, Taylor. Her feet went nowhere as he hung the bat out to this away swinger from Ismail. Found the outside edge and this time, Lee ensured that she held on it comfortably. Disastrous start for the Windies and the crowd are shocked. Taylor c Lee b Ismail 0(1)

Ismail to Hayley Matthews, out Caught by van Niekerk!! Gone this time! Ismail has her revenge. This was shortish and outside off, probably a touch quicker than Matthews anticipated as she flashed hard at it. Got a thick edge that flew quickly to Lee who got a glove on it. Deflected it to her skipper who was placed at wide first slip. Easiest of catches and SA have struck early. Hayley Matthews c van Niekerk b Ismail 8(7) [6s-1]

Ismail to Hayley Matthews, SIX, just over a leaping Klaas at third man! Adventurous from Matthews as she flashes hard at this short and wide delivery, got a big slice that had enough to clear the fielder. Hit the boundary ropes on the full. If the fielder had been right back on the ropes, might have taken this with ease
