Amanjot Kaur to de Klerk, SIX, South Africa win by 3 wickets. Nadine de Klerk, you absolute legend! She has got them over the line with 7 balls to spare. Every member of the South African squad, even the senior members, run out to congratulate her. This knock is one for the ages. South Africa were down but not out of it and it needed something special to register the win and de Klerk has produced that.
Sneh Rana turned the game around in a thrilling over. After Nadine de Klerk smashed a six and a four to start the 46th over, Rana dismissed Chloe Tryon on 49 with a brilliant LBW review, thanks to sharp calls from Richa Ghosh. India tightened their grip as Ayabonga Khaka walked in next.
Shree Charani delivers a crucial breakthrough for India by trapping Sinalo Jafta LBW for 14. The decision was reviewed, but ball-tracking showed three reds. Chloe Tryon joins next, but India opt not to review a potential edge. South Africa are now 5 wickets down, under mounting pressure.
Sneh Rana strikes a crucial blow by bowling out Marizanne Kapp for 20, breaking a steady partnership. Kapp misjudged a full delivery with no turn, and it went straight on to hit off-stump. India now in command as Anneke Bosch joins Wolvaardt. SA still deep but under pressure.
Kranti Gaud strikes early with a stunning caught-and-bowled to dismiss Tazmin Brits for a duck. Brits, coming off a century in the last game, mistimed a drive straight back at Gaud, who showed brilliant reflexes. Luus and Wolvaardt then steadied with singles, but India took early control.
In a dramatic 48th over, Sneh Rana played a vital cameo, hitting back-to-back boundaries before falling for 33 off 24 balls, caught by Wolvaardt at cover-point. Richa Ghosh survived a dropped catch by Bosch and added a single. Kranti Gaud walked in next as India edged towards the final overs.
Richa Ghosh hit a crucial boundary off Kapp in the 45th over but struggled with three dot balls early on. She managed just 5 runs in the over, while Sneh Rana added a single to rotate strike. Kapp used slower deliveries effectively to keep the scoring in check.
A tidy over from Ayabonga Khaka, except for one costly mistake. Richa Ghosh found a boundary early thanks to a misfield by Luus at mid-off. The rest of the over was tight and accurate, with Khaka maintaining a good length and stump-to-stump line to keep Ghosh quiet.
Sekhukhune keeps things tight with disciplined lines and subtle variations in pace. Pratika Rawal adds a single with a cut shot, while Harmanpreet Kaur gets off the mark with a clip to deep square leg. Just 2 runs from the over.
Smriti Mandhana ends a quiet phase with a confident six down the ground off Khaka, becoming the highest run-scorer in a women's ODI calendar year (972*). She adds a single more, while Khaka leaks two wides and keeps Rawal tied down with tight lines. Nine runs come from the over.
Marizanne Kapp continues to challenge the batters with variation in length. Smriti Mandhana picks up four runs in the over, including a couple through cover and a risky inside edge. She also attempts an ambitious slog but misses. Pratika Rawal sees off her deliveries quietly. Just 5 off the over.
Ayabonga Khaka delivers a tight over, conceding just a single to Mandhana. Pratika Rawal times a cut well but is denied by a brilliant diving stop from Anneke Bosch at backward point. Notably, ball-tracking from the previous over showed Rawal was plumb LBW - but she survived thanks to Kapp’s no-ball.
Marizanne Kapp oversteps, gifting a free hit and Pratika Rawal makes the most of it, smashing consecutive boundaries through square leg. Earlier in the over, Kapp nearly had her LBW with a sharp nip-backer. Mandhana adds a single, but the momentum shifts with Rawal’s confident strokeplay.
Ayabonga Khaka continues her spell with some variation in length. Pratika Rawal stands out with a classy square drive for four and adds a couple more with a flick through leg. Mandhana adds a single, while a few dot balls keep the over balanced. Seven runs come off it.
Marizanne Kapp keeps Smriti Mandhana on her toes with consistent seam movement and testing lengths. Mandhana is beaten outside edge once and gets an inside edge on another delivery. Two wides down leg slightly mar an otherwise disciplined over. No runs off the bat.
Ayabonga Khaka keeps things tight with disciplined lines and gentle movement. Pratika Rawal manages two runs with a neat clip off her pads but is also beaten once outside off. Smriti Mandhana gets off the mark with a push to mid-off. One wide in the over.
Pratika Rawal begins confidently, striking two boundaries — one a fine glance off her pads and another a crisp cover drive. Marizanne Kapp tests her with movement and tight lines, but Rawal survives a nervy moment while poking at a ball that nipped away.
We’re on the centre pitch, with square boundaries measuring 57 metres and 67 metres straight down the ground. Typically, it’s a great batting surface, and this one looks good too - but the recent rain might add a bit of unpredictability.
India Women (Playing XI): Pratika Rawal, Smriti Mandhana, Harleen Deol, Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh(w), Deepti Sharma, Amanjot Kaur, Sneh Rana, Kranti Gaud, Shree Charani

Harmanpreet Kaur: Looking at the conditions, bowling. Hopefully we'll put a decent total. Amanjot is back in place of Renuka. We need to keep showing improvament. First two games, we wanted to win and we did that. We want to keep doing the good things.
Laura Wolvaardt: We are gonna have a bowl first. Looks like a very nice wicket. Should be pretty high-scoring. Very happy with how we played in the last game. She (Brits) has been amazing, long may the form continue.
The two captains were spotted in discussion with match referee Trudy Anderson near the boundary line, soon joined by the on-field umpires. After handing in the team sheets, both captains walked off in separate directions. Harmanpreet now has a bat in hand, but the toss remains delayed.
There’s a forecast for more rain until around 6 PM, but for now, the skies don’t look too threatening. The groundstaff is carefully draining and folding the covers, keeping them ready near the ropes. A few cheers go up from the sparse crowd as India’s support staff begins setting up on the side strip.
Toss delayed due to a wet outfield in Visakhapatnam. Groundstaff are waiting for conditions to improve before any decision.
"THE EXPERIENCE THAT THEY HAVE AND THE MATCHES THEY HAVE WON FOR INDIA IS REALLY VALUABLE. VERY FEW PLAYERS PROVIDE THIS SKILL AND EXPERIENCE. THEY ARE DEFINITELY IN THE MIX."

It was pouring in Visakhapatnam about 30 minutes ago, Even the drizzle has stopped now. However, there’s still no movement from the groundstaff to remove the covers.
A fair amount of water has collected on them. We’re hearing there’s more rain on the radar, which might explain the inactivity. A delayed start looks certain.
