Cricket: The Women's Cricket Thread

The covers are been brought on as a precautionary measure. The drizzle has got a touch heavier, hence the umpires are making sure the playing area isn't affected.
 
Come on ladies! You can do it!
 
9.15pm: Cut-off time for a game is 9.49pm, as the rain continues to fall. The scene is looking increasdingly grim for Australia. If they do manage to squeeze in 10 overs, by the way, the DLS-adjusted target will be 79 for South Africa to win.

9.25pm The radar suggests it should be clear shortly. But do we have enough time to get clear the ground? And it is clear ... Andrew McGlashan: "Covers are coming off. Australia players already on edge of the pitch."

The ground staff are working hard.
 
Not sure what I'd prefer. On the one hand if it keeps raining we go through. On the other hand, a successful run chase in a tense knockout game under severe pressure would do wonders from a mental perspective...
 
The covers are off and the restart time is 21:40 local time, around 10 minutes from now on. The revised target is 98 runs off 13 overs.
 
9.40pm is the restart time. South Africa need 98 from 13 overs. The powerplay is 4 overs. Three bowlers can bowl 3 overs, two can bowl 2.

shirish: "Wow really impressed with ground staff, how they making this ground ready in such short time"

No sh!it... they will be fired if they screw up an Aus game :D
 
Himanshu says: The revised target is actually advantage Australia, RRR has gone up to 7.5 where Australians have the option of giving only 2 overs to their weaker bowlers
