^^Is this a knockout game?

^^Is this a knockout game?

I am not sure. I got the impression is was a round-robin of the top 6. Beating India would be a massive boost toward qualification & world ranking.

Not off to a good start though:

India Women 205/8 (50.0 ov)
South Africa Women 8/2 (4.2 ov)
South Africa Women require another 198 runs with 8 wickets and 45.4 overs remaining

 

[Creag]

India Women 205/8 (50.0 ov)
South Africa Women 131/6 (40.3 ov)
South Africa Women require another 75 runs with 4 wickets and 57 balls remaining

This chase hasn't gone well. When Chetty departed on 52, I think the wheels were probably already starting to fall off

 

[Agent_Smith]

I think while Dane is still there we are in with a shout. If she goes, then it's probably GG...

EDIT: Feck...

43.1
Bisht to van Niekerk, OUT
D van Niekerk c Vaidya b Bisht 20 (33b 2x4 0x6) SR: 60.60

 

[Creag]

India Women 205/8 (50.0 ov)
South Africa Women 156 (46.4 ov)
India Women won by 49 runs

Bowled out well short of a target they would have been comfortable chasing. Meh! Sorry ladies...

It's all happening at the moment...

It's a win ladies.... well done

 

[Creag]

That should see the ladies through? Well done all the same.

 

[Agent_Smith]

Yup. India and SA play the final tomorrow. I read somewhere that I think it might be televised. Will try find where I saw that.

 

[Kelerei]

More importantly, it secures them a place in the upcoming Women's World Cup.

 

[WaxLyrical]

The ladies perform extremely well when chasing a small target but anything over 200 becomes a problem.

This needs to be addressed.

 

[Agent_Smith]

SA Ladies 172/4 after 36.2 overs. Match is being live streamed here for anyone interested

 

[Agent_Smith]

SA Women: 244/10 in 49.4 overs. Not a bad total at all with contributions right down the order. Should be defendable if they bowl as they have this tournament.

Hope so.

 

[Creag]

Here's the trophy they're playing for today:

 

[Creag]

India Women 87/1 (158 runs required from 28 overs, RR: 3.95, RRR: 5.64)

Need a couple of wickets to put the choke on this run chase.

 

[Dan C]

yip, need to break this partnership soon.
