Getting up to a run a ball now. Hopefully it still keeps heading north, despite the wickets in hand.

 

[Dan C]

Two good wickets .. yay !

 

[Agent_Smith]

Just adding credence to the phrase 'one brings two'. We lost our set batters in du Preez and van Niekerk in quick succession and now they have too. Time to step on the throat and close this out!

 

[Agent_Smith]

BIG wicket!

V Krishnamurthy c †Chetty b Kapp 31 (27b 3x4 0x6) SR: 114.81

She was threatening to take the game away from us!

So close. GG ladies well played.

 

[Agent_Smith]

So close! Harmanpreet was lucky to be there. Struck plumb in front and given not out when on 28. Good effort ladies. Hope they can take a lot of positives out of this heading into the world cup in England later this year.

 

[Indigogirl]

Wow - that must have been an extremely interesting finish! When I left off watching India had 108 to get off 105 balls!

Well done @ProteasWomen!

 

[WaxLyrical]

Wow, that wouldve been a very sexy ending.

I assume that they don't have the luxury of a referral system? Pity, else it would surely have changed the outcome of this match.

But like you say, they have had a great tournament and with the WC coming up, this would have been a great "warm-up".

I will admit that when Du Preez got out, I was sure they'd lose their way. Credit to Ismail (player of the match) and Luus for making sure they guided the team to a win. Well done, ladies. Showing your male counterparts a thing or two.
