India Women vs South Africa Women

Sane Luus - Winning captain - We're extremely happy, also for du Preez, for getting a fifty. She has worked hard for it after struggling early- this is how ...

India is watching, so is South Africa and a lot of islands in the West Indies. Oh, what a finish to the league stage This was tossed up on off and du Preez saw the chance to hit the winning boundary, was looking to loft it wide of long-on, but she dragged it high and down long-on's throat. Deepti with the ball, a place in the semis is on the line for India. Can she hold her nerve? Heartbreak for India, Deepti has overstepped - no-ball and a single, but the run doesn't count - Ismail will face the free-hit - 2 needed from 2 balls 49.6 Deepti Sharma to du Preez, 1 run, India are eliminated, teary exit for the Indian girls, but that's the way this game rolls, cruel but fair. Player of the Match: I have been very fortunate, the girls have supported me throughout, I haven't had the best start to the tournament with the bat but to be able to do it today for us today was very special. To do it when it matters the most, getting the momentum right into the semifinal, I'll take it anytime of the week. Losing captain - I personally feel the girls gave it all, it was an important game, was a good game, it ended our campaign, but I'm proud of the girls for coming so far. Thanks to everyone who turned out for every Indian game, it was nice to hear your cheers and keep supporting the girls and the Indian women's team in the future. It'll be Australia v West Indies; and South Africa v England. India were a few runs short, their spinners struggled with the dew, and they kept fighting and fighting hard. What a game of cricket we had - all the thrills, the spills, the emotions and the delight, it all came together in that 50th over. I am very happy for her (on Lara Goodall), the way she supported Laura (Wolvaardt), all this will keep us good coming into the semis.
