AUS-W vs SA-W Live Cricket Score

3.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Ismail is back and how. Her first wicket since coming back from retirement. She is pumped up and understandably so, as this is a huge, huge wicket for South Africa. Ismail bowls it wide outside off, on a fuller length. Beth Mooney was better off leaving it alone, but she tries to reach out for it to drive it away, flirts with the ball that angles away and only manages to get a faint outside edge behind to Sinalo Jafta. A simple, straightforward catch for Jafta. Australia Women are 24/2 as Mooney falls for a low score. 24/2

0.5 OUT! TAKEN! Immaculate line and length from Kapp and the Proteas have their first breakthrough already. Kapp hits the hard length, straight on the bodyline. Georgia Voll is cramped up for room but goes through for the pull shot. Mistimes it badly to the right of the mid-wicket fielder. Kayla Reyneke dives to her right and takes a sharp catch. Australia Women are 1/1 as Voll goes for a four-baller. 1/1

6.5 OUT! MISTIMED AND CAUGHT! Litchfield's fun ends. A slower one, fuller and outside off at 84.6 kph, and Litchfield plants her front leg looking to loft it over extra cover but completely mistimes the shot. Wolvaardt, inside the ring, takes a simple catch to send her packing. Australia Women are 61/3 after 6.5 overs as the 37-run stand is broken. 61/3

15.3 OUT! CHOPPED ON! Nonkululeko Mlaba gets her second wicket. A really slow one from Nonkululeko Mlaba, outside off. Ellyse Perry moves a bit to her right and gets low to play the sweep shot. But ends up getting a thick inside edge as the ball chops onto the off pole. A responsible knock from Perry but it comes to an end at the wrong time. Australia Women are 133/6 after 15.3 overs now. 133/6

7.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Nonkululeko Mlaba gets off to a dream start in this World Cup. Nonkululeko Mlaba goes full, and on off, Ashleigh Gardner tries to show some aggression. She steps out of the crease, drives it but uppishly and does not get the required elevation to clear the inner ring. Lobs it straight towards Laura Wolvaardt at cover. Wolvaardt leaps and takes a good catch over her head. Australia Women are 62/4 after 7.2 overs now. 62/4

13.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Laura Wolvaardt takes a stunning catch, and South Africa Women get a much-needed breakthrough. Much fuller, outside off, Georgia Wareham charges forward and drives it powerfully toward extra cover. The ball is travelling at the rate of knots but Laura Wolvaardt is alert there and dives to her left to pluck a stunner. She falls hard on the floor, but maintains possession of the ball in her hands. Australia Women are 120/5 after 13.4 overs now. 120/5

18 OUT! CAUGHT! Khaka wins the duel against Sutherland eventually and picks up her second wicket. She rolls her fingers on the ball to take pace off. Annabel Sutherland clears her front leg to smash it downtown, but cannot get underneath it as it is very full. Chips it towards mid off where Nadine De Klerk with safe pair of hands takes a fine catch. Bowls it very full again, outside off. Australia Women are 155/7, 12 balls left. 155/7

19.3 OUT! LBW! Top execution from Nadine De Klerk. Right on target. Nails a yorker on the stumps. Alana King moves across the crease to shovel it away to the leg side, but plays over it and is hit on the back pad. An appeal for LBW and up goes the finger. Alana King has opted for a review here. UltraEdge comes up with a flat line. Ball Tracking confirms three reds with the ball crashing straight on the middle stump. As straight as it can get. 167/8

1 OUT! LBW! Sophie strikes in the very first over and South Africa Women are at 2 for 1. Sophie uses the width of the crease, goes a tad wide as she bowls it with a slightly round-arm action. Keeps the ball in line with the sticks and bowls this around that nagging length. Sune Luus rocks back and swipes across the line but misses and gets hit on her back pad. A loud appeal and the umpire acknowledges it by raising her finger. Luus walks back without reviewing. 2/1

13.4 OUT! CAUGHT! She finds Georgia Wareham at cover this time and this is a hammer blow on the South Africans. Flighted up, on off, Laura Wolvaardt charges down the ground again and drives it uppishly towards wide mid off. Georgia Wareham moves to her left from extra cover and takes a magnificent low catch to her left. Laura Wolvaardt departs and South Africa Women are 96/5 after 13.4 overs. 96/5

1.5 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Kim Garth comes back in the best possible way by dismissing Annerie Dercksen. Kim drags her length back, bowls it on a good length and keeps it in the line of the stumps. Annerie Dercksen gets beaten to the pace as she brings her bat down and the ball hits her front pad and deflects onto the top of off, rattling the timber. 7/2

7 OUT! TIMBER! Georgia Wareham gets rid of Nadine De Klerk. A bit quicker through the air, on top of off. Nadine De Klerk rocks back, stays leg side of the ball and looks to guide it behind to the off side, but is squared up completely. The ball beats the bat and goes on to hit the top of off. The dangerous Nadine De Klerk departs, and South Africa Women are 48/3 after 7.1 overs now, chasing 173 runs. 48/3

11.3 RUN OUT! MARIZANNE KAPP IS RUN OUT! A huge moment in the game. Good bit of fielding by the Aussies. But that was a bit lethargic from Kapp. A length ball around off, and Wolvaardt goes for the slog sweep, hitting it into the wind. Wareham is quick to react, picking it up and firing the throw at the bowler's end, helped by the down breeze. Kapp is very slow to complete the first run and gets delayed to turn around and is forced to dive full length but falls short at the non-striker's end. Ashleigh Gardner collects the throw from the deep and whips the bails off in a flash. Kapp is found short of her crease with the replays confirming it. South Africa Women are 82/4, needing 91 runs from 51 balls. 82/4

16.3 OUT! MISTIMED AND GONE! Second wicket for Wareham. The spinners of Australia have ruled the roost so far. A full ball on leg, and Tryon skips down the track looking to go on the attack, but miscues it straight down Alana King's throat at mid-on. Australia just one wicket away from a thoroughly comprehensive win now. South Africa Women are 106/9, still 67 runs adrift. 106/9

14.2 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! That's a really soft dismissal. Quicker from Alana King, on leg, and it turns in. Kayla Reyneke hangs deep into the crease and looks to tickle it behind on the leg side. The ball hits the upper part of her bat and lobs straight into the hands of Alana King, who makes no mistake. A simple return catch for King as she gets her first wicket. 97/6

14.5 OUT! TAKEN! Another wicket in this over for South Africa Women. Alana King gives it air and keeps it on off, Sinalo Jafta shows some aggression and tries to go big over long on. Doesn't connect it well as the ball carries towards long on. Annabel Sutherland settles under it and takes an easy catch. South Africa Women are 99/7 after 14.5 overs. 99/7

15.2 OUT! LBW! Gardner picks up a wicket now. She dishes out a length ball, and gets it to drift into the batter from around the stumps. Shabnim Ismail is pinned in the crease and plays all over the ball, being hit on the pads. A confident shout for LBW and up goes the finger. Chloe Tryon asks Shabnim to take the review. But this looks pretty straight if there's no edge. UltraEdge shows a flat line. Ball Tracking shows the impact and wickets are both umpire's call, with the ball projected to just brush/clip the off stump. So the on-field decision is upheld. South Africa Women are 102/8. Ayabonga Khaka walks out next to bat. 102/8

16.4 OUT! CAUGHT! With the wicket of Nonkululeko Mlaba, the game comes to an end with Australia Women winning this by 65 runs. This looked like a wrong'un around middle and leg, Nonkululeko Mlaba clears her front leg, plants this around the leg side and swings at the ball. Does not connect well and fails to get enough power behind the ball and finds Ashleigh Gardner stationed at the deep mid-wicket fence. 107/10
