IND-W vs SA-W Live Cricket Score

17.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Chloe Tryon breaks through and provides the much-needed wicket for the Proteas! Tryon drops it on a length, just outside off. It appears to have held a touch on the deck as Smriti Mandhana attempts a cut shot off the back foot. Only gets a thick outside edge and Sinalo Jafta takes a fine catch behind the stumps. Smriti Mandhana departs on 45 (58) and India Women are 104/1. 104/1

27.5 OUT! TAKEN! Shafali Verma got away with one earlier in the over when it fell short, but she holes out this time! Khaka serves it on a good length, on middle. Verma backs away to loft it over mid off but she fails to get under the ball in a fashion she would have liked. Hits it flat at head height to mid off, where Sune Luus backpedals a couple of steps and takes a reverse cup catch. Shafali Verma misses out on her century and departs on a well-constructed 87 (78). The 62-run partnership for the second wicket is broken and India Women are 166/2. 166/2

29.4 OUT! CAUGHT! A fine low grab from Laura Wolvaardt! One brings two for South Africa. On a length, outside off. Rodrigues leans forward and cracks the drive. She fails to keep it down, and the ball goes at shoe height to cover. Wolvaardt reacts quickly and gets low to take the catch. Gets both hands together, but the ball sticks in her left hand. She claims the catch, and it is referred upstairs. The replays show that Laura has done well to get her fingers under the ball and scoop it inches off the turf. India's star of the semifinal, Rodrigues, falls for 24 (37). From 166/1, India are now 171/3. 171/3

39 OUT! BOWLED! You miss I hit, says Mlaba and this is a massive wicket in the context of the game. She stays around the stumps and dishes out a length ball, sliding it into the batter. It skids through as Harmanpreet Kaur backs away and tries to cut it through point, but the ball goes over the bat and smashes into the stumps. Harmanpreet Kaur departs on 20 (29) and India Women are 223/4. 223/4

50 OUT! DEEPTI SHARMA IS RUN OUT! A full toss on middle and off, and Radha swings hard, aiming for the stands but loses all shape in the process and the bat slips out of her hands as well. The ball is sliced off the outer half of the bat, and rolls past backward point. Both batters initially commit to the second run, but Deepti is a bit slow to turn around to cross over. The fielder, Chloe Tryon, spots Deepti way out of the crease and throws it to the keeper. Sinalo Jafta has ample time to collect the ball and whip the bails off. Since the batters didn't cross each other, it is Deepti who has to walk back. Just six singles off the final over. INDIA WOMEN FINISH ON 298/7 298/7

43.1 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! A soft dismissal! South Africa keep striking every time India seem to be developing a partnership. Pace taken off by Nadine De Klerk, on a back of a length, on off. Amanjot Kaur waits back and looks to push it down the ground. The ball stops on her and she is through the shot early. Ends up lobbing tamely in the direction of the bowler. De Klerk moves to her right and takes a small leap. Sticks out her right hand and takes the catch in front of Deepti Sharma at the non-striker's end. Amanjot Kaur departs on 12 (14) and India Women are 245/5. 245/5

49 OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Ayabonga Khaka gets her third wicket. She bowls it smartly as she sees Richa shuffling to the leg side. Khaka follows the batter and spears it full on the leg stump line, giving very little room for Richa to work with. Ghosh uses her wrists to loft it over deep square leg, but gets no distance whatsoever and sails it straight to Annerie Dercksen stationed in the deep. Richa Ghosh departs after a breezy 34 off 24 balls and India Women are 292/6. 292/6

41.1 OUT! TAKEN! Is that the World Cup for India? The crowd has absolutely gone wild here, as they see the back of Laura Wolvaardt. Tossed up, full and around middle. Wolvaardt goes down on one knee and looks for the slog sweep. However, she gets more height than distance on this as it flies towards deep mid-wicket. Amanjot Kaur runs to her left and tries to grab it with both hands. It pops out a couple of times as she gets into a bit of a juggling act, but she has the presence of mind to take it with her left hand while tumbling onto the ground. Laura Wolvaardt departs after a masterful knock of 101 off 98 balls, and South Africa Women are 220/7. 220/7

9.3 OUT! TAZMIN BRITS IS RUN OUT! India have got a much-needed breakthrough courtesy of an outstanding work by Amanjot Kaur! Thakur lands it on a good length, and it nips into the batter from middle. Tazmin Brits is cramped for room and tucks it to the mid-wicket region. She calls her partner through for a single, but is running at the danger end and seeing that, Amanjot Kaur collects the ball on the bounce and with one stump to aim at, she scores a direct hit at the bowling end, with Brits caught short of her crease. Elation for the Indians, disappointment for Tazmin Brits as she departs on 23 (35). South Africa Women are 51/1. 51/1

11.5 OUT! LBW! Anneke Bosch falls for a six-ball duck! That wraps up a tough day at the office for Bosch, who earlier dropped a couple of catches. From around the wicket, this is slowed down, on the shorter side, on middle and leg. Anneke hangs on the back foot to deal with it. She tentatively plays across the line, looking to turn it away on the leg side. Gets beaten on the inside edge and the ball goes through to brush the front pad before hitting the back pad. A loud appeal for LBW and the finger is raised instantly. Bosch has a chat with the skipper but decides against the review. South Africa Women are 62/2, needing 237 runs to win. 62/2

20.2 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Would you believe it? Shafali Verma gets the big breakthrough for India Women. What a call from Harmanpreet Kaur to toss the ball up to her, and she has now not just contributed with the bat but also with the ball in this final. Slower through the air, full and on middle, sticks to the surface a bit. Sune Luus looks to work it across the line but just closes the bat face a bit too early. It loops off the leading edge straight back to the bowler, where Verma makes no mistake, grabbing it low to her front. Luus departs for 25 off 31, and the budding 52-run stand has been broken now. 114/3

22.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Strangled down the leg side, and Shafali Verma can do no wrong in this final. She floats this one up, short and around middle, turning it into the leg side. Marizanne Kapp stays in her crease and tries to flick it away, but only manages to get a faint nick behind, where Richa Ghosh quickly moves to her left to take a sharp catch. Kapp fails to make much of an impact with the bat, and South Africa Women have slipped from 114/2 to 123/4! 123/4

29.3 OUT! TAKEN! Sinalo Jafta's struggles come to an end now! Deepti Sharma tosses it up, full and on off. Jafta looks to loft it over the bowler's head, but just fails to get under it as the bat also turns in her hand upon contact. It goes off the bottom off the bat and flies straight to short mid-wicket, where Radha Yadav takes it nicely with a reverse cup in front of her face. Jafta walks back for a scratchy 16 off 29, and South Africa Women lose half their side now. 148/5

39.3 OUT! BOWLED! Deepti Sharma strikes, and strikes big at a crucial time for her side. Sharma darts in a pinpoint yorker, around the off stump, Annerie Dercksen fails to get her bat down in time and the ball makes an absolute mess of the stumps behind. Annerie Dercksen departs for an impressive 35 (37) and South Africa Women are 209/6. 209/6

41.4 OUT! LBW! Deepti Sharma with the double strike! India Women have one hand on the trophy now. She fires it in, full and on middle. Chloe Tryon looks to clip it across the line, but does so down the wrong line as the ball goes past the inside edge to hit her front pad. There is a big shout for LBW, and up goes the finger. Tryon takes the review straightaway here. No bat involved, and Ball Tracking shows it to be just clipping the leg stump. The umpire's call goes in favour of the hosts, and Tryon has to walk back with disappointment written all over her face. South Africa Women are 221/8 now! 221/8

45.3 OUT! IN THE AIR.....GONE! INDIA WOMEN ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER! More than 40,000, and billions watching at home - this is a moment to cherish forever, and the emotions are pouring out from the girls. Coming to the delivery, Deepti Sharma tosses it up, a full toss outside off, keeping it away from the batter. Nadine De Klerk makes room to go over covers but has to reach out and fails to get the timing. It flies over extra covers, where Harmanpreet Kaur times her leap to perfection and grabs it with two hands over her head. It is fitting that the catch is taken by the Indian skipper, and Deepti wraps up the World Cup with a fifer. Every Indian player surrounds Kaur in celebration, and tears of joy roll down their faces. INDIA WOMEN WIN THE FINAL BY 52 RUNS! 246/10

45 OUT! KHAKA IS RUN OUT! India Women are just one wicket away from winning the World Cup now! Sree Charani drops it short again, on off, Nadine De Klerk steers it towards backward point and sets off for the run to retain the strike. Ayabonga Khaka responds but Deepti Sharma is quicker and throws it at the keeper's end, where Richa Ghosh does the rest. The square leg umpire gives it out on-field with the help of the smart replay. South Africa Women are 246/9 now! 246/9
