Curtains down - That wraps up an entertaining contest in Bristol, where South Africa secured a crucial win and two valuable points, while the Netherlands' wait for a first-ever Women's T20 World Cup victory goes on. The action now shifts to Old Trafford in Manchester, where Scotland Women will take on Sri Lanka Women on Friday, 26th June, with the match set to begin at 5.30 pm GMT. As always, you can join us a little earlier for all the build-up and pre-match coverage. Until then, thank you for your company and goodbye!
The victorious skipper of South Africa Women - Laura Wolvaardt says it was a pretty decent effort with the bat. She adds that they assessed early on that it was a good wicket to bat on and looked to make the most of the conditions by being positive in the Powerplay. She heaps praise on Tazmin Brits, saying she batted excellently and held the innings together. Laura says the Dutch got off to a pretty good start with the bat, but her bowlers did well to take the pace off the ball through the middle overs, which helped them regain control of the game. Looking ahead to the clash at Lord's, she says it will be awesome to play at such an iconic venue. She acknowledges Bangladesh's strong spin attack, and she wants her side to bat positively against them.
The captain of Netherlands Women - Babette de Leede says that they were thinking of restricting South Africa to around 170-180. Adds that they batted really well and 200 plus was a bit too much for them. Mentions that Sanya Khurana and Phebe Molkenboer batted well, but unfortunately, they could not carry the momentum in the middle. Shares that they have grown more and more with every game. Their fielding has improved, but the bowling is still not up to the mark. However, she hopes it clicks, and they can win over Pakistan in the next game. Says that the support from the Orange Army has been amazing, even the ones back home. Admits that having friends and family out here supporting them feels special.
Time to hear from the two captains now...
A clinical finish with the ball - South Africa Women may be slightly concerned by their inability to strike in the Powerplay, though they were denied an early breakthrough when Chloe Tryon put down a chance off Marizanne Kapp's bowling. Kapp was outstanding with the new ball, extracting movement and conceding just 11 runs from her three overs. The breakthrough eventually came in the eighth over through Tryon, before Shabnim Ismail added another to put the Proteas in control. From there, the wickets flowed at the death, with Ayabonga Khaka claiming a superb three-wicket haul and Tryon adding another scalp as South Africa wrapped up a comfortable victory.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Undoubtedly, Tazmin Brits wins the award for her unbeaten century (114 off 69). She says she cannot remember too much about the innings, but mentions that she particularly enjoyed going over cover. She admits she did not realise she was closing in on a hundred, as her sole focus was on helping South Africa get past the 200-run mark. Reflecting on the previous game against India, she says she was disappointed with herself for putting Laura Wolvaardt under pressure and wanted to show a lot more intent today. She ends by saying that, whether she is in the playing XI or not, she always tries to represent the badge with pride and, when given the opportunity, gives her best for the country.
Brits steals the show - Earlier in the game, South Africa Women powered their way to their highest total while batting first in this World Cup, driven by a magnificent unbeaten century from Tazmin Brits. She shared a commanding 121-run opening stand with captain Laura Wolvaardt, laying the perfect platform before Annerie Dercksen's explosive 37 off just 16 balls propelled the Proteas beyond the 200-run mark. It was a tough day in the field for the Netherlands Women in the sweltering Bristol heat, but there was one special moment to cherish as Hannah Landheer claimed her maiden T20 World Cup wicket, a milestone she will remember for a long time.
Dutch run out of steam - Netherlands Women came out with positive intent, racing to 50 in the Powerplay as both openers took the attack to the South African bowlers. Phebe Molkenboer's new opening partner, Sanya Khurana, contributed a brisk 36 off 30 before departing, while Phebe Molkenboer held one end together with a determined 41. However, once the fielding restrictions were lifted, the scoring rate slowed dramatically, and the chase gradually drifted away from them. Sterre Kalis provided a handy contribution in the middle overs, but the Dutch suffered a late collapse, slipping from 100/1 to 120/8 and eventually falling well short of a daunting target.
Proteas keep the pressure on - South Africa Women firmly keep themselves in the race for the semi-finals with a commanding performance in Bristol. They may have hoped for an even bigger victory margin, but credit must go to the Netherlands Women, who refused to throw in the towel and fought hard in pursuit of a daunting target. The chase was always going to be a huge challenge, and the Dutch eventually slipped to their fourth successive defeat. However, for a team playing in their first-ever Women's T20 World Cup, every game is part of a valuable learning journey.

No hat-trick. This time, the line is not at the stumps by Ayabonga Khaka. Sticks to the slower one but it is outside off, on a good length. Caroline de Lange pokes at it and is lucky not to nick this one behind. South Africa Women win by 88 runs and give their net run rate a much-needed boost.
Caroline de Lange to face the hat-trick ball.

Ayabonga Khaka To Hannah Landheer OUT!
OUT! BOWLED! Two in two for Ayabonga Khaka and the third wicket in the over. It is the leg-cutter that does the trick for Khaka again. On a good length, angled in, on middle. Hannah Landheer gets on her toes and shapes up to work it across the line with a closed bat face. The ball lands and straightens enough to go past the outside edge and hits the top of the middle stump. Ayabonga is on a hat-trick now.
Hannah Landheer walks out to the middle now.

Ayabonga Khaka To Iris Zwilling OUT!
OUT! TIMBER! Completely outfoxed. It is the leg-cutter from Khaka, on a length, on off and middle. Iris Zwilling clears the front leg and has a heave across the line. She does not pick the change of pace and swings early. One hand comes off the bat handle and Zwilling fails to connect. The ball goes through to clatter into the stumps.

Shabnim Ismail To Sterre Kalis OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Shabnim Ismail strikes, but the credit goes to the keeper for a fantastic catch. This is banged into the pitch, down the leg side, not a wicket-taking delivery. Sterre Kalis looks to pull it away, but gets a bit cramped up for room and the ball just brushes her gloves. It goes behind where Sinalo Jafta puts in a full-length dive to her left to grab it.

Short of a length and on middle, Phebe Molkenboer pulls it away wide of deep square leg for a couple of runs.
DRINKS BREAK! The Netherlands made an encouraging start in the Powerplay, but the innings has since fizzled out. From here, it is more about what they can take out of the remainder of the chase than anything else. South Africa have done well to wrest back control after leaking runs in the Powerplay. With net run rate likely to play a crucial role in the race for the semifinals, the Proteas will know there is no room for complacency and will be keen to finish the job as emphatically as possible. Shabnim Ismail (2-0-27-0) to bowl after the break.

Nonkululeko Mlaba To Phebe Molkenboer
Fractionally short, on off, a bit of away turn. Molkenboer punches it to deep cover for a single.
DRINKS! Netherlands Women have been electric in the Powerplay, not shying away from playing their shots. Sanya Khurana has shown a great range of shots, while Phebe Molkenboer is also supporting her well. South Africa Women could have had a wicket, but Chloe Tryon spilled that chance, and now they will have to come up with some different plans in the middle overs. The Proteas also know that the more the margin of win, the better, but you cannot count the Dutch out, just yet, with this start. Here is Nonkululeko Mlaba to bowl now.

Shabnim Ismail To Sanya Khurana
FOUR! That will only add to the frustration for Shabnim Ismail. Another expensive over from her, 14 runs off it. Ismail bends her back and digs it in short, over middle. Khurana tries to take on the short ball with the pull. The ball climbs onto her, and it flies over the keeper off a top edge. A hat-trick of fours to end the Powerplay, and the 50 is up for the Netherlands.

Marizanne Kapp To Phebe Molkenboer
Big appeal for LBW, but turned down! Fuller delivery, on middle, shaping in a bit. Phebe Molkenboer looks to work it across the line, but misses and gets hit on the back pad. Laura Wolvaardt has a chat with Kapp and takes the review. Remember, Kapp is on 99 T20I wickets at the moment. UltraEdge confirms no bat involved, and Ball Tracking shows the ball is missing the leg stump. Not Out it is!
A positive start for the Netherlands, with the opening pair asking a few questions of the South African pace attack. Marizanne Kapp to continue...
