That ends the first game of this double header. South Africa become the first team from Group B to make it to the semis. Who will join them? If England beat West Indies, they are through. But if West Indies win, then the final match between South Africa and West Indies will decide who amongst England or West Indies make it through. The Eng-WI clash will begin at 7 pm local (0800 GMT). Hop over to that game!
Victorious South African skipper, Dane van Niekerk apologizes first up, to everyone, for kicking the ball during the second innings, admitting that emotions got the better of her. Credits Pakistan for giving them a run for their money, keeping coming at them and putting considerable pressure. Lauds Laura Wolvaardt's innings, especially because as she bats at the top and had to bat in the middle. Believes that there is still room for improvement, especially in the fielding while the top order needs to be more consistent.
Pakistan captain, Javeria Khan says that both fielding and bowling let them down. The first 16 overs and the last over with the bat was where they were strong, according to her. Believes that they should have restricted South Africa to under 120 but the plans were not executed well. Praises Laura Wolvaardt for playing a superb innings. On her own team's batting display, Javeria says that he batters need to understand when should they take the charge and not play shots at any stage.
LAURA WOLVAARDT HAS BEEN NAMED THE PLAYER OF THE MATCH. Rates this innings as her most valuable contribution ever made to the team. Details that number 5 is a new role for her and she is trying to adjust but is enjoying the challenge. On the pitch, Wolvaardt says that it was on the slower side and the batters had to take some time before playing their shots. Feels proud that she could play well today and is happier that they have made it to the semis.
Kudos to South Africa for staying focussed. They could have lost their way after multiple mistakes but they kept believing and stuck to their guns. The bowling was excellent, defending 136 with ease. It was a total team effort, with only Ayabonga Khaka having an off day. Please stay tuned for the presentation...
Could this match have gone the other way? Yes, it could have. South Africa were 17/2. But Pakistan let the opportunity slip by. They got another chance, when they had them 64/4 but Laura Wolvaardt's cameo floored them. Then, with the bat, they were 18/0 in 3 overs but totally lost way from there.
Third win on the bounce for the Protea Women and they become the second team after India to qualify for the knockouts. They now await whether they will be first or second, but that too, is in their own hands, as they have a game left.
