49.2: Nahida Akter to Nadine De Klerk, Very slow through the air, full and on middle. Nadine De Klerk is a bit early to play the slog sweep, and inside edges it onto the front pad and the ball rolls back to the bowler.

49.1: Nahida Akter to Nadine De Klerk, FOUR! That should be the game for the Proteas! Very full, wide on off, turning away. Nadine De Klerk swings with all her might and loses her grip of the bottom hand, but manages to clear backward point for a boundary. 4 needed off 5 balls now.

48.6: Rabeya Khan to Masabata Klaas, Slightly full in length, around off, this is chopped to the point fielder. Klaas looks for a single, but De Klerk sends her back and yet again, the fielder is a bit late to get on the ball.

48.5: Rabeya Khan to Nadine De Klerk, HIGH UP IN THE AIR AND DROPPED! My goodness! That was an absolute dolly. Full and around the off pole from Rabeya, Nadine De Klerk mistimes it up in the air, off the toe end. The ball has the elevation but not the distance and it goes straight down the throat of the long off fielder, but it is shelled by Shorna Akter. They cross. The players on the field, and even in the dressing room are absolutely stunned. Shorna just might have dropped the match for her side.

48.4: Rabeya Khan to Masabata Klaas, Full and around off and middle. Worked down to long on for a single.

48.3: Rabeya Khan to Nadine De Klerk, Straight up in the air... lands safe! A dipping full toss, on the leg stump. Nadine De Klerk sits down on her knee and badly mistimes the slog sweep. But luckily for her, the ball lands between square leg and the converging deep mid-wicket fielder. The square leg fielder picks up and throws as the batters look for a second, but De Klerk sends her back. Joty collects the throw and breaks the stumps, but Klaas gets home just in time. They settle with a single.

47.5: Nahida Akter to Masabata Klaas, FOUR! That is a poor delivery and is punished rightly! Nahida slips a full toss, down leg. Masabata Klaas shuffles across and just helps it to the deep fine leg region and the ball races away into the fence. Nigar Sultana Joty won't be a happy captain at all. 13 needed off 13 balls now.
- 1
47.4: Nahida Akter to Nadine De Klerk, Another single stolen! Nigar Sultana Joty is absolutely fuming at the fielder there. Fullish delivery, tossed around off, spinning away. Nadine De Klerk leans forward and taps it with soft hands towards backward point and pinches in a single before the throw comes in towards the keeper.
- 1
47.3: Nahida Akter to Masabata Klaas, Needed a direct hit to put Klaas under pressure! Back of a length, on the leg stump line. Masabata Klaas heaves it to mid on and steals a single as the fielder misses her shy at the bowling end.

49.6: Tumi Sekhukhune to Mst Ritu Moni, Another brace to end the innings! Tumi spots the batter shuffling across and she tries to keep it away from her. On a length, Ritu drags it in front of square on the leg side to the right of deep mid-wicket. The fielder in the deep gets to her right and throws it towards the bowling end. Not the best of throws as it dribbles towards Sinalo Jafta and it is away from her. Sinalo moves to her right and releases an underarm throw at the batting end but she misses. That allows Moni to reach home with a dive. 9 runs off the final over and Bangladesh end up with 232 on the board!

49.5: Tumi Sekhukhune to Mst Ritu Moni, Near the tramline on off, full in length. Mst Ritu Moni walks across and heaves it to the right of deep mid-wicket for a couple of runs.

49.4: Tumi Sekhukhune to Shorna Akter, Full and on off, jammed out to mid off for a single.

49.3: Tumi Sekhukhune to Shorna Akter, Comedy of errors! And that will be FIFTY FOR AKTER! Shorna raises her bat towards the dugout and Nigar Sultana Joty and Co. are all smiles in a standing ovation. Slower one from Tumi, on a good length, outside off, Akter reaches out and taps it to point. It goes straight to Laura Wolvaardt there and Akter is called through for a quick single by her partner but she is caught ball-watching. Both batters are at the batting end before Shorna starts running towards the bowling end. Laura throws it towards the keeper, Sinalo Jafta, who then tries to lob it towards the bowler but she has her gloves on and her throw goes over and wide of the bowler. The ball rolls towards long on and that allows Shorna to complete the run and also run one more. Also, this is the fastest ODI half century by any Bangladesh Women cricketer in history. Now, that is some achievement from Shorna!

49.2: Tumi Sekhukhune to Shorna Akter, On a length, outside off, Akter swings a bit too hard and loses her shape in the process. Bunts it back to the bowler.
- 2
49.1: Tumi Sekhukhune to Shorna Akter, Good running! Tumi bowls the off-cutter and keeps it away from the batter's arc, on a length. Akter is made to reach out and she slams it to the left of long off. Moni comes charging back at the bowling end and reaches home before the throw comes in from the deep.

47.6: Marizanne Kapp to Mst Ritu Moni, FOUR! A hat-trick of boundaries to end the over! Kapp goes searching for the yorker but ends up bowling a low full toss, outside off. Moni just guides it with an angled bat face to beat the diving backward point fielder to her right for another boundary. 17 runs off the over!

47.5: Marizanne Kapp to Mst Ritu Moni, FOUR! Two in two for Mst Ritu Moni! Kapp goes short, but the line is around the left shoulder. Moni gets inside the line and rises with the bounce. Helps the pull to the left of short fine leg for four more.

47.4: Marizanne Kapp to Mst Ritu Moni, FOUR! Nicely done! On a back of a length, around off, Mst Ritu Moni waits on the back foot and uses the pace on the ball. Opens the bat face and glides it between short third and backward point for a boundary.

47.2: Marizanne Kapp to Shorna Akter, And again! On a length, on middle, Shorna flicks it between deep mid-wicket and long on and once again, the batters push for the second run. The throw comes in from the deep and Moni is struggling to reach the bowling end but the throw lacks the power and it reaches Kapp on a couple of bounces. As a result, Ritu reaches home safely.

47.1: Marizanne Kapp to Shorna Akter, Tight second run! On a back of a length, on off, Shorna nudges it off the back foot in front of deep mid-wicket. Tumi Sekhukhune swoops in from the deep and gets rid of the ball quickly but the throw is wayward at the batting end. It is well wide of the keeper to her left and that allows Shorna to get home.
49.3: Nahida Akter to Nadine De Klerk, SIX! NADINE DE KLERK FINISHES OFF IN STYLE! And for the second time in a row, she has helped her side to cross the winning line. Nadine De 'Klutch' as she is very fondly known in the dressing room, holds her nerves and does the job once again for the Proteas. Coming to the delivery, Nahida bowls a loosener as it is a full toss, on the leg stump line. Nadine De Klerk gets her bat under the ball and smokes it powerfully behind deep mid-wicket for a cracking six. Three back-to-back wins for the Proteas. Bangladesh Women, on the other hand, fought till the last ball, came so close to winning, but yet again, their fielding lapses cost them the game. Absolutely contrasting scenes in both camps and that is sport in a nutshell. Hugs and cheers in the South African dugout, and stunned silence in the Bangladeshi shed. SOUTH AFRICA WOMEN WIN BY 3 WICKETS!
