8.30pm Tanya Bhatia's five-ball cameo of 11 has helped India reach 130. Run scoring isn't easy on this slow and low pitch, and de Klerk's double-wicket blow in the middle overs ensured India couldn't get away. Ismail was excellent too, taking three wickets, while the star for India was the captain Harmanpreet Kaur, who made 43 in 34 balls. It was a debut to forget for Shafali Verma with the bat, who was out for a duck, but so was Sachin Tendulkar on his ODI debut! We'll be back with the chase in ten minutes. Stick around since this won't be an easy chase for South Africa, especially with a very loud home crowd behind India

Seetharaman Ram: "Let us admit it. India is not cut out for T20 - men or women. " -- Let's see both innings? The pitch is very slow, and it won't be easy for SA with India's spinners
Karun Pandey: "India need to reach 130 and then let the bowlers do the clean up. I'm putting my money on Poonam Yadav tonight. 3 wickets to her. You read it here first!"
