Can South Africa chase it down? Stay tuned as Sudarshanan will take you through the first ten overs of the second innings.
8.25pmWhat a debut for Amanjot Kaur! Having lost three early wickets on a slow surface, the debutant's unbeaten 41 helped India's recovery by sharing a 76-run stand off 49 balls with the experienced Deepti Sharma to take the team to a competitive 147 for 6. South Africa, despite starting well with the ball after opting to bowl first, were not aided by the fielders' dropping catches. Plus they lost the plot with the ball in the latter part of the innings.
Nonkululeko Mlaba starred with two wickets for South Africa as Ayabonga Khaka, Marizanne Kapp and Delmi Tucker shared a wicket apiece.
Delmi Tucker: "It's really hot and humid and tough to be out there. But nice to be playing under lights. We almost didn't stick to the plans we had and slipped a bit after ten overs. [On her catch] I surprised myself but I managed to keep it in. This is a nice wicket to chase on and I back our batters to do well."

Ninad: "Great debut for Amanjot! Gives the option of extra seam option and batter. She can be a direct threat to one of the spinners (Devika Vaidya?! probably). You cannot keep Pooja out of the team! "

Sriram: "How well has Deepti transitioned from a record making opener to middle order grafter to THE finisher. She often gets overshadowed by Smriti amd Harman but a vital player for India in all formats"
Kapp comes back for her third over
