4:24pm: West Indies made 68 in the back ten but were behind the eight ball after making only only six in the powerplay and 29 off the first ten. South Africa had the perfect start thanks to Mlaba's early strike and Tryon running out Campbelle. The top four made 17 off 55 balls, leaving too much for those coming in. Matthews dropped herself down to No. 6, she came in the eleventh over with the run rate under three. As was the case against India, she helped move the innings along, put up a 61-run stand off 53 alongside Gajnabi. But they seem to be quite a few runs short. Only Dercksen, the debutant was expensive. Kapp and Mlaba bowled six overs among them, went for 12 runs and picked up a wicket. South Africa should have this in the bag, can West Indies pull off a surprise? Find out with Sudarshanan, who'll be here to call the chase.

Klaas to Fletcher, 2 runs, OUT, Matthews comes back for a third on the throw, dives but can't make it!

The throw came to the keeper's left, she did well to get her hands across.
