END OF OVER:
20 | 6 Runs 2 Wkts | SA-W: 189/4 | RR: 9.45

India used just the five bowlers today. No Patil, and the other spinners couldn't exert enough control. Renuka and Deepti, the experienced duo, had an off day. Can India chase this down? Looks tough, but the pitch looks to be a belter. Find out shortly with Shashank.

8:33pm Just 44 off the last four overs. I say JUST because South Africa had the platform just before the death overs began. They had Kapp and Brits on-song then. But India have managed to claw back at the death, even though this is going to take some chasing. Brits played an innings of two styles - one where she struggled at the start, the other where she took the attack to the opposition.

"Glad I could time, tried to hit it hard at the start instead of holding my base," Brits says. "Don't think the wicket is too bad. Hoping in the next T20 I start off the way the way I ended."
