- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR19.4 Massive strike! Knocked her over. On a length on off, just a little bit of movement inwards. Wolvaardt was uncomfortable on the previous ball, looks to push it to off again. The ball misses the inside edge to knock her stumps. The opener's stay in the middle ends at 41. Moni is ecstatic and why wouldn't she be. 69/27.2 Brits' struggle is over. She steps forward but the inswinger stops on her a tad, she can't keep the flick down and it's taken this time at mid-wicket. Bangladesh strike in the 8th over 30/120.1 One brings two for Bangladesh! Goodall's stuttering stint in the middle ends. Tossed up ball outside off, Goodall plays the reverse sweep. Hits it towards backward point where Rumana takes a good catch diving to her left. This is an excellent phase for Bangladesh. All the pressure-building overs now bearing fruit. 69/333.2 how unfortunate! Kapp punches it back down the pitch, Rumana dives to field and the ball brushes the fingers on the way, Luus is backing up too far and is run-out! She does not even wait for the third umpire as she walks off. She was happy to trust the bowler that it flicked the fingers 119/529.5 straight back to the bowler. As soft as it gets. Did the ball stop on du Preez? She chips it back down the pitch and Rumana gleefully accepts the chance 101/448.3 Fargana Hoque Pinky has her eye on the ball and takes a superb catch. She had to reach it at the last moment, running in from deep midwicket. A big wicket for Bangladesh as Kapp is the batter dismissed. She looked to heave the length ball over cow corner but got more height than distance. 203/944.4 Jahanara Alam gets the dangerous Tryon. Crucial breakthrough at a crucial time. Tryon bangs her bat down in disappointment. It was a length ball, she looked to go over mid-off but miscued it straight to Sharmin Akter there. She did jump early but managed to hold on. This wicket could help Bangladesh chase a little less, when they bat. 190/645.2 Chetty is trapped plumb in front! Length ball from over the wicket from Trisna, a hint of movement inwards. Chetty is through her shot in the morning while the ball came to her at noon. Hit on the back leg right in front of the sticks. Hawk-Eye confirms just that. A review lost for South Africa. Trisna continues her impressive run with the ball. 193/747.2 Easy as. Length ball outside off, Ismail looks to stands tall and hit it over point. Miscues it straight to Jahanara there. South Africa are eight down. 199/849.5 South Africa have been bowled out! Moni bowls on a length outside off, Khaka charges down to go over the off-side. Misses and Sultana does the rest. 207/10Extras12 (lb 6, w 6)TOTAL207 all out (49.5 Overs, RR: 4.15)Fall of wickets: 1-30 (Tazmin Brits, 7.2 ov), 2-69 (Laura Wolvaardt, 19.4 ov), 3-69 (Lara Goodall, 20.1 ov), 4-101 (Mignon du Preez, 29.5 ov), 5-119 (Sune Luus, 33.2 ov), 6-190 (Chloe Tryon, 44.4 ov), 7-193 (Trisha Chetty, 45.2 ov), 8-199 (Shabnim Ismail, 47.2 ov), 9-203 (Marizanne Kapp, 48.3 ov), 10-207 (Ayabonga Khaka, 49.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR19.3 Khaka breaks through. Very full on the stumps, Sultana clears her front leg to drive, but it sneaks through. The resolute opening stand is broken. Khaka is delighted and that's a wicket South Africa needed badly 69/121.3 Uh oh! The other set batter, Sharmin Akhter follows her partner Sultana to the dugout. On a length just in the corridor outside off. Akhter looks to glide it to third man yet again. Ends up being a nothing shot. Gets a thick outside edge and Chetty does the rest. How many times have we seen Khaka do this? South Africa well in this now. 72/226.1 Just one look was enough for the TV ump to send Fargana Hoque Pinky on her way. Bangladesh continue to falter in the run-chase after seemingly being in control at the start. Tryon gave little width outside off, but Rumana managed to glide it towards short third man and tried to pinch a quick single. But Klaas' direct hit meant that Pinky failed to make it in despite the dive. 85/421.5 Two in the over for Khaka! South Africa have bossed their way right back into this. The angle across the left-hander works for Khaka and Murshida's promotion up the order doesn't get the desired result for Bangladesh. She fails to resist going for the drive against a full ball, angled away from here. Gets a thick outside edge as Chetty takes another catch. Bangladesh have slid to 72/3 from 69/0. 72/334.1 ODI wicket number 100! Just the fifth South African to the mark. What a start to yet another spell. Harmless ball on a length outside off. Rumaha Ahmed goes for the drive away from the body with very little footwork. Gets a thick inside edge to Chetty, who does not drop these. Is this the final nail in Bangladesh's coffin? 108/546.6 Full outside off, driven towards covers, where a misfield allows them a run. The batters take on the arm of the sweeper cover, who fires a flat throw to the bowler. Klaas takes off the bails as Joty is just short. 170/835.3 Catching practice to get Klaas on the board. Full ball around off, Salma looks to go over midwicket but only gets a top edge. Ismail runs in from mid-on to pouch it safely. 113/645.5 Timber! It's a sight Ismail so loves. It was a length ball, there to be hit. Moni swings across the line but misses and sees her leg stump pegged back. End of the 53-run stand and perhaps Bangladesh's resurgence. 166/748.3 This time Chetty does well. Akter charges down to a length ball but gets a thick outside edge. Chetty sticks her right glove out to pouch that. 174/949.3 Castled! It's all over. Bangladesh have been bowled out for 175. Full and speared on the pads. Trisna missed the flick, the ball deflected on to the stumps off the back pad. 175/10Extras22 (b 1, lb 2, nb 2, w 17)TOTAL175 all out (49.3 Overs, RR: 3.53)Fall of wickets: 1-69 (Shamima Sultana, 19.3 ov), 2-72 (Sharmin Akhter, 21.3 ov), 3-72 (Murshida Khatun, 21.5 ov), 4-85 (Fargana Hoque, 26.1 ov), 5-108 (Rumana Ahmed, 34.1 ov), 6-113 (Salma Khatun, 35.3 ov), 7-166 (Ritu Moni, 45.5 ov), 8-170 (Nigar Sultana, 46.6 ov), 9-174 (Nahida Akter, 48.3 ov), 10-175 (Fariha Trisna, 49.3 ov)
