- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.4 edged and gone. Good catch. Fatima is elated. Full outside off, Lee drives and edges it away from the body, Sidra goes with one glove to her right and uses the other for support. Catches it well and that's a big wicket. Impressive from Fatima 9/129.2 What a catch by Ghulam Fatima! First World Cup wicket for her and fully deserved it. Tossed up around middle and leg, slower through the air as well. Wolvaardt ended up reaching for it as she looked to work it to the on side. Gets a leading edge and Ghulam dives forward to take it inches above the ground. What a time to strike for Pakistan. Wolvaardt was set and was beginning to get a move on. 110/37.4 what a catch! The struggle of Brits is over. Sidra Nawaz has taken a one-handed beauty diving to her right. Good length outside off, Brits edges with an open face as she looks to guide it fine, Nawaz dives and the ball sticks in the right mitt. She tumbles over and gets up to be hugged by her team-mates 21/247.3 Trapped plumb? Luus opts for the review, though. Full ball on middle, Luus tries to play the scoop but seems to have missed it and gotten hit on the front foot. Pakistan get the decision in their favour from the umpire but Luus takes it upstairs. But she was dead in front. End of Luus' stay in the middle. Burns a review as well. 209/729.5 Two in the over, what a spell this is turning out to be from Ghulam Fatima! Tossed up on a length outside off, du Preez goes back to cut it. But the ball turns and bounces and she ends up spooning a catch towards backward point, where Omaima Sohail dives forward and takes it. Du Preez isn't the best of starters against spin and falls without troubling the scorers. Pakistan well in this now. 110/431.6 Huge blow for South Africa. Kapp cannot believe what she has done. Looks to sweep the tossed up ball on leg but ends up hitting the full toss straight to Sidra Ameen, who runs to her left from deep square leg to take a diving catch. Kapp has her hands on her head and is down on her knees. 120/543.2 Soft, soft dismissal. Tossed up outside off, Tryon looks to come down the track and play it down the ground. Gets done in by the flight and spoons an easy catch to the bowler. Tryon was starting to get dangerous and now departs. 175/649.6 Brilliantly bowled! Sana has the final say in her small tussle with Chetty. Bowls a full slow ball around off, Chetty looks to whip it but misses to lose her leg stick. Three wickets for Sana. 223/949.4 Full toss on off, Ismail mistimes it to mid-on. Baig fires a throw at the bowler's end but misses. This time there is a better backing up as the fielder from square leg fires a throw to the keeper, who ran Ismail out. 222/8Extras9 (lb 3, nb 2, w 4)TOTAL223/9 (50 Overs, RR: 4.46)Did not bat: A KhakaFall of wickets: 1-9 (Lizelle Lee, 2.4 ov), 2-21 (Tazmin Brits, 7.4 ov), 3-110 (Laura Wolvaardt, 29.2 ov), 4-110 (Mignon du Preez, 29.5 ov), 5-120 (Marizanne Kapp, 31.6 ov), 6-175 (Chloe Tryon, 43.2 ov), 7-209 (Sune Luus, 47.3 ov), 8-222 (Shabnim Ismail, 49.4 ov), 9-223 (Trisha Chetty, 49.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR25.1 given out LBW. Nahida though reviews. Big moment in the game. No bat involved. Three reds and the partnership is broken. Good length in-angler on middle and leg, Nahida swipes and misses, is hit in line and low on the pad, going onto crash into the stumps. The review is wasted as well 95/36.1 edged and caught at wide slip. Ismail roars in delight. Sidra is disappointed as she walks back. Full outside off, she drives and edges it, reverse-cupped near the throat by Lee and South Africa have broken through 26/16.2 Two in two! Ismail is on a hat-trick. The Pakistani skipper is gone. Full on middle, Bismah looks to flick across the line, but closes the bat-face too early, thick leading-edges lobs to short cover where it is taken easily 26/237.6 Escaped the previous ball, gone this time! The set batter in Omaima Sohail departs. Short length ball, a bit off pace. Sohail pulls it straight down deep square leg's throat for Lee to complete 50 ODI catches. ODI best for Sohail with the bat, will have to wait to see if it is enough for Pakistan. 144/448.5 That's a telling blow! Dar was heard saying "aaja, aaja!"(comeback for the second). The throw was at her end, where Khaka takes it and throws the stumps down. Dar is not in the frame. Just one there and the main batter is gone. It was another full ball that Baig hit towards wide long-on. 213/838.2 Is that it for Pakistan then? Kapp gets Riaz and Pakistan lose five now. Length ball outside off, Riaz was yet to get her eye in. She looks to cut without any footwork. Gets a thick outside edge that Chetty gobbles up. Riaz's first duck in ODIs in two years. The task for Pakistan gets steeper, South Africa in front now. 145/540.6 Huge appeal! The umpire slowly raises her finger. Sana seems to be trapped right in front but she opts for the DRS. It was a full ball on middle and leg, she missed the flick to be rapped on the front pad. Ball tracker shows three reds. Want a wicket, South Africa? Call Khaka, maybe! 162/646.5 Clever Kapp gets her second! Slow and full outside off, Nawaz perhaps wasn't expecting it. Looks to go over the circle on the off side, ends up slicing it to backward point. She was hanging on the back foot expecting another short one. 193/749.2 Cometh the hour, cometh Shabnim Ismail! What a catch to end Baig's threatening cameo. Bowls a slower one that Baig top edges in an attempted heave. Ismail herself then changes track, runs backward to her right, eyes on the ball, and takes a catch where midwicket would have been. Superb athleticism. 216/949.5 Done and dusted! Ismail does it like she always does. Slower ball outside off, Fatima couldn't get back to it. Wanted to get off strike but Chetty runs it to run Sandhu out. Six-run win for South Africa. 217/10Extras11 (lb 2, w 9)TOTAL217 all out (49.5 Overs, RR: 4.35)Fall of wickets: 1-26 (Sidra Amin, 6.1 ov), 2-26 (Bismah Maroof, 6.2 ov), 3-95 (Nahida Khan, 25.1 ov), 4-144 (Omaima Sohail, 37.6 ov), 5-145 (Aliya Riaz, 38.2 ov), 6-162 (Fatima Sana, 40.6 ov), 7-193 (Sidra Nawaz, 46.5 ov), 8-213 (Nida Dar, 48.5 ov), 9-216 (Diana Baig, 49.2 ov), 10-217 (Ghulam Fatima, 49.5 ov)
