- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR24.6 looks to sweep from a straight line... and the ball bobbles up through to Jafta! Not given but SA review. Was there any bat or glove involved? If not, then lbw is potentially in the mix. Nothing on the shot, the ball then clipping Fargana on the forearm in front of middle and off. And ball-tracking has it slamming into off stump! SA had a bob each way with the review, and Fargana's staunch knock comes to an end 73/216.1 Rubya slog-sweeps... but miscues to mid-on! SA have the breakthrough. Floated up very wide of off stump and the attempt to drag it through midwicket goes awry. Poor connection, almost didn't carry to the fielder. Bangladesh's openers are finally separated 53/142.3 rocks back and cuts to point, it's a terrible, terrible nix-up that sees Supta sent back after being halfway down. Total breakdown in communication 164/440.1 against the run of play, SA have the big wicket of Joty at a time when she was beginning to look really dangerous. This was nicely tossed up. Joty got to the pitch and hammered it flat, she thought she'd got enough elevation on that but saw Woolvardt intercept that expertly at cover. Superb knock 150/346.4 tucks it to fine leg, they scamper a run that seemed tight. The direct hit at the striker's end seems to have felled Mostary despite a full-length dive. 195/546.6 right into the blockhole, Rabeya plays all around it and is castled! What an anti-climatic end. Rabeya was billed to be the end-overs destroyer for Bangladesh but goes without opening her account. 195/6Extras16 (lb 4, w 12)TOTAL232/6 (50 Overs, RR: 4.64)Fall of wickets: 1-53 (Rubya Haider, 16.1 ov), 2-73 (Fargana Hoque, 24.6 ov), 3-150 (Nigar Sultana, 40.1 ov), 4-164 (Sharmin Akhter, 42.3 ov), 5-195 (Sobhana Mostary, 46.4 ov), 6-195 (Rabeya Khan, 46.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.6 worked off pads leg side, does Wolvaardt want two...? There's hesitation from both batters as the throw comes in, and it's a simple run-out for Joty to effect! Calamity for South Africa, and it's their usually cool-headed captain walking off. Dunno if the two was on, but certainly not if you don't commit 58/21.1 chipped back to the bowler, gone first ball! Brits won't be leading the chase tonight, as she did in South Africa's win over NZ. Playing back, popped off the toe of the bat, Nahida clings on in front of her face. Gives it the double-pistols in celebration. Bangladesh are gunning for it 3/115.2 another one gone, Bosch holes out to mid-off! Tries to go for another big swing down the ground but completely miscues it, high towards the fielder in the ring and there's no mistake from Mostary. Two in three balls for Bangladesh and the swingometer lurches wildly in their direction 62/318.1 Absolute ripper! How do you play that?! That drifts in to pitch around off and spins past the outside edge as Dercksen pushes at it to defend, kissing the off stump and leaving South Africa in a deeper mess 64/440.2 slogged without timing... and Kapp knows! Shorna is well in off the rope at long-off as she settles under the catch, and Bangladesh can glimpse history once again. Huge wicket, just as SA were looking to get going. Kapp screamed in frustration as she realised she hadn't got the connection 163/622.1 And another one bites the dust! Fahima Khatun into the action as she knocks Jafta over. It starts out from outside off, drifts in to pitch around off on a length and Jafta misses her cut, with the ball just hitting the top of off. Fahima gets down on a knee and pumps her fist. I am sure a lot of Bangladesh supporters must be sharing that feeling 78/544.5 dropped behind square, there's a direct hit from backward point... and Tryon is short! Just a couple of inches as she responded to de Klerk's call. Brilliant from Ritu Moni, this one's not done yet! Vital knock from Tryon, her second in as many games. But again she's unable to see it through 198/7Extras5 (b 2, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL235/7 (49.3 Overs, RR: 4.74)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Tazmin Brits, 1.1 ov), 2-58 (Laura Wolvaardt, 14.6 ov), 3-62 (Anneke Bosch, 15.2 ov), 4-64 (Annerie Dercksen, 18.1 ov), 5-78 (Sinalo Jafta, 22.1 ov), 6-163 (Marizanne Kapp, 40.2 ov), 7-198 (Chloe Tryon, 44.5 ov)
