17.4 nicked and gone! And Tryon has broken this game open by removing Mandhana! It sounds like a library in Navi Mumbai now! Back of a length outside off and this seems to skid through. Not sure that is as short as Mandhana thinks it is and she subsequently pays the price. Wafts at it and gets a nick that is gobbled up sharply by Jafta. Tryon is pumped, and SA finally have something resembling a foothold in this final! 104/1

27.5 and the exhaustion tells! Shafali falls to the big shot, and Khaka, back into the attack, strikes back for South Africa! Angled in on a length on leg stump, perhaps as a ploy to tuck up the batter. Shafali gives herself room, trying to go over mid off but just does not muster enough elevation. Luus, stood right on the ring, gets her hands up above her head and snares the chance. SA have their second wicket, and Shafali departs after a tone-setting knock! 166/2

29.4 has that carried?! Wolvaardt seems to think so! Rodrigues looks at the umpire, and we are going to have to see more replays to see if Rodrigues indeed has to trudge off! Fullish outside off and this seems to just stick in the surface too. Rodrigues wants to crack this through extra cover and hits it uppishly. Wolvaardt stoops down low to her left and seems to snaffle it up. The third umpire takes multiple looks at it, and decides that the fingers are underneath the ball. Right call made, and India's semi-final hero will have no further part to play with the bat tonight! 171/3

38.6 Big, big wicket for South Africa as Harmanpreet falls. Mlaba goes wide of the crease attacking the stumps at 74.5kph. Harmanpreet stays back looking to guide that fine. She misses and sees her stumps light up. Mlaba is pumped up. 223/4

49.6 the bat goes one direction, the ball goes the other, and India finish under 300! Full toss on middle and off. Radha looks to hit it into the Arabian Sea and loses all shape. The ball skews off the outer half of the bat, and the bat drops somewhere near the crease too. Seems like both batters, this time, were intent on chancing their luck on the second but Deepti did not even cross Radha on the second, meaning that Deepti is the one to be dismissed! 298/7

43.1 a one-handed grab by de Klerk, and she makes it look very easy! Slower ball on a back of a length outside off. Amanjot does not seem to read it, and cannot come to grips with the lack of pace. She has a jab at it and chips it tamely to de Klerk's right. She flings out her right mitt, somehow navigates around the presence of Deepti at the non-striker's end, and ensures the ball remains tightly clasped. SA keep chipping away! 245/5

48.6 straight to Dercksen at deep backward square leg, and she makes no mistake! Ghosh cannot believe what she has done! This is smart bowling by Khaka too. She follows Ghosh again with a very full ball. Ghosh tries to bring her wrists into play, gets decent purchase but not the requisite elevation to clear the fielder. Regulation catch completed, and Ghosh walks back after a brisk cameo! 292/6

41.1 miscued a mile up, and Amanjot takes it, after multiple attempts! A juggling act that would have had a billion hearts beating faster, but it has been taken, and there is a roar at the ground! Given a bit of air on a length on the stumps. Wolvaardt's eyes light up and she has an almighty mow at it. Gets under it too much, though, and Amanjot is in the game at deep mid wicket. She runs around to her left, and the ball initially seems to pop out. But Amanjot keeps her eyes on it till the end and manages to snaffle it with a fling of her right mitt, right as it is threatening to dash Indian hopes. What a moment in the game, and Wolvaardt walks back after another majestic World Cup knockout hundred! 220/7

9.3 A run out gets India the opening wicket, and Navi Mumbai roars. Slower short of a length ball on off, Brits works this to Amanjot at mid-on off the backfoot. She has one-and-a-half stump to aim and nails a direct hit with Brits well short 51/1

11.5 Charani gets wicket No. 2 for India and Bosch's difficult tournament ends in misery. She departs for a six-ball duck and Navi Mumbai finds its voice again. Slower through the air on middle and leg, she plays all around it and is trapped on the pad, right in front of the stumps. Up goes the umpire's finger and Bosch does not review. 62/2

20.2 and Shafali has broken this partnership! This is beyond any script that could have been written, and Shafali can do no wrong! Angled in on a length just outside off, and this seems to hold in the surface. Luus wants to work it to leg but the lack of pace means she pops it rather tamely to the bowler. Shafali is smiling even before the ball gets to her, and she gobbles up the chance by stooping down low. Runs to her skipper straightaway, and Harmanpreet's gamble has paid off handsomely! 114/3

22.1 strangled down leg, and Shafali is turning this game right on its head! Talk about a redemption story! And Kapp is distraught as she walks off. This is a back of a length delivery, pitching on middle and leg, and then spinning back in. Perhaps the worst ball Kapp has faced so far tonight, but all she manages is a nick through to the keeper, who does incredibly well to move to her left and then snare the chance. SA in a big spot of bother, and their often reliable big-match player is now back in the shed too! 123/4

29.3 popped to short mid wicket, and Jafta has been put out of her misery! Deepti tosses this up a little outside off and Jafta cannot resist the temptation to have a slog at it. Makes a complete hash of the connection, though, and the ball skews off the inside half. Radha, stationed straighter than usual, accepts the offering with glee, and half of SA's side now back in the hut! 148/5

39.3 A corker of a yorker and Dercksen is a goner! Scrambled seam yorker at 86kph on off stump, Dercksen fails to get her bat down in time and Navi Mumbai roars in delight. A timely wicket for India, with South Africa just ticking away 209/6

41.4 thumped on the front pad, and given! Immediately reviewed by Tryon! But Deepti, irrespective, is having a day out in Navi Mumbai, on India's day of days! This is zipped in very full on leg stump. Tryon falls across a touch and then plays all around it. Smoked on the front pad and this looks pretty adjacent if there is no bat involved. Well, Tryon has missed this comfortably. Ball Tracking comes up and...shows the ball to be clipping the outside of leg stump. Umpire's Call, and that Umpire's Call has been celebrated across the length and the breadth of this nation. Tryon dejected, and that is another potentially decisive moment in this contest! 221/8

45.3 The dreams of these Indian squad members, through stories of toil, of sacrifice, of persisting and persevering when it was easier to give up, now intertwines with the hopes and yearnings of a billion! India pitch up in paradise and in every house and street, in every parish and city, and in every state and part of this country, they will cherish this fantasy yet fully real fairy tale feeling, and bottle it up to savour for generations! And this Indian side, labelled a lot of things, will tonight, only be called, undisputedly, the champions of the world! And this game ends, rather fittingly, with Harmanpreet taking the catch, and with Deepti, producing one of the all-time great World Cup final displays, picking up the wicket. This is a low full toss just outside off. de Klerk backs away, trying to go inside out. Slices it towards extra cover and Harmanpreet, running back, takes it over her shoulder. And the party begins. In the stands and everywhere else. India are thrilled to bits. This is the moment they have been waiting for. This is the moment they felt they were perhaps going to be denied when they lost three on the spin but now, that does not matter. Nothing else matters. India have done it. And they have done it in front of their fans. But do spare a thought for South Africa. They came into the final chasing history, just like India, and their skipper gave it a proper rattle too. But in the end, they just could not muster enough of a chase! 246/10

44.6 has Khaka been run out?! This looks mighty close! And Khaka has indeed been run out! And guess who it was with the throw - yes, it was Deepti! Back of a length just outside off. de Klerk taps it towards short third and calls for the single. Khaka has no option but to go for it, and Deepti's throw is right on the stumps, with Ghosh doing the rest. SA nine down and on the brink now! 246/9
