ICC Women's World Cup 2017: India vs South Africa, 5 things that went wrong for Mithali Raj's side

#2 Middle order collapse

van Niekerk was sensational with the ball

India needed a solid display from their batting order if they were to stand a chance tonight against South Africa. But it turned out to be a rather embarrassing effort from the ladies as a middle order collapse dented their chances.

India's three best batters faced just five balls and scored just four runs. The eves were reduced to 65/7 at one stage before Deepti Sharma and Jhulan Goswami helped them reach at least 158. Wickets fell in clusters and the side were undone in the end by some quality South African bowling.
