Pitch Report

The surface that is used today is not in the center, meaning we will have a shorter boundary on one side. The pitch will remain the same throughout the match and it will help the spinners. WV Raman opines that the batters need to use their feet here, that's the best way to encounter the spinners.

Commentary

So that does it for today's T20 World Cup extravaganza! South Africa Women are on top of Group B with 6 points but have to be focused now on what happens to both the West Indies Women and the England Women when it comes to qualifying for the semi-finals. We will be back with the coverage tomorrow at 2:00 pm local time (3:30 pm IST) with England taking on Scotland in Group B and then, Australia squaring up against India at 6:00 pm local time (7:30 pm IST), both in Sharjah. Both matches have a big bearing on what happens in the qualification scenario. This is the pair of Bala and Bidipto taking your leave. Keep following Sportskeeda!

Laura Wolvaardt (South Africa Women captain): We tried our best to get it over and done with quickly. But the pitch wasn't all too helpful for that. Anyway, we have two points on the board. The performance was good again. There have been quite a few highly impressive individual performances, like Marizanne Kapp with bat and ball. She was economical once again and she just does it over and over again. Let's see now as to what happens with the qualification scenario!

Nigar Sultana (Bangladesh Women captain): I think our batting in the power play was not up to the mark. We played too many dots as well, and that adds up to the problems. We needed more runs on the board against this South African side. I think we have a good set of young players. They are pretty talented. Shorna Akter is a talented player, but has missed out in this tournament. Sobhana Mostary's runs in this World Cup pleases me. Rabeya Khan has been impressive, Marufa Akter keeps trying her best. Experienced players like Fahima Khatun are pushing hard too. So, we just need to keep things moving in the right direction. A word for the fans, they have been brilliant! Coming from Bangladesh, this has been a superb turn-out in tough circumstances back home.

Tazmin Brits (Player of the Match): I said to Bosch that we have to turn the strike. We didn't want to lose another quick wicket. She took the pressure off me with some boundaries. I keep wanting more, never satisfied with what I have achieved. It wasn't an easy wicket. They bowled slow and were quite good with the field placing. I had to try and run a bit harder and play some strokes other than what I usually play.

8:55 pm local time (10:25 pm IST):

South Africa Women win by 7 wickets with 16 balls to spare!

Tazmin Brits 42 (41) | Marizanne Kapp - 1/10 (4)
Sobhana Mostary 38 (43) | Fahima Khatun - 2/19 (4)

So, South Africa get it done and dusted in the 18th over but their net run rate has gone down from what it was before this match. However, it's 2 more points collected to sit on 6 points. Their group stage is done, but they will be satisfied with this effort on a pitch that turned quite a bit in the 2nd innings.

Tazmin Brits and Anneke Bosch played well together for the 2nd wicket with a fine 50-run partnership. Bangladesh's fielding helped a lot, and that is one area where Nigar Sultana and her team needs to do a whole lot better, but of course, the batting, when put under the pressure against spin, responded more than decently.

In the end, both Marizanne Kapp and Chole Tryon finished it off rather convincingly. Tryon got a good hit out in the middle to do her confidence a world of good.

Fahima Khatun bowled well. She turned the ball, bowled a lot slower through the air and got the ball to hold in the surface. The rest of the spinners, and Ritu Moni with her medium pace, did okay, but Bangladesh needed more on the board.

So this is it for both these teams as far as Group B goes. Bangladesh are out of the competition, but South Africa's fate is now in England's hands. If they win both their games, these are the two sides that progress into the semi-finals.

17.2 Rabeya Khan to Marizanne Kapp, good length around the off-stump. Punches it off the back foot to cover point. Kapp seals it off for the Proteas!

Scores are level.

17.1 Rabeya Khan to Chloe Tryon, good length outside the off-stump. Punches it down to long-off

Rabeya Khan [3.0-0-21-0] comes back into the attack.

So, only two runs remain for South Africa to win. They wouldn't mind doing it with a boundary, will they? Certainly not!

16.6 Nahida Akter to Chloe Tryon, flighted right up to the batter. Whips it away to deep mid-wicket

16.5 Nahida Akter to Marizanne Kapp, nicely tossed up around the off-stump. Soft hands towards mid-wicket for one

16.4 Nahida Akter to Marizanne Kapp, moves across the stumps and tries to ramp it fine. Gets an inside edge onto her pad

Another lapse in the field with the attempt from Marufa.

16.3 Nahida Akter to Marizanne Kapp, flighted wide of the stumps. Kapp tries to go big and miscues it over cover. The fielder runs back but fails to get to the ball

The 100 comes up for South Africa Women.

16.2 Nahida Akter to Marizanne Kapp, FOUR! Powerfully struck! Plenty of width and full enough. Kapp extends her arms and smacks it through cover point

16.1 Nahida Akter to Chloe Tryon, low full toss on middle and leg. Swept away to deep square leg

Nahida Akter [3.0-0-14-0] comes back into the attack.

Bangladesh's fielding overall and the body language in the field, both are disappointing! There is just too much of shouting going on for no reason. It seems as though no fielder feels safe when the ball comes to her.
