- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 straight through, and easy as you like from Kapp! A 100 T20I wickets for this generational cricketer! Zipped in full, angling into off stump. Ferdous plants her front foot and has a wild mow across the line. Misses the ball completely and the ball thuds into off stump. Another record for this truly special cricketer and SA are on the board at the first time of asking! 0/13.6 pinned on the pad, and the finger goes up! But Nehar has reviewed! Back of a length in the channel and this jags back in. Nehar, caught on the crease, gets rapped on the flap of the front pad. Was the impact in line? No bat involved. Ball Tracking coming up now and...it says it is Umpire's Call on Impact, with the ball crashing into the top of off. Ismail has a wicket too! 14/216.3 catching practice for Mlaba, and Mostary's stay comes to an end! Bashed in short and wide. Mostary's eyes light up and she throws the lot at it. Slashes it but does not get the requisite power to clear the fence. Mlaba, maybe 10 yards in off the rope, takes it comfortably, and hands de Klerk her first wicket of the day! 77/414.2 change of ends works a charm for Mlaba! Tossed up beautifully on a length just outside leg. Sharmin hares down but is done in the flight completely. Nowhere near the pitch of the ball, and it drops on her before ragging past the outside edge and clipping the top of middle and off. Superb bowling, and Bangladesh lose their third! 70/318.1 holes out to long on, and Shorna departs cheaply! Tossed up on a length on middle and leg. Shorna cannot resist the temptation to have a pop at it but she miscues this completely. Off the bottom part of the bat and Ismail does the rest. Mlaba has two now! 95/5Extras15 (b 7, lb 5, w 3)TOTAL117/5 (20 Overs, RR: 5.85)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Juairiya Ferdous, 0.1 ov), 2-14 (Taj Nehar, 3.6 ov), 3-70 (Sharmin Akhter, 14.2 ov), 4-77 (Sobhana Mostary, 16.3 ov), 5-95 (Shorna Akter, 18.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 hot knife through butter, and Wolvaardt is on her way! What an absolute ripper to start the innings. Starting on a length outside off and swerving back in viciously. Wolvaardt reaches out in front of her pad and leaves an enormous gap between bat and pad. The ball bursts through and knocks back off stump. Right then. Game on! 0/18.5 gone this time! And Bangladesh not giving up the ghost! Hung up on a length outside off. Brits tries to fetch it and muscle it over long on but she cuts across it too much. Marufa takes it with minimal fuss at long on, and that is just the wicket Bangladesh would have wanted to stay afloat in this contest! 52/214.1 appeal for a caught-behind, but the umpire says no. Bangladesh review promptly! Back of a length outside off. Dercksen goes fencing at it away from her body and seems to miss it. Shakes her head the moment she misses it. Bangladesh, of course, think otherwise. And they are right. A spike when the ball is next to the toe-end, and Dercksen falls! 87/49.6 pinned on the pad, and this looks plumb! Finger goes up and DvN does not even bother with the review! Arm ball on a back of a length on off. Comes in with the arm and DvN, looking for the reverse again, swishes at thin air. Misses to get pinged on the back leg and that was as plumb as it could get. Sanjida has her first wicket, and Bangladesh not out of this just yet! 59/317.3 Kapp scrambles and sprawls, but has she made it?! No, she has not! A terrible mix-up and there is another twist in this game! Gentle full toss on off. de Klerk jams it towards point. Hesitation in the middle and by the time Kapp decides to go through for the run, it is too late. Throw is at the keeper's end and Kapp, despite the dive, is caught short. Running with her gloves in her hand did not exactly help her, and this game is not done just yet! 102/518.5 a massive shank, and it is taken! Is there life in this game still?! Slower ball hidden on a length outside off. de Klerk tries to fetch it to the shorter leg side but she miscues it terribly. Shorna runs in from deep mid wicket and dives forward to complete a superb catch. A pumped-up celebration, and SA are still five off where they want to be! 113/6Extras10 (lb 2, w 8)TOTAL118/6 (19.2 Overs, RR: 6.1)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Laura Wolvaardt, 0.1 ov), 2-52 (Tazmin Brits, 8.5 ov), 3-59 (Dane van Niekerk, 9.6 ov), 4-87 (Annerie Dercksen, 14.1 ov), 5-102 (Marizanne Kapp, 17.3 ov), 6-113 (Nadine de Klerk, 18.5 ov)
