Andhbhakhts being andhbhakhts.

Well she brought this on herself. Any time a player thinks God helps them by favouring them over other god-fearing players, they are opening themselves to ridicule. Even from a stupid andhbhakt.

 

[Justcrazy]

100 up for SA .

 

[pillionrider]

Indians played a bit safe for the longest while. It was going nowhere. Didn't like Deepti's knock too much. She took the anchor role too seriously. Only Ghosh saved them from a poor total.

 

[sweep_shot]

It seems like there is dew. This should help South Africa.

 

[RexRex]

I want SA to win. Indian fans don't deserve a WC victory.

 

[Justcrazy]

Shafali strikes , SA lose third wicket

 

[globetrotter]

South Africa batter will choke at last moment sillmilar to T20 final 2024

 

[RidiculousMan]

Game is not done yet.

South Africa can chase this down. Pitch is flat.

It is 50-50 at this point.

This is an impossible chase for this South African side.

It is already a good score and the pressure of the Final means game is over for Saffers.

South African women's team have crossed 300 many times (most are in recent times):

[sweep_shot]

What a poor review! LOL!

India lost all of their reviews. No more review left.

They got too excited I guess.

 

[sweep_shot]

South Africa - 123/3 (22 overs; target: 299).

176 to win from 28 overs.

 

[Ab Fan]

If she scored a ton means we are likely to lose

Naah..She is Lady Amla or ABD

 

[sweep_shot]

Another wicket.

India are ahead now.

 

[Justcrazy]

India on top here with the fourth wicket.

 

[globetrotter]

Cmon India take 2 more wickets

 

[sweep_shot]

India on top here with the fourth wicket.

Wolvaardt is the key wicket. If he stays there till the end, South Africa can win.

Otherwise, India should win.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

This Jofta seems like a quota pick, any thing she scores is a bonus.

 

[Justcrazy]

SA Women need 175 runs from 27 overs.

India should win this from here , chasing under pressure in final is not easy.

 

[Ab Fan]

In Women's cricket, one trip one hand catch rule should be applied in my opinion.

 

[globetrotter]

Next wicket coming up..... walvaardt's wicket

 

[sweep_shot]

South Africa - 125/4 (24 overs; target: 299).

174 to win from 156 balls.

 

[sweep_shot]

This Jofta seems like a quota pick, any thing she scores is a bonus.

Lady Bavuma.

 

[sweep_shot]

Jafta is on 2* from 14 balls.

Tuk-tuk.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

This Jofta seems like a quota pick, any thing she scores is a bonus.

Has wasted 14 baals already.

 

[Bhaijaan]

India on top after taking 4 wickets.

RRR also about to touch 7

South African hopes now lie firmly with their hard hitting very talented captain.

Let’s go girls

 

[sweep_shot]

SA - 127/4 (25 overs).

172 to win from 25 overs.

South Africa can't afford to lose another wicket before 40th over. Need to take it deep.

 

[globetrotter]

Wolvaardt wicket is coming

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

South Africa bats till 9, if Laura keeps stalling this match can get interesting.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

I went for a quick break, and the Saffers lost two wickets.
I never seen Shefali bowl before, where did she suddenly come from?
She was picked as a last-minute replacement, and this is only her 2nd match in this World Cup. What an impactful player.

 

[sweep_shot]

Wolvaardt is on 68*. Playing well.

 

[Red-Indian]

Shree Charani has been excellent. Unplayable despite the wet outfield getting the ball wet.

 

[sweep_shot]

South Africa - 138/4 (27 overs; target: 299).

161 to win from 23 overs.

South Africa need some big overs.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Lady Bavuma.

Bavuma is a real fighter. He might have been picked under the quota system initially, but he has worked hard, improved a lot, and performed well. He led SA to a WTC win as a batsman and captain.

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate is over 7 now.

 

[sweep_shot]

South Africa - 141/4 (28 overs; target: 299).

158 to win from 22 overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

Indian bowlers bowling accurately here , not giving loose balls.

 

[Ball Blazer]

They need to build p'ship with Wolvaardt

 

[Bhaijaan]

RRR has climbed to 7.29

150+ runs to get from 21 overs with 6 wickets left

It’s a huge task for the talented South African captain. If she wins it from here it will be one of the greatest ODI knocks in women’s cricket history

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Jafta is not able to read Shafali’s mystery spin.
Don’t pick her wicket yet, let her play few more overs.

 

[globetrotter]

5th wkt down

 

[Devadwal]

Match is perfectly balanced as South Africa middle lower order is very good compared to india.

 

[sweep_shot]

Tuk-tuk Jafta is out.

148/5.

 

[Devadwal]

Sinalo Jafta is gone.

148/5 (29.3)

Jafta is not able to read Shafali’s mystery spin.
Don’t pick her wicket yet, let her play few more overs.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Out

South Africa lose their 5th wicket.

RRR 7.37

 

[globetrotter]

Take Wolvaardt wkt .... good India go

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Tuk-tuk Jafta is out.

148/5.

The gut wrenching stab you must feel as every South African batsmen goes back to pavilion might be stronger than an acute MI.

I wonder why you do it to yourself.

 

[sweep_shot]

South Africa need 149 runs from 119 balls. 5 wickets in hand.

 

[Red-Indian]

Match is perfectly balanced as South Africa middle lower order is very good compared to india.

Yes they still have De Klerk to come. It's amazing she's batting at 8 or even 9.

Women's cricket is not very serious for me. It is just for ladies to get some exercise and learn discipline (which they can use in real life). It also allows me to increase my post count.

Anyway, I want South Africa to win so that ICC doesn't get hijacked by BCCI further.

 

[Bhaijaan]

143 needed from 19 overs

RRR 7.53

5 wicket in hand

 

[sweep_shot]

South Africa - 156/5 (31 overs; target: 299).

143 to win from 19 overs.

These two need to stay there till 45 overs.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

They should continue with both Charani and Shafali in tandem.
I don’t know why they keep bowling with Radha, she’s not impactful.

It's not serious for you yet you are posting more than Indians themselves.

 

[sweep_shot]

Six!

South Africa need more.

It's a no-ball too. Free-hit.

 

[sweep_shot]

I post on all cricket threads.

If there is a match between Vanuatu and Samoa, you can expect me to post also.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Oh dear

I a high full toss tonked for 6 and another 6

13 runs off 1 ball literally

17 off the over

South Africa are not done here. The fight continues

 

[Devadwal]

17 runs from Radha over and South Africa favourite to win now

 

[sweep_shot]

Six!

South Africa need more.

It's a no-ball too. Free-hit.

Another six. Back to back sixes. Big over for South Africa.

126 to win from 108 balls.

Wolvaardt is on 80*.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Radha turned the match in South Africa’s favor and made the RR much easier for them.
What a senseless spell of bowling.

 

[Bhaijaan]

RRR comes down to just 7 from 7.7

Disasterous couple of deliveries

Turning point in the game?

 

[PakFan2010]

South Africa's captain is a better batsmen than most of Pakistan's male team.

 

[Ball Blazer]

Another six. Back to back sixes. Big over for South Africa.

126 to win from 108 balls.

Just a couple of more wickets will turn game in India's favor

 

[charlie007]

Radha Yadav is India’s Nawaz

 

[sweep_shot]

Just a couple of more wickets will turn game in India's favor

These two batters are key for South Africa.

If they stay till 45th over, South Africa can win this.

 

[Katwalindian]

Man I really tried to watch today. Women’s cricket

Hell Nha never again.

Rather watch paint dry.

Hope we win. Good luck girls

Yeah even normal non cricketer men can play better cricket than them....soo boring

 

[charlie007]

De Klerk is still waiting, she’s a good hitter

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Hit a few boundaries, and it’s going to be a run-a-ball game. Radha Yadav ruined the momentum.
Poor captaincy from Harmanpreet to continue with her while both Charani and Shafali were bowling really well.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Phenomenal over from Sree. Just 2 from it.

RRR 7.29

124 from 17 overs

 

[Devadwal]

Only fall of wickets can turn the game otherwise south africa is ahead

 

[PakFan2010]

If they bat sensibly for the next 6 overs, then it's 80 off 60.

South Africa need to stay calm.

 

[JaDed]

Need a wicket asap if not its gone

 

[Bhaijaan]

A sense of calmness in the South African camp. They have big hitters and feel they can chase down 8 an over in last 15 overs

India needs wickets.

 

[JaDed]

oh no…. dayum, nerves

 

[Bhaijaan]

Dropped

We need to hold on to these chances

It’s a World Cup final

 

[Devadwal]

Deepti dropped the World Cup.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Dropped easy catch

 

[RidiculousMan]

South African women's team have crossed 300 many times (most are in recent times):

https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/team/team-highest-innings-totals/south-africa-women-3379/women-s-one-day-internationals-9

300 in a WC Final is like 350.

 

[JaDed]

That dropped catch coming to haunt us sad

 

[JaDed]

Annerie’s day

 

[sweep_shot]

105 to win from 78 balls. 5 wickets in hand.
