SA will play Australia or India in Sunday's final
South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt: "We would have had a bowl but runs on the board in a semi-final can be pretty good too.
"We're playing an extra batter today. It felt like something we've needed in the last couple of games, someone to bat with Nadine de Klerk at the end. And we've still got lots of bowling options.
"It's all about winning today. That's the main goal."
England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt: "We'd like to bowl first. We want to put the pressure on and under the lights, it should be easier to chase."
On Guwahati: "It is very different to the wickets we have played on but it is great practice for the final. We have the same team here today."
On Sophie Ecclestone: "There is no doubt, she will be playing through pain but she is one of those people who will be raring to go.
"You have to hold your nerve and trust the process and everything you have done. Acknowledge the occasion and have a great time."

Image source, Getty ImagesGood morning/afternoon from Guwahati, where it is currently overcast but dry, and very humid.
There's been so much chat around England's opening win here, when they bowled South Africa out for just 69, but there hasn't been a game here in 19 days.
Expect England to stick with their spin-heavy strategy, which has been a success, but there's no guarantee that the conditions will be the same.
