  1. WI 31-2

    Deandra Dottin bookends the over with a boundary.

    This time she shuffles down the pitch before effortlessly slog-sweeping Chloe Tryon over the fielder at square leg for four.

  2. How's stat?!

    Deandra Dottin has been out of the international game for a while, but she still holds the record for the fastest women's T20 century.

    Dottin smashed a hundred from just 38 balls in the 2010 edition of the Women's T20 World Cup against... South Africa.

  3. WI 27-2

    Hayley Matthews hit West Indies' first boundary a little earlier but her stay at the crease was not a long one.

    Meanwhile, Chloe Tryon is ruthlessly cut for four by Deandra Dottin.

  4. WI 23-2

    Here's Deandra Dottin.

    The experienced West Indies all-rounder slog sweeps Nonkululeko Mlaba over the fielder at square leg for four.

    Nicely done to her first ball.

    That's very clever bowling from Nonkululeko Mlaba. She knows Qiana Joseph hasn't been able to get going and is not moving her feet at all. So Mlaba fired it in really quick with that new ball which skidded off this wicket which has more pace in it than the one in Sharjah.

    Joseph b Mlaba 4 (WI 18-2)

    Women's T20 World Cup: South Africa's Nonkululeko Mlaba bowls West Indies' Qiana Joseph

    It was getting a little painful to watch for Qiana Joseph, who looked very scratchy.

    Nonkululeko Mlaba angles it into the left-hander and Joseph attempt to play it late but misses and the ball clatters into the stumps.

  7. WI 18-1

    Left-arm spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba into the attack.

    She goes around the wicket to Stafanie Taylor, who sweeps her finely for three behind square.

    It's swinging and missing from Qiana Joseph and it's actually quite painful to watch.

  9. WI 15-1

    Qiana Joseph chews up a maiden from Ayabonga Khaka. It's heaped a bit of pressure on Stafanie Taylor at the other end.

  10. Henry Moeran
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    I think South Africa will feel a little hard done by here because they've not got the wicket of Qiana Joseph yet.

  11. WI 15-1

    Deja vu from the first over as Ayabonga Khaka angles it across the Qiana Joseph. The West Indies flashes, is beaten by a beauty and the defends.

    Joseph is struggling a little here.

  12. WI 15-1

    Hayley Matthews did briefly think about a review, but there can be no arguments. UltraEdge shows a fair chunk of bat on it.

  13. Henry Moeran
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    Any time Hayley Matthews goes early, it is a huge moment!

    Matthews c Jafta b Kapp 10 (WI 15-1)

    West Indies' Marizanne Kapp is caught by Sinolo Jafta off the bowling of Hayley Matthews

    A huge wicket for South Africa.

    Hayley Matthews attempts to cut a delivery from Marizanne Kapp and gets a thin edge on it.

    Sinolo Jafta snaffles the catch and runs away with an aeroplane celebration before the rest of South Africa's players high five.

  15. Tash Farrant
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Ayabonga Khaka is giving Qiana Joseph some width here, but the batter is not moving that front foot whatsoever. She's almost planted to the wicket.

  16. WI 11-0

    That drop from Chloe Tryon is punished next ball as Qiana Joseph edges another waft wide of slip for four.

    Ayabonga Khaka puts her hands on her head.

  17. dropped catch

    Joseph dropped on zero

    There was a hint of swing for Marizanne Kapp in that first over and equally Ayabonga Khaka gets some movement through the air to the left-handed Qiana Joseph.

    Khaka is angling the ball across Joseph, who keeps swinging and missing. Hayley Matthews come down for a little pep talk with her opening partner.

    Joseph swings again at Khaka's fifth delivery. This time it takes he edge and the ball flies in the direction of the diving Chloe Tryon at a wide slip position but she shells the catch.

  18. WI 6-0

    Hayley Matthews can be a bit of slow starter with the bat as she gets her eye in but looks in handy touch here as she cuts Marizanne Kapp through point for a couple more off the final ball of the over

  19. Tash Farrant
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    I am excited to see Marizanne Kapp with this new ball. She had a tricky summer as she struggled in the Women's Big Bash League but was fabulous in The Hundred in England. She comes into this match in good form and will be looking for early wickets of the West Indies batters.

  20. WI 4-0

    South Africa all-rounder Marizanne Kapp, a feisty competitor, has sun cream smeared all over her face as she bounds in for the first over.

    Hayley Matthews has a couple of flashes at Kapp's first two deliveries before crunching a cut through point for four.

    West Indies up and running.
