ICC Women's World Cup, Visakhapatnam - SA win toss & bowl
De Klerk hits stunning unbeaten 84 off 54 balls to lead Proteas to target of 252
South Africa win by three wickets with seven balls to spare
India 251 (49.5 overs): Ghosh 94 (77); Tryon 3-32
India slip from 83-1 to 102-6 before Ghosh counters brilliantly
SA go level with India on four points after three matches each
Rawal 25, Mandhana 14
Decent recovery from Ayabonga Khaka after the six first ball and it could have been better but for a couple of wides.
This has been a solid start from India, no wickets down and if Smriti Mandhana with starting to find some rhythm at the crease, they look in a good position to go big on a good batting surface.

That is classic Smriti Mandhana! She gave a nod to her partner at the other end of the pitch as if to say, 'yep this is why I am here.'
'Superstar' Mandhana smashes Khaka for six over long off
That's more like it from Smriti Mandhana!
Shimmies down the track to Khaka and she hammers the ball back over the South Africa bowler's head for a big six.
Where did that come from?!
The frustration at her slow start suddenly seems to get to Smriti Mandhana as she advances to Marizanne Kapp and has a wild hack to leg.
Swing and a miss!
An inside edge down to fine leg gets Mandhana to the safety of the non-striker's end to try and regroup. Three from the over.

Smriti Mandhana has been calm and composed in these first 15 balls but will be looking for anything loose now.
Very good over from Ayabonga Khaka. The South Africa seamer keeps India to just a single from it with Smriti Mandhana on just four from 16 balls.
A tough start for the India left-hander.

Root, Cook, Vaughan would be my faithfuls, always thought Andy Flower looked treacherous!

How did this over get away from Marizanne Kapp?
After beating Pratika Rawal with a fine delivery that swings away beautifully just wide of off, she follows up with a fantastic nip-backer. The perfect one-two.
Rawal is pinned in front, there's a huge appeal and just as South Africa are set to review, the third umpire confirms it is a no-ball!
Ball-tracking shows it would have been crashing into leg but instead of a wicket, it's free hit.
Rawal swings that way through square leg for four and then crunches the ball through the covers for four more to end the over.
'Can you believe it?' - Rawal survives lbw dismissal thanks to Kapp no ball

Pratika Rawal is a real classy player. I wouldn't say she's bully of the cricket ball, just classy.
The outfield has been slow so far but I think it will get quicker throughout the day.
Another handsome shot through the off side from Pratika Rawal to start the over.
An elegant drive and she opens the face of the bat to send the ball through backward point for four.
Good start for India with Rawal, in particular, going well.

He might well be in danger when the traitors were choosing who to murder, though... but then they might keep him in as a red herring?
Anyway, just two from Marizanne Kapp's second over - both leg-side wides.

Is there any point in putting up David Warner for the cricketing traitors? We all know what he’d be…

I think we are seeing the effect of the weather here, South Africa are being slow in the outfield.
Image source, Getty ImagesAyabonga Khaka starts from the other end and immediately gets the new ball swinging. After sending down a couple of in-swingers to Pratika Rawal, she gets one to move away from the right-hander and beats the bat.
Meanwhile, Smriti Mandhana, who is yet to really get going in this World Cup, gets off the mark with a crisp drive to mid-off for a single.

I think this pitch is going to be a good one to play on today. It's going to be a high-scoring game.

Any umpire would be a fabulous traitor - keeping information from us, keeping us guessing, fooling us into thinking play might happen imminently….

Top shot from Pratika Rawal.
She stands up tall and punches the ball through the covers off the back four for the second boundary in the over.
Marizanne Kapp hits back with a beauty that snakes past the outside edge as Pratika prods forward.

Both teams will be well up for this game and it is a massive game in this competition.
Marizanne Kapp takes the new ball for South Africa, she'll be keen to make the most of conditions that are likely to help the seamers early.
It's a loose one to start, though, sliding down leg and Pratika Rawal helps it on its way to the fine leg boundary.
A gift for the India opener.
Image source, Getty ImagesAnthems done and just a quick reminder that it is still 50 overs per side despite the start being delayed by an hour.
Any further delay and we would start losing overs but let's hope that doesn't come into it...
