Deepti Sharma takes 5-39 as South Africa fall short
Wolvaardt hits sublime 101 but falls to juggling Amanjot catch
Part-time bowler Verma removes Luus & Kapp
India post 298-7 - Verma top-scores with 87 off 78 balls
Deepti hits unbeaten 58, Ghosh smashes 34 off 24

But if ever one innings alone was worthy of earning someone a place in a team of the tournament, it was her against Australia.
The class and composure she showed in getting India over the line in a record chase was sublime. No wonder 55% of you wanted her in the side.

262 runs and averaging 43 and a bit with a strike rate of 85, which is down on Sciver-Brunt's career average. Nine wickets, but she hadn't bowled before this tournament, and an economy of only six, but England needed a bit more from her in that department.
The game against South Africa, only Nat Sciver-Brunt could have done what Wolvaardt did, but when she didn't, England's chances were extinguished with that.

Nat Sciver-Brunt has been good without being great. There was one big innings, but that is the thing with her - just how much she carries England's batting line-up.
Whenever somebody of Sciver-Brunt's stature is out in the middle, you would give England a chance to chase down 300 plus. She is an imposing figure and could take the game away from the opposition. But it hasn't quite materialised to her very best in this tournament.
Image source, Getty ImagesWe've not selected a captain in this XI but there's no shortage of leadership with England's Nat Sciver-Brunt in at three, meaning each of the top three lead their country.
NSB hasn't quite hit the heights we've seen from her in previous tournament but 262 runs at 43.66 to go with nine wickets is pretty good by anyone's standards.
It's enough for 49% of the vote anyway.
Excellent news. Of course, we'll bring you news from the toss when it comes but, for now, back to this XI of yours...
A brief interruption to the team of the tournament as we bring you some good news from Navi Mumbai.
The rain has stopped and, provided it stays away, the toss will take place at 11:00 GMT with the the first ball half an hour half at 11:30 GMT.
No overs have been lost so cancel your evening plans...

Smriti Mandhana takes it for me over Alyssa Healy, but the latter solves the wicketkeeper problem. I would love to see Mandhana and Wolvaardt bat together.

Back-to-back hundreds for Alyssa Healy. She was the top scorer in the last World Cup. She made 142 against India and followed that with 113 not out off 77 balls against Bangladesh. 299 runs in the tournament, and is the sixth-highest scorer in this tournament.
Image source, Getty ImagesWith 43% of the vote, Australia skipper Alyssa Healy takes the second opening spot and is also the wicketkeeper in this XI.
It is worth noting that India left-hander Smitri Mandhana got slightly more votes than Healy but, as we mentioned before, the wicketkeeper with the most votes was always going to get in - you can't have a team without a wicketkeeper after all.
A shame for Smriti but with 299 runs at 74.75, Healy fully deserves her place in the side.

Wolvaardt's started quietly slowly in the tournament. And then the 169 off 143 balls against England, and she's averaged 67.14 for 470 runs across this World Cup.
She has scored 28% of South Africa's runs this World Cup. 40 or more runs today, and she will have the most individual runs at a World Cup.

In terms of Laura Wolvaardt's innings - 169 against England, under so much pressure, and the context of being in the same ground where they were bowled out for 69 in the opening game against England, and bowled out for 97 against Australia.
I can't stop thinking about the innings and how lucky we were to witness it, in terms of the pacing and the composure and being the calmest person on the ground. After Sophie Eccelstone's spell was done, she just went bang. It was a masterclass in ODI batting.
The power hitting is what really came to the fore from that innings, as it isn't something that we associate with her.
Image source, Getty ImagesFirst into your team of the tournament is South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt.
The leading run-scorer at this World Cup after playing one of the best innings' you'll see in the semi-final against England.
A whopping 66% voted her in as one of the openers, my question is who the other 34% thought was more worthy?!
OK, enough preamble. Let's get to it.
Here is the Women's World Cup team of the tournament as voted for by you, the BBC Sport readers...

But who makes your team of the tournament?
We've had three different votes to help you pick your openers, remaining batters/all-rounders and bowlers.
We haven't done a specific wicketkeeper vote because of the various roles many players fulfil in the women's game, but we've included the most-voted in the final XI.
Before we share the final team, let's look at those who were in contention...
Tempting as it is to keep Jemimah Rodrigues' dog at the top of this page to lift everyone's spirits, as the rain continues to fall in Navi Mumbai, it is time for us to move on and have a look at the Women's World Cup team of the tournament - as voted for by you...
Very disappointing news to start the day so here's a picture of Jemimah Rodrigues' dog stealing the show at India's training session yesterday to cheer us all up...
