    What I love about the Thailand captain Tippoch is her positivity. This first powerplay will be very interesting.

    I think Lizelle Lee's under a bit of pressure to get some runs today. She's one of the leading batters in the world, but she's not got many lately.

    Two absolute bangers of national anthems there.

    Right. Cricket! It'll be Lizelle Lee and Dane van Niekerk to open for South Africa.

    Anthems done.

    Here is Amy Lofthouse in sunny Canberra to take you through the first half of South Africa's innings.

    It's sad for the viewers here not to be able to see Marizanne Kapp, she knows these conditions really well from the WBBL.

    A great opportunity for Nadine de Klerk to come in.

  8. Postpublished at 03:53 Greenwich Mean Time 28 February 2020

    So one change for South Africa as Nadine de Klerk replaces the ill Marizanne Kapp.

    Thailand are unchanged.

    Here come the teams out for the anthems.

    England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    I'm slightly struggling with the view today - I've got my high chair, but the window's half open, half closed.

    Pakistan have the capability to upset England which would throw the group wide open, but first it's South Africa-Thailand - and I'm really excited to see South Africa bat.

    BBC Sport at Manuka Oval

    Some good news from the ICC - more than 50,000 tickets have already been sold for the final. All credit has to go to both the advertising and the pricing. A$20 (£10.16) tickets for adults for the final, and A$5 (£2.54) for kids, to watch two of the best sides battle it out at the MCG is brilliant.

    There was a thrilling finish as India held on to beat New Zealand, in spite of some tremendous hitting by Amelia Kerr...

    Thailand captain Sornnarin Tippoch: "We wanted to bowl first anyway.

    "We are confident in our bowling and fielding.

    "We want to show our batting side as well today."

    South Africa captain Dane van Niekerk: "We'll have a bat, get runs on the board - we've never played Thailand before. It's a beautiful surface, Alyssa Healy made it look easy last night. Marizanne Kapp just pulled out with illness, we need her to rest up so Nadine de Klerk comes in."
