    I don't want teams to be eliminated from the tournament early. We want all the group games to have something on them.

    It feels like this tournament is going to show how big the gap is between the top three - Australia, England and India - and the rest.

    Five runs an over needed now. India are chilling. West Indies are out of ideas.

    Target 119

    Shot! Harmanpreet Kaur pulls off a beauty of a cover drive straight to the fielder in the deep.

    India are happy to knock the ball around. No real panic to strike boundaries.

    The temptation is to bowl short in South Africa and expect things to happen. Newlands is a place you want to maintain your discipline.

  5. Ind 79-3published at 12 overs

    Richa 19, Kaur 18

    Richa Ghosh and Harmanpreet Kaur are building a nice partnership now. Neither of them have ever looked like giving their wicket away.

    Forty runs needed from 48.

  6. Ind 76-3published at 11.4 overs

    Short from Shamilia Connell and Richa Ghosh pulls her away for four.

    India are in complete control now.

    India had a bit of a wobble. But the stepped up skipper Harmanpreet Kaur:

  8. Ind 70-3published at 11 overs

    Pacer Shamilia Connell, whose first over went for 14, comes back into the attack.

    She lost her line in her opening over.

  9. Ind 70-3published at 11 overs

    Shakera Selman's first over goes for six, but India are cruising at the mo.

    They require less than a run per ball.

  10. Ind 67-3published at 10.3 overs

    The pressure builds with a couple of dots.

  11. Ind 65-3published at 10.1 overs

    Kaur 14, Richa 10

    Fast bowler Shakera Selman comes into the attack. She starts with a short and wide delivery which fortunately for her goes for just a single.

  12. Ind 64-3published at 10 overs

    So it's all India at the halfway stage. West Indies need some breakthroughs and they need them now.

    West Indies are definitely going to have to take some wickets, I think that is the only way from here. Even if West Indies get a couple of tight overs in, with Harmanpreet Kaur in India will feel in control.

  14. Ind 64-3published at 10 overs

    Target 119

    Ramharack finishes with figures of 2-14 after bowling out.

    She and captain Hayley Matthews have been the key bowlers for the West Indies. Everyone else has struggled on this batting-friendly pitch.

  15. Ind 62-3published at 9.4 overs

    Two ones and two dots to start the over. I think India are happy just to get through Ramharack's overs.

    West Indies have taken a bit of a knock from losing Stafanie Taylor.

  17. Postpublished at 15:21 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2023

    Karishma Ramharack returns to the attack for the West Indies.

    Can she add to her two wickets?

    That has been the most profitable over of the match.

  19. Ind 60-3published at 9 overs

    Take that!

    Harmanpreet Kaur launches another four over the covers.

    India are in complete control.

    I feel like this is the over India are going to take back control.
