    I think this did too much.

  2. South Africa review

    SA 0-0

    Second ball and Marufa Akter finds the pads again. This time it's given and Laura Wolvaardt reluctantly reviews.

  3. SA 0-0

    Wow, what a start as Marufa Akter fires one into the pads of Laura Wolvaardt. Huge appeal but nothing given and Bangladesh don't review it.

    114, South Africa could do this chase in their sleep. But there is that pressure of a place in the semi-finals.

  5. Here we go then, the players are running back out.

  6. How crucial will this final-ball boundary be? South Africa will hope to ease to this chase.

  7. Bangladesh skipper Nigar Sultana Joty was one of the few players to find some form with the bat. Until she was removed with this beauty of a slower ball...

  8. Thanks Tom. The permutations are simple. If South Africa win they'll face England in the semi-finals on Friday.

    If they lose, it'll be New Zealand into the last four.

  9. So 114 is the target. You'd think that is well within South Africa's reach - but you never know.

    Here to guide you through their chase is Joe Rindl.

    It's quite a frustrating innings. They're more than capable of getting over 120 and giving themselves a chance in the game.

    South Africa are the better side, this is the score we expected at the halfway stage.

    Finally a boundary, the first in yonks, it just gives Bangladesh something to get their teeth into.

  12. Ban 113-6

    Nahida Akter ends one of the most bizarre innings I have seen in a while with a boundary.

    It was a decent shot too, powering Shabnim Ismail through the on side. Just their seventh four of the innings.

    Bangladesh reach 113-6, meaning South Africa need 114 to win and set up a semi-final date with England.

    One short, it's all going on out there. That mis-field didn't make any difference in the end.

  14. Ban 107-6

    Well that just sums things up.

    A sloppy misfield from Nonkululeko Mlaba gifts Bangladesh an extra run - but the umpires call it one short. Nahida Akter had not grounded her bat properly.

    Sigh.

  15. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    I really like the fact that they're just running twos now.

    Will we see a potential 'Mankad'?

  16. Ban 104-6

    This match has been all over the place the last few overs.

    Bangladesh are just hitting and running, and the South Africa fielding has left a lot to be desire.

    Lata Mondal joins Nahida Akter in the middle.

    She was using her feet and tried to be busy at the crease. She caused more havoc than success, but it kind of worked in a way. They've got up to 100.

    Fargana Hoque b Khaka 7 (Ban 100-6)

    Bowled!

    Fargana Hoque skips down the track but completely misses the ball and it smashes into the stumps.

  19. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    That's naughty. She's just tapped the ball for another run.

  20. Ban 96-5

    A bit of fortune for Bangladesh as they run a single, the throw comes in, hits Fargana Hoque's back, flies past the wicketkeeper and they steal an extra run.

    Shabnim Ismail is seething.
