    Bosch run out (Perry) 1 (SA 122-6)

    You can't blame Anneke Bosch. She had to try and come back for the second.

    In the end she is a yard short.

    I'm pretty convinced that Bosch is run out here.

    This looks like another run out!

    It's a perfect, filthy half-tracker but it's clever from Jess Jonassen.

    Australia can now look towards their sixth T20 title.

    Tryon b Jonassen 25 (SA 121-5)

    Game. Over. Chloe Tryon swings again, misses and the ball clatters into leg stump.

    Australia's celebrations aren't over the top yet but surely they know.

    Tryon has got to keep going, she has to keep going.

    There's still a chance!

    Chloe Tryon clears her leg and thumps the ball over the boundary.

    36 needed from 16.

  10. SA 115-4published at 17.1 overs

    Ellyse Perry, yet again, with a fine stop on the boundary.

    This over is the one. You don't want to be chasing more than 16 in the final over.

  12. SA 114-4published at 17 overs

    Three overs to go.

    43 runs needed.

    The worm shows South Africa are eight runs behind Australia. South Africa are 114 for 4 after 17 overs. At the same stage Australia were 122 for 3.Image source, BBC Sport

    It all lies on Chloe Tryon here for South Africa, and even she's struggling to find the boundary today.

    But what a knock for Laura Wolvaardt but for me it was too slow at the start.

    Alyssa Healy is many things, maybe the best batter in the world but she's not the best keeper.

  15. SA 113-4published at 16.4 overs

    That's sloppy! Alyssa Healy misses the ball behind the stumps and Darcie Brown fails with a dive too.

    Four byes.

  16. Postpublished at 15:48 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2023

    South Africa need 48 from 21 balls and their without their gun batter.

    Nadine de Klerk arrives in the middle.

    Wolvaardt lbw b Schutt 61 (SA 109-4)

    Is that the game?

    Ball tracking has it thudding into middle.

  18. Postpublished at 15:47 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2023

    It's full and straight from Megan Schutt.

    Wolvaardt is already walking off.

    The ground is completely silent.

    It's out this, unfortunately.

    Is that the moment? I think she knows she's out.
