South Africa Women vs India Women, 18th Match, Group A, ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 - HighlightsRSAW vs INDW, 18th Match, Group A, ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 - Highlights

Marizanne Kapp to Richa Ghosh, out Caught by Ayabonga Khaka!! Ghosh couldn't get going today and has now perished in looking for a big shot. Slower length ball angled in, she gets down on one knee for a big sweep but miscues it off the top-edge. Good diving catch from Khaka diving forward after running in from short fine. Richa Ghosh c Ayabonga Khaka b Marizanne Kapp 15(14) [4s-2]

Ayabonga Khaka to Richa Ghosh, 5 wides, oh that's a shocker. Richa backs away just a little bit outside leg, and Khaka loses the plot completely. She's spooked into bowling it well down the leg-side, giving the keeper no chance

Ayabonga Khaka to Richa Ghosh, FOUR, poor delivery. Another low full toss on the pads, this time Richa waits in the crease and whips it past short fine

Nonkululeko Mlaba to Deepti Sharma, out Caught by Marizanne Kapp!! This time the sweep brings about her downfall. What Mlaba did different was to slow it right up. It was really really slow and took its time reaching Deepti, leaving her out of shape on the sweep. She miscues it in the air to short fine and Kapp takes it nicely running back. Deepti Sharma c Marizanne Kapp b Nonkululeko Mlaba 29(21) [4s-3]

Nadine de Klerk to Deepti Sharma, FOUR, again the sweep from Deepti! If you're going to be biased towards a shot, make sure you're as good with it as Deepti is with the sweep. Full on leg, she shuffles across, gets low and sweeps it fine

Nadine de Klerk to Richa Ghosh, FOUR, the toe-end is coming in handy for India! Deepti the previous ball, now Richa! Loopy full toss outside off, she looks to slap it hard and it catches the toe-edge and runs away fine

Ayabonga Khaka to Deepti Sharma, FOUR, lucky boundary! Some width outside off, Deepti throws her hands at it and it runs away fine off the toe-edge

Shabnim Ismail to Harmanpreet Kaur, out Bowled!! Chopped on! Too close to cut and it's also an off-cutter which cramps her up even further. Gets a thick under-edge onto the stumps. Harmanpreet will be so disappointed. The platform had been set and it was time to cash in but she's gone. Harmanpreet Kaur b Shabnim Ismail 24(22) [4s-2]

Nonkululeko Mlaba to Harmanpreet Kaur, FOUR, superb over for India, 12 off it! It's slightly short outside off, Harmanpreet is able to wait for it and then cuts it in the gap between backward point and short third

Nonkululeko Mlaba to Deepti Sharma, FOUR, the sweep is such a profitable shot for Deepti! Her go-to shot against spin, brings it out against Mlaba and hits it past short fine

Ayabonga Khaka to Deepti Sharma, 1 run, slower one outside off, driven to sweeper cover

Chloe Tryon to Harmanpreet Kaur, FOUR, Tryon went for 17 in her first over and hasn't started well in her second. Short, wide, asking to be hit and Harman obliges. Slaps it through backward point. Fielder in the deep did well to get to it but then failed to flick it back

Nadine de Klerk to Jemimah Rodrigues, out Caught&Bowled!! Pops up off the leading edge and de Klerk dives forward to grab it with both hands. The fightback from South Africa continues. From 54/1, India are now 83/4 with the innings losing steam on a dry pitch. Good length on middle and leg, Rodrigues looks to work it through the on-side but closes the face too early. Might've stopped on her. Balloons off the leading edge down the pitch. Jemimah Rodrigues c and b Nadine de Klerk 12(14) [4s-1]

Nonkululeko Mlaba to Jemimah Rodrigues, FOUR, a nice floaty delivery outside off, Jemimah bends her back knee and lofts it inside out over extra cover. The timing on the shot takes care of the rest...

Ayabonga Khaka to Yastika Bhatia, out Lbw!! Pace or spin, Yastika loves sitting on the back foot. She was waiting for something outside off, but Khaka bowled this on a length around off and it kept a fraction low to ping Yastika plumb in front of the stumps. She was late in getting her bat down and the damage was done by then. Technology says it would have hit the top of off. India lose a review as well. Yastika Bhatia lbw b Ayabonga Khaka 15(13) [4s-3]

Nonkululeko Mlaba to Yastika Bhatia, FOUR, nicely played! Hint of width outside off, Yastika hangs back and plays the late cut with an open bat face to the right of backward point

Shabnim Ismail to Yastika Bhatia, FOUR, pitched up in the slot outside off, Yastika creams the drive all along the ground in the gap through extra cover

Shabnim Ismail to Shafali Verma, out Caught by Sinalo Jafta!! Banged in short on the stumps, Shafali thought about ramping but decided against it and swayed out of the way at the last moment. Oh hang on! South Africa have gone upstairs for a caught behind review. And guess what! Shafali is walking. There is spike when the ball is next the glove. Gone. It looked like Shafali did well to duck late, but she was perhaps a fraction late in dropping the gloves. The bumper went at a rapid pace and snicked the feather of a glove en route the keeper. South African fielders got together immediately and perhaps the keeper felt there was some contact which eventuated into a review later on. Shafali Verma c Sinalo Jafta b Shabnim Ismail 31(15) [4s-4 6s-1]

Marizanne Kapp to Yastika Bhatia, FOUR, lovely timing from Yastika! Pitched up on off stump, Yastika presents full face of the bat and pushes the ball down the ground to the left of the diving mid-off fielder. The lightning fast outfield takes care of the rest...

Chloe Tryon to Shafali Verma, SIX, the intentions are crystal clear from Shafali and India. She waltzes out of her crease, gets under the full ball and clubs it for a 74-metre maximum over long-off

Chloe Tryon to Shafali Verma, FOUR, and again! Full ball on leg stump, Shafali kneels down and sweeps with a strong bottom hand past the diving right hand of square leg

Chloe Tryon to Shafali Verma, FOUR, Shafali continues to find boundaries! Dances down the wicket, gets close to the pitch of the full delivery and thrashes it in the gap between cover and mid-off

Marizanne Kapp to Smriti Mandhana, out Bowled!! Marizanne Kapp gets her revenge. She looks absolutely pumped. Went wide of the crease and bowled the seam up delivery on a length. It wobbled in late with the seam and hit the middle and leg stump. Smriti got too ambitious and tried to play the scoop, the length wasn't quite there and she missed it completely. The keeper standing upto the stumps may have prompted the shot? Smriti Mandhana b Marizanne Kapp 17(12) [4s-3]

Marizanne Kapp to Smriti Mandhana, FOUR, lovely intent from Smriti! She shuffles down the pitch and picks the full ball off her pads, creaming the flick wide of the fielder at mid-on to her left

Shabnim Ismail to Smriti Mandhana, FOUR, make that three now. Short down the leg-side, Smriti swivels and hammers the pull with an air of authority through short fine

Shabnim Ismail to Smriti Mandhana, FOUR, once again Ismail on the fuller side and Smriti drives on the up in the gap to the right of the fielder at short extra cover. Two boundaries off the over already...

Shabnim Ismail to Shafali Verma, FOUR, Shabnim Ismail goes full just outside off and Shafali has chipped the drive with full face to the left of the fielder at cover

Marizanne Kapp to Shafali Verma, FOUR, a gimme on the pads and Shafali does not miss out. Clips it from outside leg stump and gets enough timing to beat the fielder chasing from short fine
