Ayabonga Khaka to Nigar Sultana, FOUR, ends the innings with another boundary! Full and wide once again, and Sultana goes hard at it, gets it fine off an edge and beats the short third. 14 coming off the last over and Bangladesh have something to defend

Ayabonga Khaka to Nigar Sultana, FOUR, low full-toss outside off and Sultana drives it powerfully through sweeper cover to collect four runs. The skipper is putting on a show with the bat

Ayabonga Khaka to Ritu Moni, leg byes, FOUR, Bangladesh will take that! Moves across well outside off, showing all the three stumps. Tries to heave it to the leg side but gets hit on the pad and the ball rolls to the right of the keeper for a boundary

Nonkululeko Mlaba to Nigar Sultana, FOUR, waits for it this time around and power the slog-sweep towards deep mid-wicket for a boundary

Nonkululeko Mlaba to Shorna Akter, out Caught by Shabnim Ismail!! Slower and on the stumps, and Akter ends up mistiming it to the fielder at long-on. Akter didn't get close to the ball and played it far away from her body. No power behind the shot and an easy catch for Ismail. Shorna Akter c Shabnim Ismail b Nonkululeko Mlaba 4(5)

Ayabonga Khaka to Nigar Sultana, SIX, shot! Second six of the day and it's Sultana who gets into the business. Shuffles well across and gets the length to play the slog sweep over deep backward square leg. Gets plenty of power as well behind the shot

Ayabonga Khaka to Nigar Sultana, FOUR, finally a boundary! A legcutter from Khaka but drops it short and well outside, Sultana slices it past the point region for four runs

Nadine de Klerk to Sobhana Mostary, out Caught by Nonkululeko Mlaba!! This is very clever from Klerk. Goes slow and short well outside off, with the fielder waiting at deep backward point. Mostary brings out the upper cut but ends up hitting it straight into the hands of the fielder. The right-hander departs after a steady knock but Bangladesh needed her to stay and find some boundaries at the end. Sobhana Mostary c Nonkululeko Mlaba b Nadine de Klerk 42(48) [4s-3 6s-1]

Nonkululeko Mlaba to Sharmin Akhter, out Bowled!! The partnership has finally been broken. Gives it a lot of loop at close to 68kph and brings Akhter forward. The right-hander was planning to go down the ground but fails to get close to the pitch of the ball. It turns a bit and beats the outside edge of the bat before hitting the top of the off-stump. Sharmin Akhter b Nonkululeko Mlaba 22(29) [4s-1]

Ayabonga Khaka to Sharmin Akhter, 1 run, turns this one to mid-wicket and the partnership between them is now 50

Nadine de Klerk to Sobhana Mostary, SIX, first six of the match! That was short and on the body, Mostary had all the time in the world to rock back and hammer it over deep square leg for a maximum. Bangladesh will need a lot of this if they want to post a challenging score

Ayabonga Khaka to Sharmin Akhter, 1 run, slanting into the pads, Akhter turns her bat and works it to deep square leg for a single

Chloe Tryon to Sharmin Akhter, FOUR, now this one is on a platter! Short, wide, asking to be hit and Sharmin slaps it through backward point

Nonkululeko Mlaba to Sobhana Mostary, FOUR, strays in line and Mostary cashes in! It's drifting down leg, she spots it quickly, gets low and sweeps it past short fine

Shabnim Ismail to Sobhana Mostary, FOUR, slashes hard and the edge runs away fine! Short of length delivery just outside off, again the width isn't there as desired but she goes for it anyway. Gets lucky with a healthy edge

Shabnim Ismail to Taj Nehar, out Lbw!! Nehar given out LBW! She has a chat with her partner and goes for the review! A couple of things to see here - where's the impact and how high is it? Oh it stays with umpire's call. Nipping in off a good length, she's right back in the crease which allows the impact to be marginally in line with off stump. Could've been outside the line if she got forward even a little bit. From there, there's no saving her as it's crashing into the top of off. Taj Nehar lbw b Shabnim Ismail 1(12)

Shabnim Ismail to Sobhana Mostary, FOUR, big swing from Mostary, gets a thick edge and it flies over short third. Somewhat breaks the shackles. Mostary decides she can't just poke around and throws the bat at one. Gets lucky!

Shabnim Ismail to Sobhana Mostary, byes, FOUR, that's a peach, and ends up beating both the batter and the keeper. Almost like an off-cutter, comes in a long way from outside off and goes over the leg stump. Mostary wanted to block it but was beaten on the inside edge, and the keeper had no chance as well

Marizanne Kapp to Juairiya Ferdous, out Bowled!! knocked over off the very first ball! That's a horrible shot to play on the first delivery of the match. Kapp drops it full on the off-stump and Ferdous goes for a wild heave down the wrong line, but makes no connection whatsoever. Golden duck for Ferdous and South Africa are off to a perfect start. Juairiya Ferdous b Marizanne Kapp 0(1)
