India Women vs South Africa Women, 10th Match, ICC Womens World Cup 2025 - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

de Klerk to Shree Charani, out Caught by Wolvaardt!! Simple catch to extra-cover and India's innings is done. A slower-ball off-cutter full on off, Shree Charani gets forward to loft and chips a simple catch to extra-cover where Wolvaardt dives forward to take a simple catch. Two in two for de Klerk and India end on 251. Shree Charani c Wolvaardt b de Klerk 0(1)

de Klerk to Richa Ghosh, out Caught by Chloe Tryon!! End of Richa Ghosh. She holes out to a juicy low full-toss and picks out long-on. She gets under this and miscues it, simple catch and it's just below the waist. Richa's waist is measured at 4cm and the ball was just below that measurement. Richa didn't even run as she wanted the no-ball, she looked at the square-leg umpire and then took the review. de Klerk very lucky there, was a delivery that was begging to be hit. Richa walks off to a standing ovation. Richly deserved too. She should have got a 100 but not to be. Richa Ghosh c Chloe Tryon b de Klerk 94(77) [4s-11 6s-4]

de Klerk to Richa Ghosh, FOUR, more runs. A slower-ball off-cutter outside off, Richa Ghosh sees the width, carves it between backward point and short third man, right into the gap, runs away

de Klerk to Richa Ghosh, FOUR, into the 90s. A slower-ball off-cutter on off, Richa Ghosh gets forward and lofts, mid-off is inside and it's well wide of that fielder, in the slot and Richa doesn't miss out

de Klerk to Richa Ghosh, 2 runs, Sinalo Jafta fails to collect the throw on the bounce and a tight 2nd turns out well for Richa Ghosh, who dives full-length to make it. A slower-ball full on leg-stump, Richa Ghosh flicks to deep mid-wicket, she was always going for the 2nd, the throw was wide and on the bounce to Jafta, who fails to collect. The throw came from Brits there

Kapp to Sneh Rana, out Caught by Wolvaardt!! End of a fine cameo. A short of length delivery on middle, Sneh Rana backs away and cuts, picks out cover-point. Was pace-off too and was there for the cut, but Sneh Rana couldn't find the gap. Sneh Rana c Wolvaardt b Kapp 33(24) [4s-6]

Kapp to Richa Ghosh, 1 run, dropped by Bosch at deep mid-wicket. A flat pull and Bosch doesn't pick it, gets her hands and can't catch it. Another stare from Kapp, was a back of a length on off, Richa Ghosh pulls so well and Bosch couldn't judge the flat hit diving forward

Kapp to Sneh Rana, FOUR, look at Kapp's reaction. Full on middle, Sneh Rana stays leg-side and drives, the thick outside-edge flies and just wide of the outstretched right hand of Sinalo Jafta. Jafta late to move and was wrong-footed too. Kapp with a stare that could kill millions

Kapp to Sneh Rana, FOUR, thick top-edge and four. Full on middle, Sneh Rana looks to paddle and it goes straight over Sinalo Jafta and runs away wide of short third man. All the luck with India at the moment

Sekhukhune to Richa Ghosh, SIX, this time she picks the slower-ball. On a length outside off, Richa Ghosh gets forward and biffs that off the middle of the bat, mid-off was in and it flies all the way over long-off. Such a clean clean strike

Sekhukhune to Richa Ghosh, 1 run, dropped by de Klerk at long-on. She comes forward and drops this. Richa Ghosh meanwhile is not happy with herself, she slams the bat with her glove, a slower-ball on a length outside off, lofted and it's a flat hit, de Klerk comes and dives forward, gets both hands to it, but drops it

Ayabonga Khaka to Richa Ghosh, SIX, such a poor delivery and it was begging to be hit. Juicy loopy full-toss outside off, almost a no-ball for height, dips at the right time, Richa Ghosh gets forward and slams it way back over long-off. That was hit with pure power. 19 off the over and South Africa look rattled here

Ayabonga Khaka to Richa Ghosh, FOUR, now to the left of deep backward point. This is one bounce over the ropes. Ayabonga Khaka is not bowling badly, but Richa Ghosh is so good, it's full outside off, she opens the face of the bat and carves, gets a good connection. The fielder was moved after the last ball and Richa found the gap beautifully

Ayabonga Khaka to Richa Ghosh, FOUR, momentum totally with India. Richa Ghosh stays deep and knows the full and wide delivery is coming, was the cross-seamer, Richa Ghosh carves it over cover-point and beats deep point running to her right

Ayabonga Khaka to Sneh Rana, FOUR, low full-toss outside off, a gift, Sneh Rana gets forward and slaps that powerfully, wide of mid-off and it's another boundary for India. The crowd and the dugout are up and cheering loudly

Mlaba to Richa Ghosh, FOUR, risky but it comes off. It's full on off, Richa Ghosh reverse-sweeps and beats the outstretched right hand on the leap at backward point, Kapp was the fielder and it just flew past her right hand, it's tossed up full on off, had Richa missed that, she was in trouble

de Klerk to Richa Ghosh, 1 run, slower-ball off-cutter and wide outside off, Richa Ghosh reaches for it and cuts straight to the fielder at deep extra-cover. 50 for Richa - she has played well under extreme pressure, the crowd love it

de Klerk to Sneh Rana, FOUR, full on middle, neat paddle that from Sneh Rana and she beats the diving short fine to her right, de Klerk is disappointed, Sneh Rana fist-pumps to celebrate

Mlaba to Sneh Rana, FOUR, thick outside-edge and no slip. Runs away. Luck with Sneh Rana, she gets forward to drive this tossed up delivery and it spins just the hint to take the outside-edge, would have been a low catch to slip had there been one

Mlaba to Sneh Rana, FOUR, rare bad ball this, short and wide outside off, Sneh Rana lashes the cut and beats extra-cover and cover

de Klerk to Richa Ghosh, SIX, she gets under this. Too predictable from de Klerk, another slower-ball off-cutter, on a length outside off, Richa sinks low and sweeps aerially, easily clears deep mid-wicket, dropped outside the fence by a gentleman

Chloe Tryon to Amanjot Kaur, out Caught by Luus!! A wicket to end her spell. Amanjot Kaur holes out. She was struggling to rotate strike and gives it away. She comes down the track and is not to the pitch of the ball, lofts and right off the bottom of the bat, Luus at mid-off judges it beautifully, going back and taking it over her right shoulder, takes it with two hands and then tumbles to ground. Excellent catch that and also a fine spell from Chloe Tryon. India now down to their bowlers. Amanjot Kaur c Luus b Chloe Tryon 13(44) [4s-1]

Mlaba to Richa Ghosh, 1 run, tossed up full on off, Richa Ghosh gets forward to drive wide of extra-cover

Chloe Tryon to Amanjot Kaur, FOUR, loopy and on a length outside off, Amanjot Kaur goes on the back foot and cuts late, gets it fine and there's no short third man, runs away

Mlaba to Richa Ghosh, FOUR, just off-line and that's helped away for four. Sliding down leg, full, Richa Ghosh brings out the paddle and gets it fine, wide of short fine to her right

Sekhukhune to Richa Ghosh, SIX, slower-ball on off, Richa Ghosh gets low and sweeps, gets a good connection and it clears deep mid-wicket on the full and easily too

Chloe Tryon to Richa Ghosh, FOUR, poor delivery and put away. Full down leg, Richa Ghosh sweeps and beats deep backward square-leg running and sliding to her right

Ayabonga Khaka to Richa Ghosh, FOUR, poor from Luus at mid-off. She goes to her left and lets it go, gives away four. At best it was one. Full on off, a flowing drive and that should have been stopped

Chloe Tryon to Richa Ghosh, FOUR, Richa Ghosh breaks the shackles. It's tossed up and in the slot, she gets forward and lofts cleanly, over mid-on and it's one bounce over the ropes. The crowd find their voice

Kapp to Deepti Sharma, out Caught by Sinalo Jafta!! Very, very poor from Kaur. Deepti knew there was contact and was walking away but Kaur stopped her, made her review with 1 second left on the timer. Kapp comes back and strangles Deepti down leg. An innocuous delivery, Deepti leans forward and gets a faint tickle on the glance, Jafta moves to her right and hangs on to a sharp catch. India's crisis batter is gone and things are going downhill. Deepti Sharma c Sinalo Jafta b Kapp 4(14)

Chloe Tryon to Kaur, out Caught by Kapp!! Second wicket for Tryon. Fourth wicket for left-arm spin in this innings and India in all sorts of trouble as the skipper walks back. This is smartly bowled though. Tryon could sense Kaur was itching to play the big shot, floated it up outside off and made the India captain reach for the drive, she slices it to backward point and Kapp takes a good low catch. Kaur c Kapp b Chloe Tryon 9(24)

Chloe Tryon to Kaur, wide, sliding down leg, Kaur attempts the glance and does not connect, wide given

Chloe Tryon to Rodrigues, out Lbw!! Tryon and South Africa are jubilant. Umpire Jacqueline Williams took her time before raising the finger. It could have gone either way but it is South Africa who benefit with the umpire's call. India have lost 3 wickets in quick time. They have gone from 83/1 to 92/4. Rodrigues fell to the sweep in the previous game and she does so in this as well. Flighted delivery, Rodrigues misses the sweep and is struck on the arm, impact was in-line with the stumps and ball-tracking showed it to be hitting top of leg-stump. Her front foot was pointing towards wide mid off and she got into a tangle. South Africa are right on top.. Rodrigues lbw b Chloe Tryon 0(4)

Sekhukhune to Pratika Rawal, out Caught by Tazmin Brits!! Soft dismissal. This is a nothing delivery and an even worse shot. Another start for Rawal and she does not make it count. India in a bit of trouble.. 75.7ks slower delivery sprayed down leg, would have been a wide had Rawal let go, but she reaches and closes the bat face early, the leading edge balloons up and Brits comes in from mid-wicket to take a simple catch. That came so slowly that Rawal could have waited and worked it away, but instead she gifts Sekhukhune her wicket. Pratika Rawal c Tazmin Brits b Sekhukhune 37(56) [4s-5]

Mlaba to Harleen Deol, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Second wicket for Mlaba and she does a little bye-bye. India's woes against left-arm spin continue.. That's the 9th wicket they have lost to left-arm spin in this tournament. This was an absolute beauty from Mlaba. Turn, drift and Deol is beaten all ends. Flighted delivery, drifts in with the arm and draws Deol into the forward block, the ball spins away to beat the outside edge and crash into the stumps. Deol had been the anchor for India in the first two games but she's gone cheaply today. Harleen Deol b Mlaba 13(23) [4s-1]

de Klerk to Harleen Deol, FOUR, first boundary for Harleen Deol! 106.3kph, full and wide of off, Deol delays her shot a bit and flays it to the left of the backward point fielder. Good timing and the ball reaches the fence in a jiffy

Mlaba to Mandhana, out Caught by Luus!! Mandhana holes out! Mlaba strikes with her second ball. 73.6kph, tossed up ball, full and in the slot, Mandhana gets forward to loft it with the spin but doesn't generate enough power behind the shot as it comes off the bottom part of the bat. There's long-on placed specifically for this and Luus completes the formalities. The left-arm spinner has removed the dangerous left-handed batter. Now, South Africa will look to apply more pressure. Mandhana c Luus b Mlaba 23(32) [4s-1 6s-1]

de Klerk to Mandhana, FOUR, 102kph, Mandhana greets de Klerk with a boundary. Harmless shortish ball and the left-hander has ample time. Waits on the back foot and heaves it over midwicket for a one-bounce four. 50 up for India

Ayabonga Khaka to Mandhana, SIX, 106.5kph, Mandhana breaks the shackles. From round the wicket, Khaka bowls a fullish ball, the left-handed batter walks down, gets under it and tonks it downtown. This shot should boost her confidence

Kapp to Pratika Rawal, FOUR, all class now! Kapp overpitches and Rawal presses forward to drive with the swing through the covers. Back-to-back boundaries

Kapp to Pratika Rawal, FOUR, boundary off the free-hit! Fullish delivery and Rawal swings hard across the line to send it through square leg

Ayabonga Khaka to Pratika Rawal, FOUR, 104.6kph, full and outside off, a big stride forward and Rawal square-drives firmly behind square on the off-side. The fielder in the deep runs across and dives to her right but in vain

Kapp to Pratika Rawal, FOUR, 110.4kph, length ball wide of off, Rawal waits on the back foot and punches it nicely through the covers

Kapp to Pratika Rawal, FOUR, wrong line, India and Rawal get off the mark. No swing, short of a good length ball and straying onto the pads, the right-hander glances it to fine leg. Just a tickle and the ball runs away to the fence
