Alana King to de Klerk, out Bowled!! King becomes the first player to take a seven-fer in World Cups. Just a sensational spell today. What control, what wizardry. Has been too good for South Africa and also for de Klerk here. Drifting in on middle and leg, lands on a good length and rips past the outside edge as she's opened up in defence. Was rooted to the crease and loses her off stump. de Klerk b Alana King 14(23) [4s-2]

Alana King to Masabata Klaas, out Bowled!! The dream spell from King continues! Again the control is unflinching.

Alana King to Sinalo Jafta, out Bowled!! She's gone this time! Was fun while it lasted but Jafta's counter-attack is done. King completes a five-for in just her fourth over, quite remarkable really. Gives it a rip, lands on a good length and beats Jafta on the sweep. Off stump goes for a walk. Sinalo Jafta b Alana King 29(17) [4s-7]

Alana King to Chloe Tryon, out Caught by Gardner!! What is going on! The procession of wickets continues and King now has unreal figures of 0/4. Tossed up, drifting into the pads and Tryon flicks it straight to short midwicket. Gardner isn't dropping that. On a hattrick now is King... Chloe Tryon c Gardner b Alana King 0(1)

Alana King to Annerie Dercksen, out Bowled!! That's a lovely delivery by Alana King, she's on a roll today. A loopy delivery on leg, good amount of drift and Annerie Dercksen goes for drive. Beaten on the inside edge and the leg-stump goes for a toss. Three wickets in this spell already and she hasn't even conceded a single run yet. Annerie Dercksen b Alana King 5(19) [4s-1]

Alana King to Annerie Dercksen, no run, run-out opportunity missed! Annerie Dercksen drives it towards mid-off where there's a slight fumble by Sutherland. Annerie Dercksen sets off for a single, but Sutherland is quick to recover. The throw comes in at the keeper's end, but it wasn't an accurate one.

Alana King to Kapp, out Caught by Kim Garth!! Two wickets in the over for Alana King. A tossed up delivery by Alana King outside off, Kapp tries to reach out for it with a slice and ends up handing over an easy catch to backward point. Garth stationed there makes no mistake and the Proteas are four down. Kapp c Kim Garth b Alana King 0(4)

W
Alana King to Luus, out Caught by Sutherland!! There we go! Hasn't taken long at all for King to be among the wicket. Lands it perfectly on a good length after giving it a rip, gets big on Luus's attempted slog-sweep and the top-edge goes straight up. It's nicely taken by Sutherland at mid-on and the third one is down for South Africa. Idea from Luus might've been to put the pressure on King early and not allow her to get into rhythm but it hasn't worked. Luus c Sutherland b Alana King 6(15) [4s-1]
11.1
Alana King to Luus, no run, full on middle, defended forward
