India Women vs South Africa Women, Final - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Deepti Sharma to de Klerk, out Caught by Kaur!! India are champions for the very first time! A moment that promises to change the lives not just of the 11 on the field, but millions off it too. The fireworks go off at the DY Patil as the players come charging from every direction before melting in each other's arms. They've been through it all, from a struggle for recognition to the pinnacle of the sport. And it's captain Harmanpreet who puts the finishing touches. Full toss, de Klerk swings, slices it in the air and Harman leaps at extra cover to grab it with both hands. More than a billion people leap with her. de Klerk c Kaur b Deepti Sharma 18(19) [4s-3]

Deepti Sharma to de Klerk, no run, drifting away outside off, lands in the blockhole and she squeezes it to extra cover

Deepti Sharma to de Klerk, no run, round the wicket, drifting away outside off, right in the slot for de Klerk who has an almighty swing. Drags it off the inside half into the on-side

Deepti Sharma to Ayabonga Khaka, no run, turning in off a good length, defended

Deepti Sharma to Chloe Tryon, out Lbw!! Given out LBW! Tryon reviews! India can sense it now. Fired in full on middle and leg, zips through off the surface, beats Tryon on the flick and hammers the front pad. India know it the moment that thud is heard. The umpire obliges too, and ball-tracking says it's clipping leg stump. Chloe Tryon lbw b Deepti Sharma 9(8) [4s-1]

Deepti Sharma to de Klerk, 1 run, flicked through midwicket

Deepti Sharma to de Klerk, no run, sharp turn, rips off a good length and goes past the inside edge. There's an appeal for LBW but maybe it's doing too much. It's not given and India don't have a review

Deepti Sharma to Wolvaardt, out Caught by Amanjot Kaur!! Amanjot hangs on for dear life on the third attempt! For dear life! An attempted slog-sweep from Wolvaardt, gets a lot of height but not much distance and the ball goes high up before descending at deep midwicket. It's Amanjot there - one of India's best on the field. And she nearly makes a mess of it. The ball pops out, she has a juggle.. once, twice and holds on with the third attempt. She collapses to the floor in relief and a couple of teammates collapse right on top of her. A huge wicket in the final, the South African captain departs. Wolvaardt c Amanjot Kaur b Deepti Sharma 101(98) [4s-11 6s-1]

Deepti Sharma to Chloe Tryon, no run, punched off the back foot to extra cover

Deepti Sharma to Wolvaardt, 1 run, hundred in the semifinal, hundred in the final! Laura Wolvaardt, what a champion! No big celebrations from her, knows the job is not done but what a knock it has been again. Floated up on off, works it with the turn through midwicket and ambles across to the other end. Hardly reacts to the milestone, just meets with her partner, shares a hug, and back to business

Deepti Sharma to Chloe Tryon, 1 run, floated up outside off, full ball, Tryon gets forward and drives to long-off

Deepti Sharma to Annerie Dercksen, out Bowled!! The yorker sneaks through and Dercksen is done for! Not for the first time Deepti strikes after firing it in the blockhole in this tournament. Has used this delivery to brilliant effect, not just to stop runs at the death - like she did against Australia - but also pick up wickets. The bat comes down late and the stumps are rattled.

Deepti Sharma to Wolvaardt, wide, India now have no reviews left. Blame Richa Ghosh for this. She unnecessarily got excited, saying she heard something.
