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

Shree Charani to de Klerk, out Ayabonga Khaka Run Out!! South Africa have gifted this wicket. Just when India were starting to feel the pressure, Khaka is run out in an attempt to keep de Klerk on strike for the next over. Steered to backward point, not wide enough of the fielder and they go through for the single anyway. Throw comes in flat next to the stumps, the bails are whipped off and Khaka is short of her ground. Ayabonga Khaka run out (Deepti Sharma/Richa Ghosh) 1(7)

Shree Charani to de Klerk, FOUR, suddenly Charani has lost her length. de Klerk's presence is enough. Dragged down short, she hangs back and pulls it tot he boundary behind square

Shree Charani to de Klerk, wide, down the leg-side, de Klerk looks to slog but misses, this time Richa gets behind it

Shree Charani to de Klerk, 5 wides, poor ball, poor from the keeper and poor from the fielder too! End result is five bonus runs. It's short down the leg-side, de Klerk misses the pull and Richa is beaten too. The less said about Renuka's effort the better

Shree Charani to de Klerk, FOUR, big heave across the line, in the air and in the gap from de Klerk! Line is on middle and leg and she gives it a whack through midwicket

Shree Charani to de Klerk, no run, overpitched at the stumps, de Klerk squeezes it to the left of Charani and she makes a diving stop

Shree Charani to de Klerk, no run, drifting down leg, de Klerk sweeps hard but short fine leg makes a diving stop

Shree Charani to de Klerk, no run, good length around off, turning away, defended after a forward stretch

Renuka Singh to de Klerk, 1 run, on the pads, looks to clip it away but misses

Renuka Singh to de Klerk, no run, cut hard, fails to pierce the off-side ring but has pierced the skin on Kranti's thumb and she's leaving the field after stopping at point

Renuka Singh to de Klerk, no run, this would've sealed it but Jemi puts it down! Oh the nerves! She has barely put a step wrong on the field all tournament but coming so close to the pinnacle brings with it the jitters. Angling in on the pads, good length ball, de Klerk slogs across the line and finds the fielder at deep backward square. Regulation chance pops out

Renuka Singh to de Klerk, 1 run, slanted down leg, following de Klerk again and she swipes it to deep backward square

Renuka Singh to de Klerk, no run, following de Klerk as she backs away, fired in on a good length, de Klerk looks to pull but the ball sneaks through and hits the pad

Shree Charani to de Klerk, no ball, 1 run, oh a no-ball from Charani as her front foot goes over the line! Driven down to long-off, only a single but a free-hit to come

Shree Charani to de Klerk, FOUR, now she makes better contact and nails the sweep over backward square. Nadine de Klerk, India will know all about what she can do. This game isn't done until she's out there

Shree Charani to de Klerk, 2 runs, square leg is in the ring and de Klerk walks a long way across the stumps to drag the ball over that fielder. Charani follows her too. Doesn't get the sweep anywhere near the middle, balloons off the top-edge but clears Kranti who runs back and retrieves

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
