Nadine De Klerk has done it. South Africa has won a thriller by three wickets. She has got them over the line with seven balls to spare. A heartbreak for the Harmanpreet Kaur-led India. The first really close game in this ICC Women's World Cup. India suffered their first defeat in this tournament. There's elation and joy in the South African camp. India will next face Australia Women on Sunday. South Africa Women will take on Bangladesh Women on October 13.

Out! A superb review from Team India, and they get a massive wicket of Chloe Tyron. Credit goes to Richa Ghosh and Sneh Rana, who convinced Harmanpreet Kaur to take a review. Tyron is livid as she walks off. A huge moment in the match. Chloe Tryon lbw b Sneh Rana 49(66)

It's still anybody's game. The partnership between Chloe Tyron and Nadine de Klerk is going at more than a run-rate. Tyron might be struggling, but de Klerk has taken the aggressive route.

Out! This is a massive wicket for India and Kranti Gaud. The dangerous South Africa women's captain, Laura Wolvaardt, departs apart playing a fine knock of 70 runs. The plane was simple against her  - nail the Yorkers, and that's what Kranti did. India are on the verge of victory here. Laura Wolvaardt b Kranti Gaud 70(111)

Fifty! A fighting half-century from the South Africa women's captain, Laura Wolvaardt. The right-handed batter gently raised her bat to soak in the applause from the crowd and her teammates. Laura knows there's a lot of work that needs to be done to chase down the 252-run target.

Out! Shree Charani gets her first wicket, and she removes Sinalo Jafta as South Africa sinks further. A superb decision by the on-field umpire. Shree Charani bowled a length delivery, and the Proteas Women batter went on to the back foot to play the shot. However, Sinalo missed it, and the ball hit her pads. The umpire raised a finger, and Sinalo took a review. The replays confirmed three reds, and the right-handed batter departed for 14 runs. Sinalo Jafta lbw b Shree Charani 14(20) 

Out! Two quick wickets for India and South Africa are in a spot of bother here. Deepti Sharma is delighted as he gets her first wicket on the first delivery of her spell. Anneke Bosch departs after scoring one run. India are on top now. Anneke Bosch c and b Deepti Sharma 1(2)

The first power play is done, and India will be the happier side after the first 10 overs. The Women in Blue removed two South Africa batters who had put pressure on them. For the Proteas Women, captain Laura Wolvaardt and Marizanne Kapp are the two key batters while chasing a tricky target of 252 runs.

Out! Second wicket for India, and the players are delighted. A healthy outside edge from Sune Luus and wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh pouches it cleanly. First wicket for Amanjot Kaur. Two big wickets in the first powerplay for India. Sune Luus c Richa Ghosh b Amanjot Kaur 5(9)
