Live: India’s unlikely bowling hero turns World Cup final against South Africa

The other pick of the bowlers, to be honest. India have pulled out the big guns.

A single each from the first two balls of the over. 100 balls left, 122 needed.

We’re into crunch time now. With Wolvaardt at the crease, everything is possible for South Africa.

Sree has been excellent out there, probably the pick of the bowlers all told. She’s even managed to beat the outside edge of Wolvaardt’s bat, which hasn’t happened much tonight.

Two from the over, that’s a ripper for India.

It has been change after change after change for India – and it has been working a treat for Harmanpreet and her team.

The South African batters haven’t been able to find their rhythm against the rotating spin quartet.

Big shot! Radha had bowled a good over, going for just four singles, but her final ball is a rank, rank full toss. It’s well above hip height and Dercksen does well to readjust and smash it for six over mid wicket.

That will be a free hit as well…

And Dercksen smashes the free hit for another massive six! Woah…how big will those 13 runs be in the story of this game?

That’s drinks.

Mistimed! It’s down the leg side from Shafali and Wolvaardt is down and sweeping – but she can only get a top edge on one. It falls safe and the batters run a couple.

A single gives Shafali her first look at Dercksen.

Dercksen knocks one behind Ghosh and the batters complete a very quick two.

A single off the final ball ensures Dercksen will keep the strike.

Annerie Derksen to the middle.

She’s off the mark straight away – courtesy of a pretty tight single into the on-side.

Woolvardt returns the favour before Deepti ends a successful over with a dot.

Jafta is gone!

She tries to heave Deepti deep into the on-side, but hardly gets any of it.

The ball loops up and falls straight down the throat of mid-on.

South Africa five down and rocking here.

Quick single! Mix up!? There’s lots of shouting out there as Jafta almost barbecues her captain, deciding to run a single despite hitting it straight to extra cover. Wolvaardt gets home safe.

She certainly has the golden arm right now – but she is certainly presenting scoring opportunities.

Can Wolvaardt and Jafta take advantage?

They run a couple to begin the over.

Jafta is playing and missing one just outside off stump, then running a single through midwicket.

Jafta plays the final ball of the over to deep cover for a single.

India’s spin cycle continues, with Deepti Sharmi re-entering the attack to bowl some more stump to stump off breaks.

Jafta works the first for a single but Woolvardt is then held to three dots.

She then shovels one deep into the on-side for a couple.

A dot to end the over.

Turn to begin!

The left arm finger spinner is coming around the wicket to the right handed Wolvaardt, who is wafting and missing one that pitches and grips and turns away.

Wolvaardt works a single.

Jafta comes down and plays another cover drive, this time for a single.

Uppish! This one really holds up and Wolvaardt is playing a shot and then aborting and ultimately chipping it tamely into the off-side. It falls safe.

A single to end the over – four from it.

Wolvaardt works a single then Jafta does the same.

Not many runs out there at the moment for South Africa.

Jafta plays an attractive looking cover drive into the circle for no run.

Shot! Jafta plays an almost identical shot to the previous ball, but this time its slightly squarer and the ball is through the infield and to the boundary.

And why not?

She has 2-6 from her two overs.

Before today, she had an ODI bowling average in the 70s.

Jafta is struggling for fluency and playing three dots before working a single in front of square.

Wolvaardt hasn’t seen much strike in the last couple overs, and perhaps because of that, misses out on an easy boundary down the leg side.

She then works the final ball of the over for a single.

South Africa don’t have much time to lick their wounds here – they’re already behind the eight ball in terms of run rate and Radha has begun this over with four consecutive dots.

Jafta strides forward and plays an attractive looking drive to mid-off for no run.

She works a single off the final ball.

And WK Sinalo Jafta is out in the middle.

She’s prodding to the off-side to begin. No run.

Three more dots.

Jafta is off the mark with a single off the final ball of the over.

The part timer strikes again!

This time it’s the massive wicket of Marizanne Kapp!

Wide and down the leg-side, Kapp is trying to glance but only tickles it through to Richa Ghosh behind the stumps.

A pretty ugly wicket, in truth – but I highly doubt India cares.

Two dots to begin.

Laura Wolvaardt strides forward and works one into the on-side for a single.

Marizanne Kapp is defending and gets an inside edge that squirts into the on-side for a single.

Wide down the leg side….or is it? Richa Ghosh reckons there’s an edge on that and India send it upstairs.

Nope – ultra edge shows there is clearly nothing on that one.

India loses its second review.

A couple singles to end the over.

And its superstar Marizanne Kapp who strides to the middle.

She’s off the mark straight away, cutting for a single.

Wolvaardt works a single down the ground.

Two more singles to finish a successful over for India.

Woah, what an inspired move from Harmanpreet!

The rookie part timer prises a wicket with her third delivery.

It’s full, loopy and floated from Shafali.

Luus pushes at it and chips it right back to the bowler, who takes a simple return catch.

Now this is a bit unexpected – Shafali Verma doesn’t bowl a whole lot.

But she’s on here now, throwing down some right arm off spine of her own.

Left arm finger spin is replaced by its right arm equivalent and it seems that Deepti is reading from the same hymnbook as Sree and Radha – full and straight.

Three dots to begin.

Another sweep! And another good one. Flat and hard and four more.

Luus punts the last couple balls of the over into the on-side. No run on either occasion.
