Amanjot Kaur to de Klerk, SIX, South Africa win by 3 wickets. Nadine de Klerk, you absolute legend! She has got them over the line with 7 balls to spare. Every member of the South African squad, even the senior members, run out to congratulate her. This knock is one for the ages. South Africa were down but not out of it and it needed something special to register the win and de Klerk has produced that. She has eclipsed Richa Ghosh's knock earlier in the day and that is saying something. Coming to the ball: Nice, juicy full toss and de Klerk smokes it over wide long-on. She knew it was off the middle and had her arms aloft as soon as she made contact then does the fist pump
