de Klerk to Radha Yadav, out Deepti Sharma Run Out!! 1 run completed. Full toss and Radha Yadav swings for the fences and ends up losing her bat.

Deepti Sharma run out (Chloe Tryon/Sinalo Jafta) 58(58) [4s-3 6s-1]

de Klerk to Deepti Sharma, 1 run, Radha Yadav wanted a second, but Deepti was content with a single. She miscued the loft to long-on and it dropped just short of the incoming Wolvaardt at long-on.

de Klerk to Amanjot Kaur, out Caught&Bowled!! Slower balls working like magic for South Africa. It's a on a length and forced Amanjot to play much earlier than she would have liked. Chips the drive back at the bowler and de Klerk takes a fantastic one-handed catch to her right. Deepti Sharma got in the way and almost barged into the bowler, but de Klerk kept her eyes on the ball and never lost the grip despite a glacing blow to Deepti's shoulder. Amanjot Kaur c and b de Klerk 12(14) [4s-1]

de Klerk to Deepti Sharma, no run, a wry smile from Deepti on seeing the big screen. Full and shaping in late, Deepti looks to loft down the ground and gets beaten on the inside edge.

11
