Marizanne Kapp to Arundhati Reddy. Half volley, to leg on the front foot Slog, missed for no runs, fielded by Jafta. That's the end of the first innings. India have posted a competitive total on the board, 158 for 7. Shafali Verma provided a blazing start with a brilliant 31 off just 15 deliveries, while Deepti Sharma chipped in with a valuable 29. However, wickets fell at regular intervals, preventing India from building a bigger total. Shabnim Ismail and Marizanne Kapp were the pick of the bowlers, claiming two wickets apiece. The chase is set up nicely, with South Africa aiming to overhaul the target and India looking to defend their total. Stay tuned as the run chase gets underway shortly.
