SA-W vs IND-W

That is all from here then. South Africa have a 2-0 lead in this 5-match series and India have all to do, the third game will be at the Wanderers on Wednesday (22 April). We will bring you all the action as ever. For now, this is Sourabh Agrawal signing off on behalf of Soumarya Dutta, Datrim Ray and the team. Cheers!

Laura Wolvaardt (South Africa captain): Pretty good in all three aspect again. One or two went down but we took some good ones as well. After the start they had, to chase only 140 was pretty good. It's an area we struggled with last series. To turn that around is pleasing. Bowlers identified that pace off was working well and communicated it. Change of venue.. will assess and see how it plays. This is a world class Indian side, they are world champions in the ODI format and we expect them to bounce back. We will switch off tomorrow and then be ready for the next one

Harmanpreet Kaur (India Women captain): With bat, we were not able to contribute the way we wanted to. The last 10 overs, we need to reconsider and think about how we need to go in the next matches. Bowling wise as well, the powerplays are not going our way. It is a tough time for the team, need to stay together. (batting in the last 5 overs) It is important to rotate the strike even if you are not getting the big shots away, we have had chats about the same but it hasn't happened for us. (on Shafali Verma) She has been a great talent for us, hopefully she can keep contributing and providing us with the starts. (on the next games) New place, hopefully we go there with a positive intent. The T20 format is like that, it is all about staying together

Chloe Tryon(South Africa Women) -  " Always good to be home where my friends and family are here to cheer for me. I am happy that I could contribute and help the team today. The coach has added his experience and some basic things that I needed to add, I have added. The conditions were useful and I tried to make the most of it. " 

4:59 PM local time, 8:29 PM IST: MATCH SUMMARY 

South Africa Women (148/2 in 17.1 overs) beat India Women (147 all-out in 20 overs) by 8 wickets

Sune Luus 57(46) | Chloe Tryon 3/22(4)
Shafali Verma 57(38) | Shreyanka Patil 2/35(4)

South African Women have completely outplayed the Indian Women once again and there are smiles all around for the home side, they take a comprehensive 2-0 lead in the 5-match series and leave India with a plethora of questions to answer

They chased down 158 with 5 balls to spare in the first game and today they have bettered it by chasing 148 with as many as 17 balls remaining and 8 wickets in hand, they look like they have not even broken a sweat

147 was always going to be a under par total, India threw away the advantage with the bat, lost their last 7 wickets for just 38 runs in less than 7 overs to get bowled out for 147 when at one point they looked good to go close to 170

South Africa broke the back of this run chase in the poweplay itself, their joint-highest powerplay score in T20Is as openers Wolvaardt and Luus smashed the sloppy Indian bowling around and raced to 66/0 in 6 overs. The opening stand was eventually broken in the 12th over after they added 106 runs but the job had already been done by then. Wolvaardt got a fifty, so did Luus, both of them could not be there at the end but they made sure they got South Africa in a position from where they could not lose

India were lethargic on the field, dropped multiple catches and were poor with the ball as well. It looked like they had no answers, they were simply crushed apart. The South African flag is flying high in the stands in Kingsmead, Durban and the fans are absolutely loving it 

17.1 Anushka Sharma to Tazmin Brits, FOURRR! SOUTH AFRICA WOMEN WIN BY 8 WICKETS! THEY GO 2-0 UP IN THE SERIES! THIS HAS BEEN ANOTHER CLINICAL EFFORT FROM THEM! It was short and wide outside off. Brits rocked back and hammered it through the extra cover region for a boundary. 

Only 4 runs required for South Africa now! We could very well be moving into the final over of the match. South Africa on the brink of making it a 2-0 lead for themselves

16.6 Arundhati Reddy to Annerie Dercksen, FOURR MOREE! THE MISERY PILES ON! It was flatter and down the leg stump line. Dercksen glanced it away through the fine leg region for a boundary. 

16.3 Arundhati Reddy to Annerie Dercksen, FOURRR MOREEE! It was overpitched and on the fifth stump line. Dercksen sliced it and got an outside edge through the short third man region for a boundary. 

16.2 Arundhati Reddy to Tazmin Brits, too full and bowled around the middle and leg stump line. Brits pushes it straight back to the bowler. Reddy dropped it and it will be a single. 

15.6 Shreyanka Patil to Annerie Dercksen, good length delivery and bowled around the middle stump line. Dercksen glances it through the square leg region for a single.
