SA-W vs IND-W

6:25 PM local time (6:25 PM IST): So that is all that we have from Colombo after quite an absorbing match of 100 overs! Now, you can shift your attention to some T20 action at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata where home team Kolkata Knight Riders take on Chennai Super Kings. Click here to join in on our live coverage. For now, this is the pair of Darpan and Bidipto taking your leave. Keep following Sportskeeda! 

Harmanpreet Kaur (India captain): "We wanted to end the group stage on a positive note and this was the perfect match! It was a good pitch to bat on, and players like Jemimah, Smriti and Deepti played really well. We told Deepti and co. to keep batting, 4-5 runs per over they made sure to cash in on that after making those partnerships tick. The bowling effort was up to mark. Amanjot did her job, the spinners chipped in and the fielding on the whole was good." 

Jemimah Rodrigues (Player of the Match, 123 runs off 101 balls): "I think the year has just begun for me! The World Cup is the target, but the road to is going well. I think I just tried to play simple cricket, but I was looking to score runs. That's my game. My idea was to build partnerships, first with Smriti (Mandhana) and then with Deepti (Sharma). Deepti played a superb knock too! Previously, I threw my wicket away after playing a few dot balls, now, I am more someone who believes in making up for things later on. It is pretty hot here in Sri Lanka at this time of the year, but I try to keep it 50-overs specific in terms of fitness and it has helped me." 

Chloe Tryon (South Africa captain): "Little bit disappointing. We can say that we did not have a good first half. We should have been tighter with our lines and lengths. Our fielding has not been upto the mark in this tournament. We leaked 30-40 runs there. We won a good toss and it was a good wicket throughout. Annerie Dercksen is really exciting to bat with. We ever gave up till the end. That is why I love this team. We will need to go back to the basics in our last game. We did not put much pressure on them (Jemimah Rodrigues and Deepti Sharma). We should have hit the stumps a bit more. We have been testing things. Smit made her debut today, Jafta batted ahead of me. We have been trying to give these girls chances. But we really have to do the basics right."

6:06 PM local time (6:06 PM IST) | India Women win by 23 runs! 

Jemimah Rodrigues 123 (101) | Amanjot Kaur - 3/59 (9)
Annerie Dercksen 81 (80) | Nadine de Klerk - 2/54 (9)

The final line-up is complete. It will be Sri Lanka Women taking on India Women for the summit clash, but this is a game which was really contested! 

South Africa gave a great account of themselves. Having stayed in the chase right till the end, they never gave up and continued to push for a win. But, their batting in the middle was the reason why things got tough towards the end. 

It was overcast all along, and light did halt play for a while with two overs remaining, but we managed to get the full 50 overs in this innings and the quality of cricket from both teams was pretty impressive! The pitch was good for batting, which is a welcome change in the women's game! 

The conditions were humid, and South Africa were at the receiving end of it. Annerie Dercksen and Chloe Tryon felt the effects of it, but both played two important knocks in the context of this run chase. While Dercksen hung around to keep one end going, Tryon's stroke-play after getting set was breathtaking! 

But the rest of the batting needed to step up to the plate even more. Interestingly enough, Sune Luus came out to bat as late as number nine! That too, in a game Laura Wolvaardt was absent. 

India bowled and fielded much better today. With only one seam-bowling option, Harmanpreet Kaur's ladies stuck to the task and eked out some economical overs, one after another. Amanjot Kaur's medium-pace bowling was the pick. The spinners were all up to the mark on the whole, and tremedous right through the middle overs. 

In the end, the runs put on the board proved good enough for India to take home all two points and knock South Africa out of the final. 

49.6 Deepti Sharma to Sune Luus, single! Deepti went for the yorker again. Luus stood deep in the crease and hence was able to squeeze it out to long-on. Amidst the fast fading light, the players get together for the final handshakes. Harmanpreet Kaur is having a discussion with the umpires. We don't know what it is about? Could it possibly be about why they did not ask to get the floodlights switched on? At least that is what we are pondering from here. Anyhow, the bottom line is India have won by 23 runs. A victory that will be remembered for Jemimah Rodrigues' sprightly 2nd ODI ton. South Africa have been knocked out. 

49.5 Deepti Sharma to Nadine de Klerk, full, outside off. De Klerk slashes and the ball falls in front of the backward point fielder who dove forward. One run.

49.2 Deepti Sharma to Sune Luus, delivers it in the blockhole, at the off peg. Luus moves half a step across and drills it to long-on. One run.

49.1 Deepti Sharma to Chloe Tryon, starts over the wicket, BOWLED! Flighted ball that dipped on a very full length. Tryon shuffled to the leg side to give her room and swung hard, but alas, she missed. The ball cannoned into the off and middle. 

Deepti Sharma [9.0-0-54-1] comes back into the attack.

One more over to go. We will have it played out. South Africa continue to give a good account of themselves, but India seem to have things under control.
