Women's U19 World Cup: Shafali, Shweta slay South Africa - Highlights

Good stuff from India!

India are slowly pulling things back after that explosive start for South Africa. Four quite overs in a row and the batters would be restless to breakfree now.

RSA: 72/2 (8)

END OF POWERPLAY!

South Africa's powerplay, without an iota of doubt. But, the Indians have done well to pull things back a bit in the final two overs. The girls in blue will need to chip in with regular wickets to keep South Africa in control.

RSA: 64/2 (6)

Good over from Verma

She was welcomed with a boundary, but Shafali Verma bounces back well to take a wicket and leak just two more runs.

RSA: 62/2 (5)

SHAFALI VERMA STRIKES!

Golden duck for South African captain Oluhle Siyo, and it's her Indian counterpart who gets the better of her. Shafali Verma brings herself on and scalps a big wicket.

Siyo tried to make room and cut a delivery aimed at the stumps, and misses. The off stump is rattled. 

SONAM YADAV STRIKES!

Elandri Rensburg gets carried away by all that was happening and tries yet another big shot to the leg side. She can only manage to scoop it high up in the air. Indian wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh keeps calm and catches it well.

Finally, India have a much required breakthrough.

ELANDRI DROPPED!

This is simply terrible from India. Elandri Rensburg steps out and lofts Sonam Yadav straight down the ground. The fielder at long off does well to reach the ball, but just parries it over the fence for a six.

To make matters worse, Rensburg gets a boundary off the very next ball too.

Elandri joins the party

India looking clueless on the field as Elandri Rensburg opens her arm now. Steps down to hit Archana Devi for a six off her first delivery before getting another boundary through the covers.

The Indian fielding has been ordinary too.

RSA: 45/0 (3)

Simone Lourens - WHAT A STAR!

This is a blistering start for Simone Lourens and South Africa. The 15-year-old is going all guns blazing and smashes Sonam Yadav for three boundaries.

Shafali Verma is making field changes after almost every ball, but nothing is working for India. Lourens has raced to 30* off just 10 deliveries.

RSA: 33/0 (2)

Shabnam taken to cleaners

Simone Lourens takes a liking to Shabnam Shakil early on and pockets four boundaries in the very first over.

4,6,4,4nb for Lourens as Shabnam leaks 20 in the first over. Not the start India would have hoped for in the World Cup.

RSA: 20/0 (1)

Shabnam with the ball for India

Shabnam Shakil with the ball for India. Elandri Rensburg and Simone Lourens are the batters for South Africa.
