8.30pm Tanya Bhatia's five-ball cameo of 11 has helped India reach 130. Run scoring isn't easy on this slow and low pitch, and de Klerk's double-wicket blow in the middle overs ensured India couldn't get away. Ismail was excellent too, taking three wickets, while the star for India was the captain Harmanpreet Kaur, who made 43 in 34 balls. It was a debut to forget for Shafali Verma with the bat, who was out for a duck, but so was Sachin Tendulkar on his ODI debut! We'll be back with the chase in ten minutes. Stick around since this won't be an easy chase for South Africa, especially with a very loud home crowd behind India

Khaka to Pandey, 2 runs, lands between cover point and cover! Luus and Ismail get to the ball but neither attempt a catch, expecting the other to. This was full outside off, and she had sliced the shot to the off side

Khaka to Pandey, no run, full, just outside off, and the attempted drive goes past her outside edge. Batsman is out of her crease, so the keeper Lee hits the stumps with an under-arm throw. Is she out? Replays show she got her bat in, just in time

Ismail to Krishnamurthy, OUT, finger raised! Full, on middle, and the ball doesn't bounce much. She tries to swipe a shot leg-side, but the ball goes under her bat to hit her front leg

V Krishnamurthy lbw b Ismail 10 (11b 1x4 0x6) SR: 90.90

Seetharaman Ram: "Let us admit it. India is not cut out for T20 - men or women. " -- Let's see both innings? The pitch is very slow, and it won't be easy for SA with India's spinners

Ismail to Bhatia, FOUR, beauttttt! Full, outside off, and she plays an exquisite square drive to the deep point fence

Ismail to Bhatia, FOUR, length ball, outside off, and cut to point. Non-striker's halfway down the wicket, with the batsman inside her crease. Point throws the ball to Ismail, and she aims at the stumps, but gives the ball a mighty throw. She misses the stumps, and with no one backing up, this goes to the long-off boundary. Batsman was out had she hit, and she should've. She was just five feet away from the stumps

Vinod Rajpal: "Seems South Africa womens are motivated by the Men team from tha 3rd T20I vs India !!"

Khaka to Vastrakar, OUT, yorker, just outside off, and dug away to short cover again. Batsman wants the run, but non-striker's inside her crease, and the fielder gently throws the ball into the keeper's gloves. Third umpire wastes no time in saying "OUT"
