Women's T20 World Cup
Group 1: South Africa beat Pakistan by 2 wickets.
Birmingham, 17 June.
Pakistan 126-9 (20 overs; F Sana 55*, T Hassan 23; M Kapp 3-23)
South Africa 126-8 (16.5 overs; Annerie Dercksen 52, Nadine de Klerk 37; Fatima Sana 3-15, Sadia Iqbal 2-26, Tuba Hassan 2-28)
Shamim the fifth wicket to fall inside the Powerplay
Two wickets in Kapp's opening overs and a third in her second rocked Pakistan who had opted to bat first. Their cause was not helped with three chaotic run-outs but skipper Fatima Sana and Tuba Hassan added 71 for the ninth wicket to give her side a total to defend. Annerie Dercksen takes 21 off the fifth over after a watchful start, helped by some awful Pakistan fielding. Second T20I half century for Annerie Dercksen (51*) from 32 balls - 7 fours, 2 sixes. Kapp given out stumped - don't think she's too enamoured with the decision. One brings two as Dercksen goes. Little wobble for SA. Five down and 34 still needed. Having reached 107 for 5 at drinks they lose a wicket straight after. Could there be a late twist? Pakistan fielding and catching has been abysmal. If they had been on it, this could have been a win for them. It's getting nervy with 8 down. South Africa far from convincing but get the win.
