Milestone
Not an end we wanted to the day, but there's not much you can do against nature. West Indies Women stay alive in the tournament with the one point they receive from this result. Do join us for the upcoming encounters as well. Until then, it's goodbye from me, Ajay, and my fellow commentator Akshay and scorer Ashok. Take care!
Stafanie Taylor | West Indies Skipper: "We can’t do much about god’s plan. We can’t control these
things and we were only hoping to get some game today. Our bowlers are doing a
fantastic job. Chinelle loves playing against South Africa and she picks
wickets against them. Loved to see her bowl today. We will have some popcorn
and hope that South Africa beats India to increase our chances of qualifying to
the semis. When we travel and train and play, we don’t get much time to recover.
So, it’s all about managing the workload and the niggles. But if we enter the semis,
it doesn’t matter whether we have niggles or injuries, we have to step up and
perform."
Sune Luus | South Africa Skipper: "Very happy and excited to be in the semi-finals. Not a good
day, waiting in the dressing room for the rain to stop but happy to see du Preez get some runs under
her belt before the knockout stages. We pride ourselves on our fielding and
will look to keep performing in the same way. We have a dream of playing the
final but there is a semi-final before that and we have to beat India in our
next game. We will look to carry the momentum forward and a win on Sunday would be
nice."
That's the end of a day that we came in with high hopes for an action-packed contest. The game finally commenced after much delay. A 26 over contest began with the West Indies Women putting on a display of some great bowling and fielding, albeit with a couple of dropped catches. Just when Mignon du Preez started steering the Proteas women out of the troubled waters, the rain gods decided to intervene yet again and the game had to be called off. The result gives both West Indies and South Africa Women 1 point each. While South Africa are through to the semi-finals, West Indies will now hope for either England or India to lose a game for them to progress.
Match has been abandoned. With this result, South Africa are through to the semis.
Akshay: It has started to rain and the covers are coming on. The players walk off the field and the square is being covered now. It's been that kind of a day so far. Let's hope this is a passing shower.
