Just after she picked up her first wicket in the first over, she has removed Marizane Kapp in her second over. In merely two overs, Shafali has turned the game and now India are firm favourites from here on. She was an unlucky choice as a bowler and hence Harmanpreet's change has to be credited. Most reckoned if Harmanpreet was looking for a part-timer, she would ideally have gone to Jemimah Rodrigues, who does roll her arms over.

South Africa are 129 for four currently in 25.2 overs. The two wickets from Shafali has turned things in India's favour. Laura Wolvaardt, the captain - who has been in ominous form - is still in the middle and she holds the key in this chase from here. Wolvaardt is on 68* off 61 balls and she has been joined by Sinalo Jafta. They need to rebuild and get their chase on track.
