Live | India vs South Africa | CWC 2022 | Ind 74-0 | Over 11- Mandhan in action now

 
Shafali Vermna received some medical help after the Powerplay and spin in the form of Chloe Tryon was introduced in the attack. Being a left-arm spinner, she was ideal for Shafali, but Mandhana took the strike and hit Tryon for a four by stepping out and going down the ground.

7:09 AM

Live | India vs South Africa | CWC 2022 | Ind 62-0 | Over 09-50 up for India

 
In the air... and fortunately for Shafali, it falls above the infield and also brings up the 50 partnership between Mandhana and herself and also brings up the Indian fifty as well. The contribution in it from Mandhana is only 11 runs. You can imagine how dominant has Shafali been 
 
And Mandhana says I won't remain far behind as she comes down the case and drives this through Point and Cover-Point for four
 
Four more!! Shafali Verma is on another stage altogether as she went down on one knee and played it straight down the ground for a four. 13 from the over
7:05 AM

Live | India vs South Africa | CWC 2022 | Ind 45-0 | Over 08- Can't bowl short to Mandhana

 
And it is the gorgeous Miss Mandhana with her even more gorgeous shot as she gets a short ball and pulls this towards deep square leg for four to end the 8th over for India at 49/0
7:01 AM

Live | India vs South Africa | CWC 2022 | Ind 45-0 | Over 07- Great start for India

 
So India have slowed down in the past two overs relatively and as a result, have made only nine runs in the past three overs and with Shafali at the crease, she would not want the last four overs of the powerplay to go waste
 
Four!! As I was saying, she would not want to let the Powerplay overs go waste as she drives this past cover and mid-off for a four off Khaka. This has been a great start for India at 45-0 in the first seven overs
6:55 AM

Live | India vs South Africa | CWC 2022 | Ind 36-0 | Over 05-Four again from Shafali

 
Bang!! Shafali says I've had enough of a look at the line and length of yours and she backs herself to go over the top and gets yet another four for herself and India
 
And two more play and misses from Verma to finish the 5th at 36/0

Live | India vs South Africa | CWC 2022 | Ind 32-0 | Over 04-What a show from Shafali

6:48 AM

Live | India vs South Africa | CWC 2022 | Ind 30-0 | Over 03- Bang Bang goes Shafali

 
My word. What has she had for lunch today? Shafali Verma is just toying with Shambnim Ismail, one of the greatest bowlers in women's cricket. Pitched up and on the legs and Verma punishes it for four. Short and she cuts it for four towards third-man and after unsettling her on the first two balls, she shimmies down the ground and towards offside and plays the scoop past the fine leg for a four as well. 
 
On the next two balls, one of which was a free hit courtesy of a no-ball, she played towards the off side and collected two doubles. With two extras in the over, it became the most expensive over conceded by South Africa in this entire tournament as 17 runs were collected from it by Verma. 
6:43 AM

Live | India vs South Africa | CWC 2022 | Ind 13-0 | Over 02- Four for Smriti

 
Four!! That's cracking from Smriti Mandhana as she gets it in her zone and when it is pitched up, make sure that you have your fielders in the right position because she would drive and drive for four for sure. A wide to add to the four as India march to 13/0 after the first two overs 
6:40 AM

Live | India vs South Africa | CWC 2022 | Ind 8-0 | Over 01- Shafali starts it well

 
After the National Anthems were done and the knee was taken against racism by South Africa, Shafali Verma started with a cracking drive off the backfoot to Shambnim Ismail to open her account. There was a wide and double along with the single for Smriti Mandhana to open her account. In total, India scored 8 in the first over
