South Africa Women vs Thailand Women, 11th Match, Group B - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

South Africa might not have been at their best in the field but they achieved what they set about at the start of the day - to get a big win and keep a healthy NRR. What this win does is, it takes their NRR over that of England's and since group B is going see some stiff competition for the two semifinal spots, NRR will have a massive role to play. Anyway, that's all from the first game. The second one between England and Pakistan is coming up soon. Switch tabs and catch all the action. Goodbye from here..

Dane van Niekerk | South Africa captain: To be honest no (asked if they ticked all the boxes). The box that we wanted to tick was the win. I have to give credit to Lizelle for the century and Luus for putting up the partnership. Our fielding let us down a bit today. I don't think we were at our 100 percent. (The dropped catches) Is definitely a worry and we speak about it a lot. I don't mind one or two but when it happens consistently it becomes a worry. She (Chloe Tyron) is fine and gave me the thumbs up.

Sornnarin Tippoch | Thailand captain: All credit to Lizelle, she hit the ball hard but we also did not bowl the right line and length. It was a big score but we tried to go out there and play with courage.

Lizelle Lee | Player of the Match: It was one of those days where everything went my way. We struggled a little bit in the powerplay but me and Luus had a partnership and that set us up. It (her attacking approach) hasn't paid off in the last few games and happy that it came off today. It gives me confidence for the next few games. That (the partnership with Luus) was amazing, we haven't batted together for a while and it was good to bat together. We are taking every game as a semifinal and looking forward to the Pakistan game.

18:00 Local Time, 07:00 GMT, 12:30 IST: Thailand were never ever in the run chase. It was about how big the margin of defeat would be and it is a big one, 113 runs. Only two Thailand batters got into double digits and those two - Onnicha Kamchomphu and Chanida Sutthiruang - were the only ones showing any sort of intent. South Africa, apart from Wolvaardt's blinder, were sloppy in the field but they will take the win and go on top of the table in group B. Hang around for the presentations..

Ismail to Padunglerd, out Bowled!! South Africa win by 113 runs. Ismail comes back on for the final over and knocks the leg-stump out of the ground. Her pace is just too good for the batter. Padunglerd stands her ground and plays down the wrong line, the bat did not come down in time and the ball crashes into leg. Padunglerd b Ismail 7(5) [4s-1]

Ismail to Padunglerd, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

Shabnim Ismail [3.0-1-8-2] is back into the attack

Nadine de Klerk to Lateh, no run, fuller and outside off, Lateh drives it on the bounce to cover and set off for a single, sent back and she makes it back in time. Ismail's throw is not the best and that allowed Lateh to get back in

Run-out check sent upstairs. Lateh is already walking back. Is she short of her crease? Doesn't look like it. Not Out!

Nadine de Klerk to Lateh, no run, on a length and outside off, Lateh drives and is beaten on the outside edge

Nadine de Klerk to Padunglerd, 1 run, low full toss outside off, Padunglerd drives it to the left of mid-off

Nadine de Klerk to Padunglerd, FOUR, mid-off was brought in and Padunglerd took advantage. Full delivery around off, Padunglerd lofts it straight back over the bowler and collects her first boundary

Nadine de Klerk to Lateh, 1 run, loopy delivery outside off, Lateh drives it towards long-off

Nadine de Klerk to Lateh, no run, fuller and around off, Lateh drives it straight to cover

Free-hit coming up

Nadine de Klerk to Lateh, no ball, 2 runs, high full toss above the waist and Lateh slices it over backward point. She did well to make a connection as she was trying to evade the ball

Soraya Lateh, left handed bat, comes to the crease

Sune Luus to Laomi, out Caught by van Niekerk!! Luus ends her spell with another wicket. She has a good day in the office, fifty with the bat and a 3-fer with the ball. It was not all that short but Laomi still went for the ball, the top-edge ballooned up towards mid-wicket and van Niekerk runs back to take a good catch. Laomi c van Niekerk b Sune Luus 3(5)

Sune Luus to Laomi, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
