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

Scotland become the first side to be knocked out of this World Cup, while South Africa inch a little closer to the semi-final spot. That is that from this game then. Sri Lanka will become the second team to join Scotland should they lose the game against India. The toss for that game is set to take place in 15 minutes. Do remember to hop tabs to catch the action from that all-important clash. See you there!!

Laura Wolvaardt | South African skipper: Can't ask for more, great first half and followed it up with some excellent bowling as well. We did speak about it (NRR) coming into this game, we just felt the best chance to win the game was put a lot of runs on the board. We wanted to be ruthless with the ball and show what we are about. Every game it has been different, nice to have so many bowling options and so many all-rounders. Massive game for us (talking about their next game against Bangladesh), we need a win after losing the last game and hopefully this game will give us the confidence to put up a good show.

Kathryn Bryce | Scotland skipper: Just the little moments, few chances and it proved costly at the end and lost a few wickets early and we were always behind the game. When you are in that sort of pressure, tough to execute. Great to share the field and knowledge with them (South Africa). It is always going to be tough (facing England), back there in Sharjah it will be different conditions, we will try and see what we can learn from the games and all the practice and see where we end up.

Marizanne Kapp | Player of the Match: Little bit nervous at the start of the match. Wicket was lot slower today, played a bit slower. The heat has been really tough, luckily the two day games are out of the way. Today was the slowest it has been. We have been working on a few options against spin and it came off. It's more a confidence thing for me. Focussing more on the basics, backing my strengths. Good total, would have liked it if we had pushed to 180-190 considering where we were but good learnings and we now face Bangladesh on this.

16:56 local, 12:56 GMT, 18:26 IST: Skipper Laura Wolvaardt had no hesitation in opting to bat when she won the toss. The idea was simple. She mentioned that her team's best chance to win this game was to put runs on the board. The batters didn't let her down. As many as three batters struck 40-plus scores and helped South Africa record the highest total in this edition. While they also managed to post the highest powerplay score of the tournament (60/0), skipper Wolvaardt went past Lizelle Lee to become the leading run-scorer for South Africa in T20Is. After posting 166, all the Proteas needed to do was back it up with a decent bowling performance and the bowlers stepped up big time by knocking Scotland out cheaply. Only 2 batters managed to get into double-digit scores and barring Kapp, every other bowler got a wicket under their name. Just the ideal game for South Africa before heading into their final league game against Bangladesh this Saturday. Stick around for post-match reactions...
