Commentary

So that is all that was in store for this contest. It was frustrating, but then there's only so much we can control now! You've been a very patient audience and we thank you wholeheartedly for tuning into our coverage of this contest. Do switch tabs and follow England's chase against Pakistan as it commences in a couple of minutes from now, and do make sure to keep yourselves updated with all the other cricketing action from across the globe right here on Sportskeeda. For now though, on behalf of my friends and co-commentators Prakhar, Pranav and Sudheer, this is Sooryanarayanan humbly reminding you to mask up and get yourselves vaccinated in case you haven't already. Bye-bye and take care!

What this result means is that the South Africa-India clash is a virtual knockout as far as the latter is concerned. A loss for India will eliminate them from the tournament while sending the West Indies through. This of course, is under the assumption that England beat Bangladesh and given the gulf between the two sides, it would be tough to expect anything otherwise. England are already dominating Pakistan as we speak, needing just 106 runs to seal a couple of points. You can catch our coverage of that contest here, by the way!

Stafanie Taylor (West Indies Captain): It's not the way we would have liked but it's something that we can't control. We were hoping that we will have a game. Our bowlers have been doing a fantastic job. South Africa is a team that Chinelle likes - whenever she plays them she takes wickets. That's something I had at the back of my mind. I tossed her the ball and she delivered. We do hope South Africa beat India for us to get into the semis. That's something we can't control but we hope it will happen. The first two games we played we were iffy a bit. I think travelling a lot put a dent in that - you don't get much recovery. That's something we talked about - you don't get much time to recover. It's never easy when you're travelling around but if we do get into the semis you just have to go out and play. Doesn't matter if you're injured or have a niggle, you just want it badly.

Sune Luus (South Africa Captain): Really excited and obviously really happy to be in the smifinals. With the rain today it wasn't ideal to wait and then go out there. We didn't have the best of starts. There's still a lot of batters who'd want to get some runs, Lizelle Lee at the top and our number 3 as well. Mignon played well today and is one of our most important batters. Hopefully she'll continue that form going forward. (Will Masablata Klaas be fit for the semis?) She should be fine. It's been a dream for us for so long but obviously we need to get through the semifinals. We'll be playing England or India and we need to play our best cricket to get through to the finals.

Match abandoned. South Africa and West Indies split points.

Well, we waited and waited for the game to begin and it finally did with the contest reduced to 26 overs-a-side. Alas though, the weather Gods have had the final say in this contest, meaning that both South Africa and West Indies share a point each. This does mean that South Africa have officially qualified for the semifinals.

West Indies won a crucial toss and inserted the South Africans in to bat. And their opening bowlers sure got off to a dream start with Chinelle Henry and Shamilia Connell cutting the top-order to size. With each of the top four dismissed in single digits, things went completely pear-shaped for the South Africans, casting a bigger shadow over the indifferent form of their batters.

In hindsight of course, given that the teams have split points, South Africa couldn't take Laura Wolvaardt's off day at a better time. Lizelle Lee continues to wait for an impactful score in the competition although Mignon du Preez seemed to fire her way into form as she resurrected the innings in the company of Marizanne Kapp.

A 39-run stand came to an abrupt halt thereafter - not because of a wicket, but because of the rain. Eventually, that is how things ended with du Preez batting on 38 and this has thrown a few equations around for teams looking to seal the final two semifinal spots.

Boooooo! The inevitable has happened - the game has been abandoned with the weather not relenting!

Fans of the Indian team will be itching for the game to resume soon. A washout here will mean that India's supremely high net run-rate is of no value - they will have to beat South Africa in their final encounter to qualify!

And the rain is back! The two umpires come together. They look upward and have a quick word. They feel the rain has picked up steam and they take the players off and call the covers back. More covers are being pressed into action.

10.5 Hayley Matthews to Mignon du Preez, good length delivery on off stump. du Preez dabs the ball down to third-man as du Preez and Kapp run hard for three runs.

10.4 Hayley Matthews to Mignon du Preez, FOUR! THREE IN A ROW! Tossed up ball wide of off stump. du Preez punches the ball through the covers and gets the third boundary of the over.

10.3 Hayley Matthews to Mignon du Preez, FOUR MORE! Short ball wide of off stump. du Preez cuts the ball wide of first slip and sends it down to third-man for another boundary.

10.2 Hayley Matthews to Mignon du Preez, FOUR! Full toss on off stump. du Preez drives the ball past a diving Henry at mid-on and the ball rolls down to long-on for a boundary.

10.1 Hayley Matthews to Mignon du Preez, good length delivery on off stump. du Preez goes back in the crease and blocks the ball.

Hayley Matthews, Right Arm Off Break, to bowl the next over.
