Christ, they cut that a bit fine.

Brilliant from Wilson and Gunn who had to clean up the mess. Taylor probably the MVP for making it look easy.

England will need to play better in the final, they got 25 extras from the South Africans in a chase of 219, without those they'd have thrown it away.

Man, SA aren't that good at holding up under pressure. Lots of unprofessional behaviour on the field.

England would be thinking, that should never have been this close.

South Africa clearly showed lack of experience at the big stage, extras, not too compact in the field, van Niekerk was nowhere close to being as good she was in the group stage with the ball which set them back.

Unprofessional is the wrong word. Bad temperament. Bad bowling. Point fielder was excellent though.

Edit: Eh. Went over the top. Sometimes it's difficult to know what to say because the standard is lower than the men's game. They weren't bad but some of the spin bowling and full tosses were disappointing.

Suddenly the boundaries start.

Looks easy from here, he said with a completely straight face

We got away with it, but I swear you do this every single time

 

[Howe_zat]

I have a gift. Fortunately for us I have sworn never to use it for evil.

My opinion is that England’s chances of winning the final depend largely on whether they are playing Australia (who are better than them) or India (who are not).

Given that in the group stages they lost to India and beat Australia, my opinion is probably bollocks.

 

[WindieWeathers]

Would be harsh to use the "C" word in relation to the Sa women too?

How the skipper contrived to continue with pace towards the end when spin done most of the damage is beyond me tbh.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I reckon 240 is enough to defend against the Aussies

Got dropped the previous ball, Indian skipper, Raj falls to a straighter one from the leggie Beams.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Harmanpreet Kaur is going full on beast mode now.

An Indian batsman doing that, where have I heard that before...

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

She wanted to get back on strike or something and was jealous

 

[Pratters]

So proud of the Indian eves.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

She has a terrific backlift

 

[Cabinet96]

What an absurd innings.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Where are the boundary riders?

 

[ajdude]

villani going at 39s there for a second

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Anything less than 270 is chasable
