The match began with Quinton de Kock looking dangerous, taking 7 runs off Matt Henry’s opening over, including the first four and six of the match. However, the introduction of Cole McConchie in the second over proved decisive. In a stunning display of spin bowling, McConchie dismissed both QDK (1.3 overs) and Rickleton (1.4 overs) on consecutive deliveries. Despite conceding two boundaries in his second over, McConchie’s double-strike left SA reeling.

When India took the field in Navi Mumbai in pursuit of a world record target of 339 against the Seven-time champions as well as the defending champions, all eyes were set on Smriti, Harmanpreet and Richa. But for ardent followers of the women’s game, this Jemimah Magic would not come as a surprise. Her agility on the field is a testament to her agile mind that works like a computer in a run chase. Jemimah lacks physicality and strength.
