South Africa into last four after thrilling win vs India

South Africa beat India by three wickets in a thrilling finale to set up a semi-final showdown with England at the Women's Cricket World Cup. 

Needing one run off the final ball of the innings, Mignon du Preez punished a full ball through mid-wicket to lift the Proteas to their target of 275 and finish on an unbeaten 52.

It capped a dramatic finish that had seen India denied a wicket on what looked to be the penultimate delivery when Du Preez failed to clear the safe hands of Harmanpreet Kaur, only for a close front-foot no-ball to be called against Deepti Sharma.

South Africa levelled the score with the subsequent free hit, before Du Preez finished things off to end India's World Cup campaign. They will now face England in the semi-finals at 2pm UK time on Thursday, while undefeated Australia take on West Indies.

India won the toss and elected to bat, with Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma offering up a 91-run first-wicket stand before the latter was run out for 53.
