WATCH | SA star Brits on stunning catch(es): 'The ball kept following me'

Proteas opener Tazmin Brits admits Friday was just her day as she produced a match-winning performance to take the Proteas to a historic World Cup final.

Defending 164 in front of a roaring crowd of 7 547, Danni Wyatt and Sophia Dunkley's 50 partnership took only 28 balls as everything seemed in favour of England.

While Brits' first catch was steady to remove Dunkley (28), two balls later Brits took a screamer in an explosive Shabnim Ismail over. 

Brits dived to take a one-handed catch, sending Alice Capsey back to the hutch for a duck.

"I don't know what happened there. My legs are so tired after the batting," joked Brits in the press conference after SA's win.

"I just reacted and it stuck. And once they started moving me, everywhere, the ball kept following me.
