DRINKS BREAK. Perfect position for South Africa Women to be in. They are going along at nearly 7-and-a-half runs per over and have lost just the solitary wicket. The required run rate is just around a run-a-ball and it does look like the Protea Fire is on track to stop the winning streak of the Kangaroos. Australia are clearly under pressure but it is not like they are bowling too badly. Unfortunately for them, the ball is not doing as much as it did in the first innings and it is increasingly looking like a game which was won at the toss. One can sense some nervousness and frustration in the Aussie camp now and the South Africans might just go for broke now, to romp into their second successive World Cup final. Megan Schutt is back on. 2-0-14-0 so far.
