It was the back leg but wasn't expecting that to be out.

Very good review by Nadine de Klerk and Luara Woolvardt.

Looking at the replay, umpire's call was probably South Africa's worst case scenario.
Halliday turning this into a good total.
The catching had been really good until that one

That's an excellent total New Zealand have set South Africa.

If New Zealand wanted to match South Africa's wides tally, they've made a great start.
Congrats to the Kiwi's, nor sure how they did it, but hey momentum should never be under estimated.....enjoy the spoils, at least cricket SA stayed true to form on the big stage once again.

From me it’s a good bye to Dubai. Saw 8 matches in all and UAE 
a pretty cool country to travel to.
I’m already looking forward to see when I can next come here.
And we get a firework show as a bye bye

Did I hear SA coach in match preview say, ‘we know something they don’t.’
Or words to that effect.
That’s the moment they lost the game
They never learn

Managed to play WI and SA in the finals. They would have expected to have to play Australia and England.

A few observations about the SA batting.
Brits - seems terrible against spin.
Sune Luus- doesn’t have enough power as a batter.
Derecksen will be a good player and needs time.
De Klerk- a bit like Luus doesn’t have the power.
When you get into 9, 10 and 11 you can generally finish the SA tail off.
Someone like Lizelle Lee (who got player of the match in the WBBL spring challenge yesterday) would have been a handy player to have for a tournament such as this.

Congrats to the Kiwis, and congrats to Devine and Bates, well deserved after 15-20 years of service to NZ Cricket.
Totally agree, and TBH 9 times out of ten they wouldn't of even made the final...but winners are grinners I guess, and kudos to them for making it count, when others couldn't. Good result for stalwarts in Bates and Devine I guess.
I reckon similar thing for us in 2021 when we won it in Dubai with the Mens.
Played Pakistan and New Zealand in the semi's and final.
Avoided England & India altogether.
England smashed us in the group just like the Aussies did to the Kiwis here.
The key was NZ thrashing India in the first group game both tournaments.
It meant India didnt progress to the finals.
They just haven't recovered from 1999 have they haha.
No matter the format or now gender.
They are paralyzed by a traumatic history in big matches.
Now the girls have lost 2 x finals in a row its only adding to the pressure & baggage for South Africa teams moving forward.
Peaked or planet's aligned? If it's the former then we can expect NZ to continue with their new found success....if the latter, then normal service will resume TBH. Besides AKerr, not sure who else delivers on the international stage for them consistently...but kudos on the win, something that can never be taken away from them.

A great day for NZ cricket, winning the Womens World Cup and beating India in a test match in India for the first time in 36 years.
Well, we're the better part of England.
