ICC Women's World Cup, India Women vs South Africa Women, Live Updates: After Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana's fifties, skipper Mithali Raj joined the club and scored a brilliant half-century vs South Africa before departing for 68 runs. Indian openers Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana got off to a solid start as they added 91 runs for the first wicket in 15 overs before the former was run-out for 53. Yastika Bhatia soon followed as she was dismissed for 2 runs as India went two wickets down in quick succession. However, Mandhana continued to pile on the runs to complete her 22nd ODI half-century and partnered well with skipper Mithali Raj before being dismissed to a spectacular catch by Chloe Tryon for 71 runs. Earlier, India opted to bat against South Africa at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch in a crucial encounter for both teams. Two changes each for India and South Africa in their respective final XIs. Meghna Singh came in for Jhulan Goswami while Deepti Sharma in for Punam Yadav and for South Africa, Lara Goodall came in for Tazmin Brits while Masabata Klaas is in for Tumi Sekhukhune. While South Africa have already qualified, India need to win -- or for the match to be washed out -- to make it to the final four of the World Cup. If they lose, they will need England to lose to Bangladesh by a worse margin so they drop below the Mithali Raj-led team on Net Run Rate. (LIVE SCORECARD)
Mithali Raj at the toss: "We'll have a bat. Yesterday's match was played on the same track. Spinners will get some assistance in the second innings. It's a good wicket to bat when the sun is out. We have to be composed and play our best cricket. We have two changes. Meghna Singh comes in for Jhulan, Deepti in for Punam."

Sune Luus at the toss: "We's have batted first but I don't think the wicket will change too much. It's still a WC match. We have to hit our straps and take the confidence into the semifinals. It's not just a game we can relax. We want to play our best cricket. We've made two changes. Lara Goodall comes in for Tazmin Brits and Masabata Klaas comes in for Tumi Sekhukhune."
