Episode Details

South Africa stunned India in a heart-pounding T20 World Cup thriller, chasing down 159 with five balls to spare to secure a six-wicket win and keep their semifinal hopes alive. Marizanne Kapp stole the show, delivering a masterclass with bat and ball—taking two wickets for 27 runs before smashing an unbeaten 81 off just 45 balls, becoming the first player to score over 70 and take two wickets in a single World Cup game. Despite early setbacks and two dropped catches, Kapp anchored the chase with a blistering innings full of sixes and fours. South Africa’s bowlers, led by Kapp and Shabnim Ismail—who bowled the tournament’s fastest delivery at 122 km/h—held India’s batting lineup in check, with key wickets from Ayabonga Khaka and Nadine de Klerk. The win leaves both teams at four points, with South Africa set to face the Netherlands next. Kapp’s fearless performance under pressure turned the tide—and reminded everyone why she’s a World Cup legend in the making.
