Deepti Sharma was the defining force, delivering an all-round impact with an unbeaten 36 at the top end of the innings and then taking five wickets to swing the contest back in India\u2019s favour.<\/p>\n<h2>How the match unfolded<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>India were sent in to bat first and got off to a difficult start, with Shafali Verma departing early, followed soon after by Anushka Sharma.<\/li>\n<li>At 47\/2, the visitors needed steadiness, and Jemimah Rodrigues responded with a calm, well-judged innings of 43.<\/li>\n<li>Rodrigues then helped build a key stand with India captain Harmanpreet Kaur (22), guiding the team past the 100-run mark.<\/li>\n<li>Just when India appeared set to push further, wickets fell in quick succession and they slipped to 122\/5.<\/li>\n<li>Deepti Sharma and Richa Ghosh (34* ) took charge in the closing overs, adding 65 runs for the sixth wicket to lift the innings.<\/li>\n<li>India finished on a competitive 185\/5 in their 20 overs.<\/li>\n<li>South Africa made a confident start to the chase, with Sune Luus scoring 40 and Tazmin Brits contributing 30 to keep the momentum moving.<\/li>\n<li>For stretches of the chase, the hosts looked comfortable with the required run rate under control.<\/li>\n<li>However, Deepti struck at crucial moments, removing key batters and disrupting partnerships to force the pressure back onto South Africa.<\/li>\n<li>Her bowling spell of 5\/19 dramatically altered the game\u2019s direction, helping contain the chase.<\/li>\n<li>With support from the rest of the bowling unit, South Africa were limited to 171\/9.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Even though South Africa still lead the series 3-1, India\u2019s win keeps the contest alive and gives them renewed confidence ahead of the last match.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India pulled off a spirited comeback to defeat South Africa by 14 runs in the fourth Women\u2019s T20I in Johannesburg, preventing a series sweep.
