IND W vs SA W Highlights: It was a heartbreaking loss for the Indian Women's Cricket team as no ball on the penultimate ball of the match against the South Africa Women's team turned the game on its head as instead of being a wicket, it was no ball and a free hit on the next ball. Had it not been a no-ball, ISouth Africa would have needed three of the last ball with eight wickets down. But the foot was on the line and on the line is no-ball.
With two needed to two, Mignon du Preez, who was caught on the no-ball and was earlier dropped by Mandhana at long-on, took her team home on the last ball.

With this loss in their seventh and last league stage match of the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2022 campaign, the women in blue were eliminated as they ended up on six points, one below West Indies and their dreams of reaching the third straight semi-final in the last three ICC World events. was over at Hagley Oval, Christchurch.

Laura Wolvaardt started the South African chase in a great manner as she scored 80. Lara Goodall did well too and was out for 49 before India picked quick wickets and got the match tilted in their favour with 45 needed off 30 balls before Cloe Tryon and du Preez teed off and brought the target down to 18. Gayakwad and Deepti then stretched it to the last two balls with three needed of two and the rest as they say is history.
