Follow live text, in-play video clips and radio commentary as South Africa face New Zealand in the Women's T20 World Cup final in Dubai.
Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraOne violent shot too many. South Africa are delighted, they've broken the opening partnership that has proved to be so stubborn.
Suzie Bates launches another boundary past mid-on, where Tamzin Brits puts in a solid dive but can't gather the ball cleanly and it trickles over.This is a great start. What we are seeing from New Zealand is a team that wants to get on with it. New Zealand duo Suzie Bates and Sophie Devine both made their international debuts way back in 2006 and have lost two finals in that time. A triumph would be the perfect way to end such stellar careers.
It is New Zealand's first final since 2010, while South Africa made it last year so will be hoping for second time lucky.“We were going to have a bat anyway so it has worked out well for both teams. It looks like a great surface and we are ready to get out there and put some runs on the board.”
