    What a thriller that was to conclude the second week of the tournament!

    Marizanne Kapp's knock was the highlight, and if you missed any of it, here's Mike Peter's match report from Old Trafford.

    With a day off tomorrow, we'll be back on Tuesday when New Zealand play Scotland and Sri Lanka take on Ireland at Bristol before Australia face Pakistan at Headingley.

    But there's plenty of other cricket content to keep you entertained in the meantime:

  2. 'Kapp is the biggest big-game player'published at 18:10 BST

    South Africa's Laura Wolvaardt: "What a finish. What a game. We were very stressed on the bench. To win from the position we were was incredible and it was probably one of the best knocks i've seen under pressure and to do it against the team we lost the final too was pretty special.

    "She is probably the biggest big-match player I've ever seen. I'm really glad she's on my team. Whenever something is on the line or we're playing in a World Cup she finds a way. She said she didn't feel great today so I hope she doesn't feel great every game! She just has that competitive nature and it brings out the best in her.

    "We didn't get off to the best start - we would have liked to get ahead of it early. We left too much for the backend and it took something special. We just need to get better at getting off strike in the powerplay if we can't hit boundaries."

  3. 'You can't give a player like Kapp two chances'published at 18:07 BST

    India captain Harmanpreet Kaur: "We had a couple of chances but we weren't able to take them. Still, we have two matches to go and we need to stay positive.

    "Yes, I backed our bowlers at halfway. Our spinners bowled brilliantly but unfortunately the other bowlers didn't support them as well.

    "We always talk about taking our catches at this level but unfortunately it didn't happen for us today. We've got a couple of days in between games to give us some time to think about what we will do for the next game.

    "Marizanne Kapp was fearless and she took the game away from us. At this level, if you give a player like that two chances, it is crucial.

    "We've got to stay positive and strong, we need to focus on the coming games and I will give my team-mates that positivity."

  4. 'So proud of the team'published at 18:03 BST

    Player of the match Marizanne Kapp: "It was a tough game. It always is against India. I am very proud of the team for coming back in this game the way we did.

    "I was just praying to be honest. I seem to do a little bit better when I'm in earlier. I really struggled the first 10-15 balls and then I eventually got my timing. The partnership with Tazmin [Brits] set it up beautifully.

    "It is a tough place to bat actually because you can't let it get away from you too far but you can't lose wickets. We said if we don't let it get past 10 runs an over, we've got the batters at the end that can clear the boundaries.

    "This wicket was a little bit flat with the ball. You are always nervous when you come up against this India team but the way we got it back with the ball probably won us the game."

    In terms of what that result means for the group, it's going to be a tense finish.

    South Africa have an easier run, they have got the Netherlands and Bangladesh left to play while India have got Australia in their final match which is likely to be the deciding encounter.

    There is something in South Africa. There just seems to be a level of determination that comes out of them when they need it most.

    We seem to be a seeing a steely and deep sense of determination from them.

    That is a statement win for South Africa.

    Thrashed by Australia in their opener, it always looked likely that it was going to come down to either them or India for the second qualifying spot in such a tough group.

    Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits were going nowhere in the powerplay and at the halfway mark, South Africa had just 59 on the board and needed to go at 10 an over for the remainder.

    Marizanne Kapp ensured that they won it with five balls to spare. Unreal.

    Marizanne Kapp has single-handedly won this game for South Africa.

    The partnership of 96 with Tazmin Brits has won them the game. Brits was going nowhere when Kapp came to the crease and she's guided her brilliantly.

    To be honest, I can't quite believe we've seen that.

    What a finish. Marizanne Kapp, take a bow.

    South Africa's star all-rounder finishes unbeaten on 81 off 45 balls and sinks to her knees in relief, exhaustion and joy as Chloe Tryon edges the winning runs past the keeper for four.

    Need 2 off 6 balls

    Marizanne Kapp, what a player. This has been majestic.

    Harmanpreet Kaur took the gamble of bowling Deepti Sharma the 19th over - and rightly, I'd say - but it hasn't paid off. Kapp launches another six over the leg side and that has all-but confirmed South Africa's win.

    One more.

    Is that the game?!

    Marizanne Kapp and her nerves of steel. She slog sweeps Deepti Sharma over the ropes.

    And another, Kapp back on strike on 68.

    She was dropped on 25 and 65, remember.

    Marizanne Kapp drags a single out to deep square.

    That's a good result for India.

    That was a great delivery. She held her nerve because Nadine de Klerk came across her stumps to target the leg side but still went for the stumps.

    It twists again!

    Nadine de Klerk is bowled as she misses a sweep, and neither side is refusing to give up here.

    South Africa need 22 off 13 balls.

    That is brutal striking.
