Though Kapp lost Brits and Nadine De Klerk along the way, she kept the pressure on India by going for her shots.<\/p>\n

With South Africa needing 18 runs to win in the last two overs, she launched into two sixes against Deepti Sharma, the joint-highest wicket-taker in women’s international cricket, and knocked off 16 runs in the over.<\/p>\n

Kapp watched from the non-striker’s end as Chloe Tyron wrapped up victory with a thick edge that ran down for four. Even as the South African dug out erupted in celebration an emotional Kapp sunk to a knee, the adrenaline leaving her body after the match-winning heroics.<\/p>\n

South Africa are well and truly back in the race to the semi-finals as they climbed to No. 3 in Group A, while India maintained second place on the leaderboard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
