The game belonged to South African women completely , though they will repent many missed chances. Ukrainian women lacked imagination and were slack in most of their attacks. That gave SA ample time to fall back to defend, and thus, Ukraine never had a chance. That will be all in this match. We will back in just a bit at 1800 hrs IST with the Women match between India v Canada.
