South Africa versus Australia Highlights of Today’s Semi-Final Women’s T20 World Cup Match With a polished display, a determined South Africa stunned the formidable Australia by eight wickets and advanced to Thursday’s Women’s T20 World Cup final in Dubai.
In the first semifinal, Beth Mooney top-scored with a 42-ball 44, while Australia, asked to bat first, were stopped at a modest 134 for five. While others contributed well, South Africa’s most successful bowler was Alalonga Khaka (2/24). Anneke Bosch led the way with an incredible knock of 74 not out in 48 balls, and South Africa finished the assignment with 16 balls remaining. At the top of the order, captain Laura Wolvaardt delivered a 42 off 37 balls.
In ten encounters, Australia had a commanding 9-1 record over South Africa. However, earlier this year, South Africa defeated Australia for the first time ever. They brought the confidence that they had won all three of their group stage matches in Dubai to surprise the favorites and advance to their second consecutive final. Australia’s 15-match winning streak in this competition also ended as a result of the outcome.
