South Africa vs Australia Semi-Final LIVE SCORE | World Cup 2023 Updates: Another dropped chance

 

Over Summary-0 0 0 0 1 1; AUS 118-3 after 18 overs

Marnus Labuschagne (7), Steven Smith (11); Tabraiz Shamsi 3-0-15-0

 

That would be dropped catch number four for South Africa as Quinton de Kock is unable to hang on to an edge from Smith’s bat and once again the bowler is Shamsi.

South Africa vs Australia Semi-Final LIVE SCORE | World Cup 2023 Updates: Umpire’s call saves Labuschagne

 

Over Summary-Wd 0 0 2 0 0 Wd 1; AUS 114-3 after 16 overs

Marnus Labuschagne (5), Steven Smith (9); Tabraiz Shamsi 2-0-13-0

 

How things change. It was Shamis against Haris Rauf during Pakistan vs South Africa and the umpire’s call on hitting the wickets was not out and here the umpire’s call on impact is not out. The rub of the green not going Shamsi’s way this time around.

South Africa vs Australia Semi-Final LIVE SCORE | World Cup 2023 Updates: Maharaj gets Head

 

What a delivery from the world's number-one ODI bowler to clean up Head who had already used up his three lives. Can this boost the Proteas to fight it out once again?

South Africa vs Australia Semi-Final LIVE SCORE | World Cup 2023 Updates: Two chances goes begging

 

Tabraiz Shamsi has bowled brilliantly, but two chances that he created, have not been taken by Temba Bavuma and Heinrich Klaasen at short square leg and in the slip. Head has now three dropped catches which have helped him still stay at the crease.

South Africa vs Australia Semi-Final LIVE SCORE | World Cup 2023 Updates: Fifty for Head

 

Travis Head gets to a fifty even as he fights with fire and takes risks at every delivery. It has come in just 40-balls and he has nearly killed the game here.

South Africa vs Australia Semi-Final LIVE SCORE | World Cup 2023 Updates: Head dropped

 

That chance should have been taken. You can’t miss catches and Reeza Hendricks, the substitute fielder has missed one. It was not a very tough catch and should have been taken easily. And just after that, Head hist one straight and Coetzee gets a hand to it. Had that stuck, it would have been a wicket as well.

South Africa vs Australia Semi-Final LIVE SCORE | World Cup 2023 Updates: Proteas post 212

 

In the second semifinal of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, South Africa were bowled out for 212 in 49.4 overs by Australia at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. At one point, the Proteas were reduced to 24/4 after back-to-back breakthroughs from Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Strac. However, David Miller hit a fantastic century to take the team to 212/10 in 49.4 overs.  For the Aussies, Mitchell Starc was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3/34 in his 10 overs. 

 

Earlier captain Temba Bavuma won the toss and decided to bat first. Rain threat looms over the SA vs AUS semifinal as showers are predicted throughout the day in Kolkata, according to the Indian metrological department. Both teams made two changes each in their side from their last league matches. While South Africa brought in Marco Jansen and Tabraiz Shamsi in place of Andile Phehlukwayo and Lungi Ngidi, Australia brought in Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Starc in their playing 11 in places of Marcus Stoinis and Sean Abbott.

South Africa vs Australia Semi-Final LIVE SCORE | World Cup 2023 Updates: Proteas all-out

 

South Africa have been bowled out for 212 in 49.4 overs. It is one less than what Australia scpored in the 1999 semi-final and managed to get a tie out of that game. Rabada is the last wicket to fall as he was caught brilliantly by Glenn Maxwell off the bowling of Pat Cummins.

South Africa vs Australia Semi-Final LIVE SCORE | World Cup 2023 Updates: Miller out after century

 

With 17 balls to go, this wicket of Miller would put a difference of at least 30 runs to the South African total. He could have just played easy and batted out the whole over. But it is not to be as Cummins gets him courtesy of a well-judged catch by Head at deep square leg.

South Africa vs Australia Semi-Final LIVE SCORE | World Cup 2023 Updates: Century for Miller

 

David Miller hits the century, which is one of the best centuries ever given the situation in which he came in and how he has gotten his team beyond 200 to give them a chance to fight.

South Africa vs Australia Semi-Final LIVE SCORE | World Cup 2023 Updates: Coetzee out, should have reviewed

 

If there is ever a doubt, a batter, who is the last recognised for his team, should always review a call. But Coetzee doesn’t do that and he is given caught behind for a ball that nicked off his shoulder and not the gloves.
