Australia stunned by South Africa: Women’s T20 World Cup semi-final – as it happened
Anneke Bosch’s brilliant unbeaten 74 from 48 balls steered South Africa to the Women’s T20 World Cup final as the holders, Australia, were outplayed
3rd over: Australia 18-2 (Mooney 4). Mooney seizes her first chance to be expansive, square-driving firmly to the long boundary for three off Kapp. The first boundary off the bat comes via a free hit Kapp presents to Georgia Wareham who swipes to the deep midwicket boundary for four. But other than that Kapp is finding a good testing length that keeps the batter honest, and then beats Wareham with an outswinger that prompts a rejected appeal for a catch behind, which is reviewed. And rightly so. Wareham’s gone, there was an edge. This is excellent from South Africa.
2nd over: Australia 10-1 (Mooney 1, Wareham 1). Seam at both ends, and it works. Khaka dismissing Harris with her first delivery. Australia punt Wareham up the order, who gets off the mark with a single. There’s definite swing in the air, and Mooney is watchful against a bowler who’s had success against left-handers in this tournament. This is, in this very early stage, a promising start for the Proteas.
