Proteas had one strength in this WC, batting first and outbat their opponent and putting them out of the game convincingly but here comes the knockout and they are back to their usual stuff of choking.
Dream run and tons of potential but looks like their journey ends tonight and seems to be a one sided victory for Australia, only a miracle or some ridiculous bowling spell could save the SA.
Tabraiz Shamsi and kesev Maharaj struggling hard to save South Africa. But in the end, no one can say whether South Africa will be able to save the last. But everyone expects South Africa to win the semi-final and become the champion with India. But why fate dealt so cruelly with South Africa no one can say.
Australia won by 3 wickets against South Africa 215/7 in 2nd semi final, Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins won the match for Australia at last. Now It's an India vs Australia-Final of world cup. South Africa lose yet another semi-final. Travis Head played a excellent knock for Australia 62 off 48 balls. There was fight from both South Africa and Australia sides, match turning point when tabriz Shamsi took the big wicket of Maxwell but the runs on the board are very short 213 for South Africa to defend.
I would say that South Africa tried their best both in their batting and bowling to get out of the crisis but eventually failed in the end. They were 4 wickets quickly down at 24 runs only. The match could have been lost straight from there but David Miller fought back and made 101 runs and eventually helped South Africa some run to bowl with.
Then their (South Africans) bowlers did a great job, took the match to the 47th over, and made every run count for the Australian batsmen, There was no free scoring and it was a great game to watch, a low scoring match but still a thriller to watch. One team has to lose and one team has to win, South Africa was on the losing side but they fought really hard.
