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.
The South African bowlers made the match competitive despite giving away a target of just 213 runs. However, Australian batsmen batted very well in the first 10 overs. He scored 74 runs in the first 10 overs. Travis Head's innings of 62 off 48 balls kept Australia in control of the match. However, the match became competitive due to the poor performance of the middle order. I expected a more responsible performance from the Australian batsmen. With such a performance, Australia will not be able to do well against India in the final match. To do well in the final, Australia's batsmen need to do better. India is a very strong team. If the batsmen perform so erratically against India, the attempt will be by a big margin to the Australian team.
I think Turning Points for Spinners Shamsi crucial dismissals of Australian bastmen including Glenn Maxwell for a duck. South Africa Spinners Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi 2-42 in a low scoring game and fast bowlers Coetzee 2 for 47 , causing trouble for Australia middle order bastmen. South Africa's early struggles, recording their lowest 10-over score in 15 years, but the Miller brilliant century, reached the South Africa total to 212. Australia top class bowler performance Wickets for Mitchell Starc 3-34 and Josh Hazlewood 2-12.
