South Africa took revenge on Australia:

South Africa has taken revenge from the Kangaroo team for the defeat in the last World Cup final by defeating Australia in the semi-final match today. In the semi-final match, the South African team looked in great rhythm from the beginning. The team first stopped the Kangaroo team at 134 runs. After this, the target was achieved very easily by losing only 2 wickets.

Anneke Bosch’s storm swept the Aussies:

Anneke Bosch performed brilliantly with the bat for South Africa and played a stormy half-century innings of 74 runs. Anneke faced 48 balls in his innings in which he hit 8 fours and 1 six. Apart from Anneke, captain Laura Wolvaardt also played a well-planned innings with the bat. Laura scored 42 runs in 37 balls with the help of 3 fours and 1 six in the match. South Africa, which came out to chase the target, kept the Aussie bowlers under control from the beginning. They did not give the Aussies a single chance to make a comeback. The African team is now just one step away from a historic title win. The team would like their dream to come true this time and the South African team to win the T20 World Cup title for the first time.
