Dubai: In one of the biggest upsets of the Women’s T20 World Cup, South Africa upset defending champions Australia to reach the final. Australia, who batted first, scored 134 runs for the loss of five wickets in 20 overs, while South Africa reached the target with the loss of two wickets in 17.2 overs. Anneke Bosch was the architect of South Africa’s win, who remained unbeaten on 74 runs off 48 balls. Captain Laura Volward scored 42 runs off 37 balls.
The Aussies won the hat-trick by beating South Africa in the final of the 2023 World Cup. South Africa’s victory was sweet revenge for the defeat that day. This is South Africa’s second win in women’s T20 cricket against Australia in 11 matches and first win in the Women’s T20 World Cup. The Aussies have won six of the seven Women’s T20 World Cups held since 2009, losing just once in the final. In the last three World Cups held (2018, 2020, 2023), Australia has been the champion in 2010, 2012 and 2014.

Batting first after losing the toss, the Aussies lost opener Grace Harris (3). Georgia Wareham (5) also lost but Beth Mooney and skipper Tahila McGrath led them to a better score. Ellis Perry (31 off 23 balls) and Lichfield (16* off 9 balls) attacked in the final overs to reach 134 runs.
In reply, opener Tasmin Britts (15) was lost in the powerplay, but captain Laura Volward and Anneke Bosch put on a 96-run partnership for the second wicket to take South Africa further closer to victory. Bosh and Cole Tyrone (1) combined to give South Africa a memorable win despite Volward’s dismissal close to victory. South Africa will face West Indies and New Zealand in the final on the 20th tomorrow.
