Australia vs South Africa highlights, Women's T20 World Cup 2024 Semi-Final: Anneke Bosch shines as South Africa beat Australia by 8 wickets to enter final

Phoebe Litchfield walks in next at number 6, replacing Beth Mooney.

Direct hit! Is Mooney short? Referred upstairs and the replay shows that the bat is in the air! What a massive wicket!

Marizanne Kapp to Beth Mooney, OUT! Beth Mooney is run out and even South Africa are surprised! It seemed like a non-event ball. Mooney came down the track and Kapp fired it on a fuller length, at the stumps, Because Beth was down the track, she yorked herself. The ball dribbled away to the off side and she set off for a single. Kapp quickly got across, picked the ball and had a shy at the striker's end. Mooney turned back and dived back in. The ball hit the stumps but there was no excitement amongst the Proteas, just a polite appeal. But the square leg umpire takes it upstairs and replays confirm that when Mooney dived, the bat got lifted in the air and at that time, the ball hit the stumps! End of a fighting knock of 44 (42) from Beth Mooney, Australia Women are limping at 99/4 after 16.5 overs.

Marizanne Kapp to Beth Mooney, A slower ball, on a length, outside off, coming in with the angle from around the wicket. Mooney jumps down the track and swings it over the bowler, down the ground. By the time Chloe Tryon can get across to her right from long on, two runs are taken.

LBW review against Mooney now. The only question is - did that pitch outside leg? Yes. Open and shut case.

Chloe Tryon to Beth Mooney, South Africa lose a review. A bit surprised to see their desperation, given the state of affairs. Maybe, they want to get rid of Beth Mooney as quickly as possible, to get rid of all the thoughts coming to their mind from the 2023 World Cup final. Very full, around leg, Mooney looked to sweep but missed and the ball went off her pads to short fine leg. The batters take a single as Tryon and Jafta appeal for LBW.

DRINKS BREAK. Attritional stuff so far. South Africa Women have been simply superb with the ball so far, giving nothing, absolutely nothing to Australia Women. Just 4 boundaries have come in these 10 overs and none of them has cleared the ropes yet. The pitch seems to be a bit on the slower side but there is plenty of turn and bounce. The Protea Women have followed a simple principle - stick to the basics. No room, no freebies and Australia, despite their experience have not been able to wriggle off the pressure. At 53/2 at the halfway mark, they seem to be heading towards a really underpar total. One does expect them to launch a counterattack after this break, and it could lead to a flurry - of wickets or boundaries, only time will tell. As many as 31 dots have been bowled in these 60 balls.

Chloe Tryon to Tahlia McGrath, Outside off, punched through the covers for a couple.
