ICC World Cup 2023: Australia (215/7) defeat South Africa (212 all out) by 3 wickets to reach the finals of ICC World Cup 2023

[globetrotter]

Cmon SA finish it now

 

[Devadwal]

Too late

 

[Ahmed216]

Alost their bowlers do not attack the stumps by pitching 3/4 lengths. How will you create chances?

Coetzee is doing that now

 

[Ab Fan]

As I said, SA will not go down without producing a thriller. This is gonna go last ball.

South African cricket at its peak.

 

[7sins]

Coetzee bowling fire but can rabada do the same from the other end ?

 

[oatmeal]

That looked out. But might be pitching outside

 

[RehanG]

i said before its 230-240 pitch.

Is just they gave away alot in the beginning.

 

[Rana]

Useless umpire always looking to favour Australia

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Looks out to me, maybe umpires call on pitching

 

[Sunzi]

Poor review.

 

[oatmeal]

Looks pitched outside leg

 

[Buffet]

SA was short 40 runs.

 

[IndoorCricket]

Waste of review. That might come back to bite them.

 

[kingusama92]

Pure from Coetzee.

 

[Smbhayi]

All review burned..

 

[emranabbas]

These are rubbish rules doesn't matter if it was pitching outside it was hitting the wickets

 

[sweep_shot]

That didn't look out. I expected it to be umpire's call or pitched outside leg.

Poor review.

 

[oatmeal]

Spray gun Jansen will give the runs in one over

 

[Devadwal]

SA was short 40 runs.

Score was defendable but Bavuma captaincy and dropped catches cost the game for South Africa

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Calm down lads! Simmer down. 1999 repeat????

 

[kingusama92]

Spinner on.

Let's see what Markram can do.

 

[Ab Fan]

SA was short 40 runs.

They recovered well, all thanks to Sir David Miller

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Useless batters let down this : young quick bowler.

 

[Buffet]

Score was defendable but Bavuma captaincy and dropped catches cost the game for South Africa

Agreed. But SA was still short 40-50 runs. with 210 kind of score, teams are likely to get it even if they collapse. With 260 it's not so easy even if you drop 1-2 catches.

 

[globetrotter]

Coetzee great bowling

 

[IndoorCricket]

Free singles

 

[Ali Active]

this is fantastic game of cricket

 

[JattMaula]

As I said, SA will not go down without producing a thriller. This is gonna go last ball.

South African cricket at its peak.

Dare I say one minute up, one minute down?

 

[kingusama92]

18 needed.

Yet still anyone's game.

 

[Devadwal]

Just short

 

[OMB]

Staffers have no one to blame but poor captaincy.
senseless batting and totally poor bowling changes.
They could have this match in the bag were it not for bavuma

 

[jnaveen1980]

Classic match is developing. Just 2 more wickets needed to created Edgbaston magic. Who is for super over

 

[FearlessRoar]

One of the epic Semi final

 

[Markhor]

this is fantastic game of cricket

Definitely more enjoyable than seeing bowlers treated like cannon fodder. Every run hard earned.

 

[Devadwal]

Bring short leg

 

[jnaveen1980]

Chasing is insanely difficult.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Unbelievable fight from South African bowlers

 

[Nikhil_cric]

150 kph short ball rocks Cummins.

 

[Ali Active]

any one up for super over??!

 

[Sunzi]

Wonder what Win predictors saying

 

[mominsaigol]

Wonder what Win predictors saying

It still says 95% for Australia

 

[Ahmed216]

Some poor shots from both sides. This was 260-270 run pitch

 

[jnaveen1980]

Unbelievable fight from South African bowlers

Rabada wa sbowling short of a length, length balls and gave the initiative away

 

[GLORY OF '92]

World class fast bowling. Just tremendous

 

[Sunzi]

Vital boundary

 

[kingusama92]

Oh no a boundary

 

[Devadwal]

Four and game over.

 

[globetrotter]

Bavuma should bowl now

 

[sweep_shot]

Four.

14 to win.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Man, that's taken a lot of Coetzee. Those were not length balls at 150. He was pounding the hell out of that pitch.

 

[Ali Active]

oh no

 

[Ab Fan]

One of the epic Semi final

1992 - SA vs Eng
1999 - SA vs Aus
2015 - SA vs NZ
2023 - SA vs Aus

SA always produces epic games.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If CUmmins does this again this will be third time. First in that famous test against England he put together a partnership with Lyon and won an impossible game. Then partnership with Maxie. Today partnership with his bowling partner.

 

[kingusama92]

That was a clutch shot from Cummins against serious pace

 

[Ali Active]

cumminss has a defense of top test batter

 

[sindhiboy]

yea, cummins is not gonna let saffers win this

nonetheless, this is a brilliant comeback from south africa, few more runs and some common sense from bavuma was needed tho

 

[Devadwal]

Please Bowl a slower Yorker

 

[Ali Active]

The world needs a south africa win we have seen too many times aus winning

 

[Champ_Pal]

2 fluke edges and the match is over.

 

[Ahmed216]

1992 - SA vs Eng
1999 - SA vs Aus
2015 - SA vs NZ
2023 - SA vs Aus

SA always produces epic games.

And heartbreaks

 

[Sunzi]

No ball. Free hit.

 

[kingusama92]

Coetzee is going to be a special bowler in the next 2-3 years.

 

[Ali Active]

game over?? i think

 

[Devadwal]

No ball??

 

[jnaveen1980]

cumminss has a defense of top test batter

One of the best bastman with common sense. He and hazlewood almost pulled off a test win against India in 4th innings. They just fell short

 

[FearlessRoar]

Bavuma should bowl now

He is the most timid captain i have ever seen

 

[kingusama92]

Ouch that no ball is another big blow for SA

 

[sweep_shot]

200 is up.

No-ball. Free hit.

 

[7sins]

Common aussies 12 more

 

[Devadwal]

bowled on free hit

 

[FearlessRoar]

It's over for South Africa

 

[Ali Active]

they need rabada now to go for yorkers

 

[Smbhayi]

Great keeping..

 

[Devadwal]

Where is rabada? Is he injured?

 

[FearlessRoar]

Where is rabada? Is he injured?

No

 

[jnaveen1980]

Where have i seen a match like this before with so many twists?

 

[kingusama92]

Need a wicket within the next 3-5 runs.

 

[Asif321]

Bavuma did it . Lost the plot completely. 60/0 in 6 overs no way feeding them pace

 

[Ab Fan]

Give an over to Rabada. He will create last ray of hope inshallah.

 

[Sunzi]

Catch chance, just short!
