South Africa produce a stunning performance to knock Australia out of the Women's T20 World Cup in the semi-finals.
Six-time winners Australia suffered a shock semi-final exit from the T20 World Cup as South Africa raced to an emphatic eight-wicket win in Dubai.
Australia paid the price for stuttering in the middle overs, with the run-rate rarely creeping over a run a ball as captain Tahlia McGrath trudged to 27 from 33. The second semi-final takes place between New Zealand and West Indies at Sharjah on Friday, meaning Sunday's final will be the first in either white-ball format without Australia or England involved.
In fact, they were timid, only hitting 11 boundaries in total. That is despite the enviable batting depth that they possess which often results in them playing with much more freedom than other teams who tend to be protecting fragile, inexperienced middle orders.
