Kagiso Rabada provided the breakthrough by bowling it on a good length, provoking Marsh to go for the drive. Although he got trapped, a mistimed shot led to the ball not travelling as much as Marsh had wanted. As a result, he found Rassie standing on the cover point, stunning the crowd with his catch.
Australia nearing another CWC final date
Following an inning of a lifetime by David Miller, who smashed his maiden World Cup knockout hundred (101 off 116 balls), helping South Africa post 212 in the first innings, Australia raced towards the halfway mark inside the 20th over.
Travis Head and David Warner got Australia off to a flying start, adding 60 for the first wicket in just six overs. Markram got introduced into the attack in the next over and broke the partnership by removing Warner clean bowled on 29, having hit four sixes and a four during his brief stay.
Marsh was the next one to follow, getting out on a duck.
Head kept the aggressive stroke play going from one end, completing his maiden CWC semis fifty. Although he, alongside Smith, survived close chances, with their catches getting dropped, Keshav Maharaj bowled a Jaffa to tear into Travis’ timbers on 62.
Meanwhile, during the first innings, Van der Dussen scored just six off 31 balls before edging one to the slip cordon off Josh Hazlewood.
