No reserve days for World Cup semi Finals … What a shambles … !! #T20WorldCup

England could have effected a run out at the non strikers end, with a game on the line, and might have gotten to play a semi. South Africa could have retired Luus and gotten Tryon in earlier. Australia could have tactically dropped Luus and ensured Tryon was in the dug out.

RESULT! Despite a fighting knock from Wolvaardt (41*) it was not enough as Australia claim a 5-wicket win and their place in the #T20WorldCup  final on Sunday.

South Africa fall agonisingly 5 runs short of the 98-run target.#SAvAUS #AlwaysRising  #T20WorldCup pic.twitter.com/FPlDH9EZOJ
