DUBAI: With a stunning 74 not out from Anneke Bosch, South Africa defeated defending champions Australia by eight wickets in Dubai on Thursday to advance to the Women’s T20 World Cup final.
Bosch, who struck eight fours and a six in her 48-ball innings and shared a match-winning partnership of 96 with skipper Laura Wolvaardt, helped South Africa reach their target of 135 to win with 16 balls remaining.
The South Africans will face either West Indies or New Zealand, who met in the second semi-final on Friday, in Sunday’s final, which won’t feature either Australia or England.
