00:00Semi-final action in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup, semi-final number two, the City of Joy.
00:09Five-time champions Australia in action here today in this highly anticipated clash
00:16against Temba Balumas in South Africa who are trying to get past the semi-final
00:22in ICC Men's ODI World Cup for the first time.
00:26For C23, India, already positioned and waiting for the winner of this contest.
00:35Temba Balumas of a toss confessed that he wasn't a hundred percent fit, but felt good.
00:44Close run, good stop.
00:47Yeah, just too straight for Mitchell Stark and I think that...
00:51Got it in.
00:54Early wicket for Australia from Mitchell Stark.
00:58A power play strike is exactly what Australia would have been requiring.
01:03In this semi-final, number two, Rassi van der Dusen, whose form has picked...
01:10We saw with the first board of De Kock, it's just bouncing and nipping across.
01:24You see, particularly left-handers.
01:27And bowlers are over the wicket.
01:28A wonderful spell, a couple of mid-back now wants straightens.
01:39And over pitchers.
01:41And here's the first bit of adjustment from Rassi van der Dusen, trying to create something.
01:46They're desperate for a kickless moment.
01:48The conditions, but we are on the way, well on the way.
01:50It's high.
01:55Cummins underneath it.
01:57He takes it.
01:58Brilliant catching.
02:00Brilliant from Hazelwood.
02:03Consistency supreme.
02:06An Australian light.
02:08Proving to be overwhelming.
02:10As Aidan Markram takes center stage here at Aidan Gardens.
02:14That extra catcher that came in just allows Markram to nudge.
02:29Oh, another example of the wonderful ground fielding from Australia at the beginning of this game.
02:38Oh, swing for Stark and it cuts Markram in two.
02:42And it's one thing to save those three.
02:50Well, 52 balls it has taken at the start of this semi-fine.
03:00Oh, more movement off the seam for Hazelwood.
03:03Should get at least two.
03:13And a very fast outfield here at Aidan Gardens brings another boundary to the lake.
03:20Drives but finds.
03:23Lavashane again diving away at cover.
03:24Gone, got him.
03:32A drive, a thick outside edge.
03:34Straight into the hands of David Warner at backward point.
03:41Point and that brings Heinrich Klassen to the crease.
03:46Edged and gone.
03:47And it's another.
03:48It is Smith this time at second slip.
03:51Hazelwood outstanding.
03:53South Africa four down.
03:59And there are two finishers at the crease.
04:02David Miller joins Heinrich Klassen.
04:06It's edged but short of second slip.
04:08This is a wonderful start.
04:11In trouble at 32 for four.
04:16Nicely driven.
04:17And for once the Australian fielders can't get a hand on it.
04:21And it's Klassen and Miller.
04:23Typically the finishers who slips in place.
04:26It's upish.
04:27Just short of the field.
04:30Some fortune finally for the South Africans.
04:32Both sides must bat for 20 overs to get a full game.
04:38There is a rain day tomorrow.
04:40A reserve day, Matthew Hayden.
04:42Although the weather looks not good tomorrow.
04:44There's only light showers here.
04:45If there was no cricket play from this point.
04:48South Africa advanced due to a superior run rate.
04:51But at the moment.
04:52Play is set to resume in approximately two minutes time.
04:55South Africa on the back foot.
04:5744 for four.
04:59The fans of the green and gold are happy.
05:00As is that man Pat Kupp.
05:02Good piece of fielding again by the Australians.
05:06There's only one man outside the rope.
05:0930 on the offside.
05:10You've got.
05:13Lofted.
05:14First time we've seen it all day from South Africa.
05:18And the first six of this semi-file.
05:20And the 50 comes.
05:21Given their wickets away.
05:23Or has this been.
05:26Short.
05:27Another dot ball.
05:28Since the resumption.
05:30He's now bowled 11 deliveries.
05:32For no runs.
05:33Hazelwood.
05:35That time it's lofted.
05:38Very similar results.
05:40Zampa throws it up.
05:41And Miller says.
05:42I'll have that.
05:45Chipped away nicely.
05:46South Africa now gaining some momentum.
05:48Practice wickets.
05:49You know the end result.
05:50Continuing to bring the changes.
05:55Zampa.
05:56Unfa.
05:58Not timed.
06:01Held up there for a moment as Pat Cummins went short.
06:04Interest from Maxwell.
06:11He's going to immediately have a chat with Inglis.
06:18His very good square of the wicket is Clarsen.
06:21Giving him an opportunity to score.
06:23And that takes him to a 50 partnership.
06:26Yesterday as well wasn't there though.
06:28David Beckham just happened to turn.
06:29This is where he can be very destructive Clarsen.
06:35He's very good at the side of the field.
06:38Double dose.
06:41Double dose from Clarsen.
06:45Maybe some.
06:49Rwanda from these two's point of view.
06:52They feel it's just time maybe to start on the counter.
06:54Yes, Roger.
06:57You need to move.
06:58Trouble.
06:59Trouble.
07:00And this is just what can happen in this situation.
07:04The partnership just...
07:06Well, that's a gift for David Miller and South Africa.
07:11Just as the partnership is starting to put pressure back on.
07:1570.
07:17Big ass to go eight and over.
07:19It's found some space on the offside.
07:26Despite the rain, it's still a quick outfield.
07:30Travis Head comes in and breaks the partnership.
07:35A massive moment in the semi-final.
07:38And the quest for a place in the final on Sunday.
07:42Johnson walks to the crease now.
07:44And South Africa with still almost 20 overs to go.
07:50Turn.
07:51And he's right in front of the stumps.
07:55Travis Head has two and two.
07:58And the Proteus now in deep trouble.
08:02There's a chat.
08:05Is it work?
08:06Never seen.
08:07I'm not drinking a men's cricket work.
08:09That will be his 50.
08:15David Miller coming into this game.
08:17Had one half second.
08:19Catch.
08:24A welcome boundary for Coetzee and South Africa.
08:31Seized on it.
08:32Marginally short.
08:35Miller ends the over with a boundary.
08:38Catch.
08:38He seizes his moments.
08:43David Miller and he's going well.
08:45Going guns.
08:46I have a discussion about it.
08:53Any top order batter in this match will be proud of that from Gerald Katsia.
08:59One fifth becomes...
09:00Marach will have a big part to play.
09:03Lee.
09:03That slower bouncer for me, I found it so hard to be able to play.
09:12Someone who bowls...
09:13...which South Africa may feel would give them a...
09:15And he does.
09:17And he goes hard and he goes straight.
09:23And he hits another six.
09:24Miller...
09:25In a World Cup match.
09:27So six now.
09:29Miller's there.
09:31Cummins thinks there's a bit of glove on that.
09:33As does the umpire.
09:36And Cummins takes Australia's seventh.
09:38Coetzee will have a chat with Miller at the other end.
09:40But there's confidence behind off South Africa.
09:44To a score above 200.
09:45First one for the other night.
09:47First one.
09:51Tying up that leg side boundary.
09:53And he gets this away powerfully along the ground.
09:58This is very...
09:59Well timed.
10:02A lot of work to be done.
10:03Too much.
10:04What innings this is by David Miller.
10:06He moves into the 90s.
10:07He's keeping his team in the...
10:09Expecting it.
10:10And that's where it goes.
10:11But he pumps it.
10:12Doesn't time.
10:13It should be another wicket.
10:14It is!
10:14Steve Smith takes the catch.
10:17Maharaj is done.
10:18Mitchell Stark gets a third.
10:22Still 3.4 overs to go.
10:24He's got Miller up the other end on 94.
10:27Difference in this game between...
10:31A massive six by David Miller.
10:33What a way to bring up 100.
10:35A time when his country needed him.
10:38He's hung...
10:40Short again.
10:42Tongued.
10:43Out!
10:44Threw it in the air.
10:46I reckon he's done enough.
10:47And Cummins the captain.
10:49Gets the enormous wicket of David Miller.
10:53Maharaj.
10:54In against Pakistan.
10:56Africa.
10:58High from Rabada.
11:00He takes on Mitchell Stark.
11:02And sends him Rose back.
11:03He's a little beauty.
11:06Both striving to book a ticket to Ahmedabad in the 100.
11:12Rabada.
11:13He's done.
11:14Great catch.
11:15Maxwell.
11:17A punctuation on a fine effort in the field for the Aussies.
11:22They knock South Africa over for 212.
11:26Only halfway but advantage Australia.
11:30Yeah, good catch.
11:30Halfway stage of the second semi-final of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup here in Calcutta.
11:37Had a magnificent crowd come in for this crucial game.
11:41South Africa taking on Australia.
11:44Australia, right now, probably hold all the cards.
11:48Needs fight from the pro tiers.
11:56Only go around just over 140.
11:59That one 140.
12:02Spreaky.
12:04And a boundary.
12:08Poppage.
12:09But no overs have been lost.
12:11That's quite important.
12:14Let's get to the way.
12:15Behind Squee on the offside.
12:17Seen some runs there for Head.
12:19Now runs for Warner.
12:23It's just releasing so much pressure.
12:26Quint to the cock.
12:27That is absolutely brilliant.
12:29You've saved some runs for your team.
12:35That's what he does as well.
12:38He loves width on the offside.
12:39But if you give him any opportunity leg side, he'll be on to it very quickly.
12:45He pounces on this.
12:46Brilliant from Head.
12:50It just shows you the confidence of the man.
12:53This is what you call brave cricket, folks.
12:57Now it goes straight.
12:59This is giving Jensen a lot to think about.
13:01What length do I hold now?
13:04Absolutely.
13:04What a pick-up.
13:12That is magnificent batting by the opener.
13:18Going straight and going long.
13:21Excellent from Warner.
13:24Free hit goes for more runs.
13:27South Africa under the pump.
13:28This is absolutely brilliant batting here.
13:32This is an exhibition of opening.
13:38Now, bowling changes from Pat Cummins was...
13:41Got him.
13:44He breaks the opening partnership.
13:47And South Africa shows some fight.
13:51Terrific from Markram.
13:52Terrific from Timbaba Boomer.
13:54Terrific.
13:55Of 177 undefeated.
13:56Of 132 balls against Bangladesh in their final group game.
14:01Timash.
14:03Goals on the arm taken.
14:05What a catch that is.
14:07Van de Doosan flies.
14:10Through the night sky here in Kolkata.
14:12In South Africa.
14:14They come back hard.
14:15Heavy duty batsman Steve Smith comes to the crease.
14:18Ten minutes ago he would have been sitting in the dugout with a smile on his face now.
14:22The team.
14:23Look at that from Head.
14:24That might answer your question, Polly.
14:26Just on the left stop.
14:28And he whacks it away over the backwood square.
14:30And he stayed in the team through injury.
14:33But he's here now.
14:35Travis Head.
14:36One step.
14:37Didn't really time it.
14:38But gets enough willow on it to bring up a fifth boundary alongside two sixes.
14:42With...
14:45Catch goes down.
14:47They're the moments that South Africa simply must take.
14:51Risa Hendricks.
14:51He's on the fricker.
14:54Could have been a chance.
14:56But it's a tough call because it was...
15:00Again.
15:02It's into the gap.
15:03Another boundary for Travis Head.
15:05He comes out with a rapid fire.
15:08He throws his hands at him.
15:11And that is the class of Stephen Smith.
15:14Yeah, that's a brilliant shot.
15:15He just had to wait for something.
15:17Offered up.
15:23Another opportunity.
15:24It was hard.
15:26It was fast.
15:27But it goes down.
15:28And De Kock drops his head.
15:30Tissus offering a bit to bowlers of every time.
15:33Keshav Maharaj.
15:34Oh!
15:35Hold him!
15:36What a change.
15:39The number one ranked ODI ball of Keshav Maharaj.
15:43Into the attack.
15:44Into the action.
15:46And in...
15:46Innings of 62.
15:47But he's gone now.
15:51Oh!
15:51Surely out!
15:53Is he outside the line?
15:56Shamsi is absolutely convinced he's got Labashain.
15:59It's been a torrid start for Labashain.
16:11But finally, he gets one a little overpitched.
16:14He can get a good firm...
16:15Oh, it's a lovely shot.
16:19That is a terrific shot.
16:23Close.
16:24Big shout.
16:25And given.
16:25Attempted reverse sweep from Labashain.
16:31It looked to pitch and straighten.
16:33Think he's in trouble.
16:34He will send it upstairs.
16:36But South Africa are confident.
16:38In Mumbai, by...
16:41The estimation of many of the greatest ODI innings that we've seen.
16:45Might know which way or which shot he want to play.
16:49Maxwell swiping across the line.
16:52A massive moment there again for South Africa.
16:55Huge!
16:57Shamsi has gone on.
16:58Great.
17:00Great.
17:28Ah!
17:29Ah!
17:30Ah!
17:31Ah!
