Australia To Semi Finals

It was a must win game for South Africa, if they wanted to progress to the semi finals. Australia won the toss and elected to field, putting South Africa into bat. Two BIG names for South Africa, with Levi and Amla at the crease. However Levi was abruptly silenced for nothing by Doherty for no runs. Two over later Watson collected Kallis's Wicket for 6. Amla and JP Duminy gained some momentum getting a 25 run partnership until Amla fell to Doherty's Spin. Five overs later Duminy fell in the exact same fashion.  De Villiers fell for 21 runs to Watson. Behardien and Peterson got a decent partnership getting a 30 each. South Africa finished their innings on 5 for 146. That meant that Australia had to get 147 to win.

Wade Stumping Duminy  for 30 Bowled by Doherty.

Australia were looking for their  4th win of the series and in form Watson and Warner came into bat. In the 3rd over Warner got out for 5 by Morkel. Watson and Hussey absolutely capitalised with Watson until 10 overs later Watson got out for 70 off 47 balls. White came in and steered with Hussey Australia to the Semi Finals. Hussey got 45 and White got 21 scoring the winning run as well. Australia won by 8 wickets with 14 balls remaining.

Man of the Match was Shane Watson for 70 runs and 2 wickets. Shane Watson tops the most wickets, runs and sixes. Australia is the only team to be undefeated so far. Australia is going to the semi finals. I think that cricket is still at an amateur level so 1 of the 22 players can control the whole game like what Shane Watson did in this game and series so far.
