Upsets do happen in cricket, rather they happen in every sports. I know that 80% of the gamblers have placed the bet on England win as they were favorites but all of them have lost the bet yesterday.

It was not only a bad day for the England team but also a bad day for most of the gamblers who bet on that semifinal.

You can see the odds for tomorrow's match also favors heavily Australia and South Africa are underdogs in this match too. Is anyone willing to take a risk in this final which will be played tomorrow?

The amount that they are getting paid is 100% generated by Indian Men's cricket. Your reply to my reasoning here is completely falsified. I have no calm with women cricket players but showing the captain crying on national television would only encourage such an argument.

Let's dig into the stats of Indian women's cricket and especially our beloved captain H. Kaur. After 2017 she became the captain on Indian side and she has not won a single ICC tournament to date.

• 2018 - T20WC - lost
• 2020 - T20WC - lost
• 2022 - ODIWC - lost
• 2023 - T20WC - lost

• 2017 - ICCCT  - lost
• 2019 - ODIWC - lost
• 2021 - T20WC - lost

We know what happened to him afterward. Just because he is a man does not mean he should get hatred from every Indian fan and not this woman. They are both professional cricket players and they are expected to take responsibility for their incompetence and not gain support by crying on mainstream media as she did. I also question her runout in my opinion she should have slid down in order to save her wicket. What player on earth would do that kind of running between the wickets? I remember such kind of running between the wicket was common in the 90s and before 2007 by Men's cricket teams.

BCCI and mainly our society, in general started supporting Women's cricket after the 2017 WC's final so give them a couple of more years once WPL kicks in. They are already in the Top 3 teams, gaps are wide but it's not related to skills but to fitness level. Once they see off these challenges then we can expect some juicy results.  

The main reason for England women's defeat was their uncontrolled bowling and overconfidence. England's players were more confident. They have played very well in all the previous matches. And they might think they can easily win against South Africa. England Women's batting line-up was very experienced. And one of the strongest batting line-ups of this World Cup is England's batting line-up. Then their performance in this match was poor. However, this year's World Cup is probably going to be won by Australia.

I am curious to see what you guys are going to bet on for the final between Australia vs South Africa? Australia are the defending champions and they have already won South Africa convincingly, but South Africa are on a roll now and they have home field advantage, so it is going to be a tough one to call.

I am going to place a small bet on South Africa for the win, because with the odds against them... I could win a large amount if they surprise us once again in the final. 

I was also a bit surprised by yesterday's match. England Women came close to victory but lost the semi-final match of the World Cup. They had good enough batting but could not hold on the wickets. However, some bowlers of the South Africa women's team bowled very well at the end. Australia and South Africa will face each other tomorrow in the World Cup Final 2023. But if England or India were against Australia then there would have been great excitement in that match. But South African women's team will be able to provide a good match in the final?

Well, the results are out in the open for everyone to see so it's safe to say that it's a correct statement.

Having said that now facing Aussies in the finals would be their biggest challenge. This is 7th consecutive T-20 WC Final for the mighty Aussie, although I'd like to see a new champion.

UAE vs Namibia

Namibia won the toss and elected to ball first. And UAE is on the way and gave 3 wickets. UAE made 59 runs in 20 overs and doing to its best. And the Current Run Rate is 2.97. It is hard to predict at this time that who will win. Because the both team will try to their best. In my point of view UAE can win but not sure. Let see.

I don't know what happened to the England women yesterday. During the chase, they seemed to be in complete control for the first 10 overs or so. But then Nadine de Klerk bowled some very tight overs, and the required run rate shot up to more than 9. And that created a lot of pressure and from there onwards it was a downhill journey for the England women. Shabnim Ismail and Ayabonga Khaka finished what de Klerk had started. England lower order and tail fell like a pack of cards. Apart from the top 5, none of the players could get to double digits.

South Africa Women's team to lose against England Women's team was incredible. I don't think anyone imagined that England would be beaten by South Africa. England team is very strong in women's cricket. And England team was the favorite to become champions in this year's World Cup. England Women's performance in every match was very good. Even then they could not collect 165 runs by batting against the bowlers of South Africa. England's players scored 53 runs in the first 5 overs. After that, England's batting slowly started to slow due to the loss of wickets. Probably a lot of gamblers lost their money in this match.

I also lost my bet today, I also had full faith in the England women team to win against South Africa women team. And also the whole match England women's team gave such a good performance but the main reason for them was the fall of many wickets in a row towards the last. By the way congratulation and best of luck to the South African women's for the Final. It's true that Australian women were the most favourite team in this final but after this match I have change something in my mind little that South Africa also can use their benefits of Playing in their home ground.

Never go behind favorites in cricket betting. I am sure, it would not be just you but more than 50% of bettors might have faced similar situation like you as this win by South Africa must be a historic one and losing a bet this way is digestible for all regular gamblers. I am going to wager on South Africa in the final as T20 final are favorable to the team which finds its form during the tournament and not just to the team which entered the tournament with full form.

Now I come to the conclusion that semi-final curse is only for men's team and these South Africa women may wear the crown on Sunday.

Our predictions have gone wrong! South Africa has dramatically won the match against England and entered in the final match. The 18th over has changed the game today, England lost 3 wickets in that over. Now Australia is favourite in the final match. I lost my bet by placing it with confidence on the England women's team.

If i am not wrong then this is the first time any proteas's cricket team booked their ticket for WC finals. What a proud moment for SA. The men's team failed no worries, women will do the job and make their country proud.  

Tough luck for Poms, it was an upset but full credit to SA for a nice comeback, don't forget they lost the 1st match against SL.  

Before semi-final everyone was thinking about England to be in finals but South Africa surprised everyone with their wonderful batting and tough balling they made it to finals with alot of hard work and dedication.
England couldn't handle South Africa balling pressure as a result they were defeated at the end .

What a historic moment for the South African girls to reach the final of the Women's T20 world cup. The South Africans women team reach the final not only for the first time but also this world cup is being played in South Africa so that is a great moment for these young girls.

Sunday will be a big day for them as if they want this world cup they will have to win it for the very first time and that too in their home ground and the home crowd.

England needed only 13 runs from the last 6 balls but shabnam lsmail didn't let this happen. I must say that this was a very interesting game to watch and those who haven't watch it should watch the highlight of this incredible dramatic cricket game.

The second match of the Women's T20 World Cup was played between England and South Africa.The match ended just moments ago.After much drama, South Africa beat England by 6 runs to reach their dream final.They will face Australia in the final.South Africa scored 164 runs in the second semi-final.England went into bat with a target of 164 runs and stopped at 158 ​​runs.This resulted in South Africa winning by six runs. Ayabonga Khaka took four wickets and Shabnim Ismail took three wickets for South Africa.

The match is getting tighter. Nadine de Klerk bowled some very tight overs and as a result of it the required run rate shot up to 9. But as long as Nat Sciver-Brunt and Heather Knight are there, England doesn't have much to worry. Brunt was dropped by Tyron a few minutes ago, and that may prove costly for the South African women. De Klerk is causing some real problems although. Her third over was tidy as well, and went for just 5 runs. And England batters need to face one more over from her. At this point, Nadine de Klerk is the one who is standing between a final between England and Australia.

Before the start of this 2nd semi final between England and South Africa women's team, the favorite team is England to win this match but right now it's hard to say if England will really win this match.

They need almost 80 runs in 60 balls which is not an impossible task but it won't be easy because first this is a women's match and we do not expect they can score with the same pace as compared to the men's team and secondly is the semi-final pressure. Remember SA are playing at their home ground.

Are we heading toward an upset and seeing an Australia Vs South Africa Final or will we see the traditional England Australia final?

ICC Women's T20 World Cup Semi Final 2 match, England Women team vs South Africa Women team. South Africa Women's team won the toss and batted first 164 runs in 20 overs. South Africa women's top order batting performed well but middle order and last batting did not perform well. If the South African women's team could have played a bit better, they could have scored a big one. On the other hand, England women's team also has many skilled batsmen. I think England women team will easily reach the target of 165 runs and reach the final match

South Africa women put a decent target on the score board, but it looks like England Women might chase this down and qualify for the finals. After 9 overs England need 84 runs to make the final. South Africa women's don't quality wicket taker bowlers, also fielding quite ordinary. South Africa women need to do something special to win this match. England Women's quite determine to win, so I'm still backing England will reach the final.
