The South African women's cricket team pulled off a stunning upset on Thursday, 17 October, defeating six-time champions Australia by eight wickets in the semifinals of the Women's T20 World Cup 2024.



Australia, touted as favorites, struggled to contain the Proteas' batting onslaught. Their usually potent bowling attack was neutralized by South Africa's calculated approach. The Australian side, known for their dominance in the tournament, was left reeling as the Proteas effortlessly chased down their target.


Nonkululeko Mlaba became the first Proteas Women's bowler to take 10 wickets in a single edition of the Women's T20 World Cup. This remarkable achievement underscores Mlaba's impressive form and contribution to the team's success.


With Australia's championship reign coming to an end, Australia's era of dominance in women's cricket is now under scrutiny.
