In a crucial moment of the ongoing ICC World Cup second semi-final clash between South Africa and Australia at the iconic Eden Gardens, Rassie van der Dussen became the latest casualty, falling victim to the precision of Josh Hazlewood's bowling. The Proteas found themselves in a precarious position as wickets tumbled like a house of cards.

Hazlewood, adopting a classic Test match approach, delivered a well-pitched ball outside the off-stump, exploiting the corridor of uncertainty. Rassie van der Dussen, attempting to defend, could only manage an outside edge, with the ball safely landing in the hands of the slip cordon. The dismissal marked Hazlewood's second scalp, leaving South Africa reeling at four down.

Van der Dussen, who had been struggling to find his rhythm throughout the innings, departed with just six runs to his name. Hazlewood's disciplined bowling and the well-set field proved to be the undoing of the South African batsman.

As the tension in the stadium escalated, Australia gained the upper hand in this crucial encounter, leaving South Africa with an uphill battle in their quest for a spot in the World Cup final. At the time of writing, Heinrich Klassen and David Miller are taking charge, trying their best to put a tough score on the board.
