South Africa are known as Chokers in world of cricket and they seem to be proving their distractors right again, as they have been reduced to 119-6 in a crucial semifinal at Eden Gardens against the Aussies. South Africa elected to bat first and were rocked early as they were reduced to 24-4 in the 12th over. However, Klaasen and Miller stood up and started delivering counter punch before Travis Head ended South Africa's fightback by sending Klaasen and Marco Jansen on consecutive deliveries.

South Africa recovered well and were 119-4 and Klaasen had already hit two boundaries in the 31st over. However, Head first cleaned up Klaasen on the fourth delivery and then trapped Marco Jansen on the very first delivery to send South Africa back in the rut.

Talking about Marco Jansen's wicket, it was a classic off-spinner's delivery. It pitched on off and was just short of full-length. However, the tall Marco Jansen went back and tried to defend it and ended up missing it altogether. The ball hit him on the pads and as the big appeal followed followed, the umpire was quick to raise his finger. Marco took the DRS more in hope than anything else and ended up wasting it as the Ball Tracking showed three reds.

It is all upto Miller now to take South Africa to a competitive total and it would be interesting to see how the Proteas go about their business.
