South Africa will tackle Australia within the first semi-final on the identical day, because the ICC introduced the dates, instances, and venues for the knockout levels of the event.

The winners of each semi-finals will then meet within the closing at Bayuemas Oval in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday, February 2, beginning at 2:30 PM native time.
Here is a take a look at what can we count on from each of the semi-final video games:South Africa v Australia:Australia has bowled brilliantly all through the event, with Lily Bassingthwaite being the standout, boasting six wickets and an financial system fee of two.22. They are going to be hoping their top-order batting begins to fireside.
They may should be in prime kind for this conflict. The group stage was simple for them, beating Scotland and Nepal simply earlier than a better contest in opposition to Bangladesh, and so they adopted that up with a very good win in opposition to West Indies within the Tremendous Sixes.
They already knew they had been by to the semi-finals earlier than they performed Sri Lanka of their final Tremendous Six match, which can have contributed to them turning into the one semi-finalists to be overwhelmed within the event.
South Africa have been hampered by rain all through the event, and haven’t performed a full 40 overs thus far. It’s tough, then, to evaluate their true kind, however then it is going to be equally difficult for opponents to organize for his or her batters, contemplating they’ve batted for fewer than 27 overs of their 4 matches mixed.
The bowlers have accomplished precisely what has been required of them, with captain Kayla Reyneke main the way in which, taking 9 wickets with a mean financial system fee of 4.03. However the knock-out levels will show a sterner check than they’ve confronted so far.
India vs England:Defending champions India are favorites to retain their crown, with a nine-wicket win over West Indies, an eight-wicket win over Bangladesh, a 60-run win over Sri Lanka, and a 150-run win over Scotland. However now they face England, who’ve made their well beyond a number of massive obstacles to get this far, beating Pakistan by six wickets, the USA by eight wickets, and New Zealand by six wickets.
India has some stand-out shining stars – most notably Trisha Gongadi on the prime of the batting order and the excellent Vaishnavi Sharma, with 12 wickets already within the event together with a hat-trick.
England might be hoping to take away Trisha as quickly as potential after which have their fingers crossed that the India center order and tail haven’t had the match follow to fend off their very own superb bowling assault, led by spinner Tilly Corteen-Coleman, who has taken seven wickets thus far.
With the bat, Davina Perrin has been England’s finest performer, with 131 runs to her title, and she’s going to search so as to add to that complete. (ANI)
