World Cup 2023: When Eden Gardens crowd lent voice to South African charge

South Africa's power-packed batting unit suffered a light-out against Australia, but they found enough support from the packed Eden Gardens crowd during the second semifinal of the World Cup here Thursday. So, why did the Kolkatans cheer for the Proteas? It was quite simple as they preferred an India vs South Africa title clash on Sunday at Ahmedabad. Everyone knows what Aussies are capable of in a World Cup final. We dread to see an India-Australia final, so want them to lose today, said Rashmi Bhattacharya, a software professional who had come with his 14-year-old son, sporting a Quinton De Kock jersey. She represented the thousands of Indian spectators at the Eden, who cheered 'South Africaa, South Africaa", hoping that the five-time champions go out of India's way. It was safe to assume that green outnumbered yellow among the fans, whose number touched 47,825 on this day. As South Africa endured a top-order meltdown to be 24 for four, the stunned crowd fell into silence before

Walter provided his personal definition of a "choke," stating, "for me, a choke is losing a game that you are in a position to win. "In this instance, we were behind right from the word go, and we actually fought our way back into the competition and put up a score that gave us a chance," Walter said in the post-match media conference. We're 30-40 runs short =============== Walter said his team was 30-40 runs short. "And then, again, they (Australia) got us to a flier. We fought and we put ourselves back into the game," he said, adding 30 more runs would have made the

Ahead of the last-four match here on Thursday, history is heavily stacked against the SA who have lost in the semifinals of the showpiece four times, with two of them coming against the Aussies.
