Australia's domination of women's cricket has been ended sensationally in Dubai after an inspired South Africa hammered them by eight wickets in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup.
After winning the last four World Cups - three in T20 and one at 50 overs - in a fantastic six-year reign, one of global sport's most successful teams were finally downed in a wholly unexpected one-sided affair on Thursday night.
Anneke Bosch proved their ultimate executioner, blasting the highest individual score of the tournament, 74 not out off just 48 balls, to make preposterously light work of their target of 135 with 16 balls to spare.
