It was Nine’s night in total people because of the NZ v Pakistan tip-and-run semi-final on Gem, which averaged 313,000 viewers (and 211,000 on Foxtel). Seven won the main channels but there was little of real interest apart from Hard Quiz with 699,000 and Fisk with 602,000 on the ABC.
Tonight it’s England v India in the other tip-and-run semi-final.
