KOLKATA: If South Africa were wondering what the cyclone, said to be forming over eastern India, would be like, they got a taste of it early on at the Eden Gardens here on Thursday.
The overcast conditions were good enough for the Australia pace duo of Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood to wreak havoc in the South African batting lineup. Even though David Miller weathered the storm with a brilliant 101, South Africa’s 212 in 49.4 overs in the second World Cup semifinal had a below-par look to it.
