Fifties from Steve Smith and Marcus Stoinis proved not to be enough as brilliant bowling from Imran Tahir and Morne Morkel restrict Australia.
The chokers have made it to the final!

HTML:
SOUTH AFRICA         309/4     50.0 overs
AUSTRALIA            277/6     50.0 overs
  
South Africa won by 32 runs
 
Man of the match: Faf du Plessis

@The Deadman @Noctis.
 
Could just say that our bowlers were tight enough to restrict a team as India to a below par score of 280 .
 
The chokers have made it to the final!
Proteas...
Well done by faf, de kock and miller. Morkel did well in the first over, replicated Hazlewood. Imran Tahir also did very good, Smith would've done it all by himself.
Time to take on the hosts!

FINAL:

:eng: England ( @Naman Thakur ) v :saf: South Africa ( @Noctis. ), The Oval
What's on the cards? - For one team, it is about removing the chokers tag from their name and also revenge against the English, who defeated them in an ODI series before the tournament.
-----------------------------England will look to win the final unlike the last Champions Trophy. It is tough to pick favorite but South Africa has been unbeaten throughout the tournament so they have a slight advantage.
Players To Look Out For: :eng: :bwl: Adil Rashid, :bwl: Chris Woakes, :wkb: Jonny Bairstow, :bat: Joe Root, :bwl: Mark Wood
--------------------------------:saf: :bat: Hashim Amla, :bat: Faf du Plessis, :bwl: Mornel Morkel, :bwl: Imran Tahir, :wkb: Quinton de Kock


Rules:
Post your lineup within 24 hours. Otherwise, I will take a random lineup.
Your XI needs to have at least 6 bowling options (:ar:/:bwl:).
You need to have at least 1 wicket-keeper (:wk:/:wkb:).

Big achievement for England as they win their maiden Champions Trophy by beating the unbeaten (before this match) team of the tournament with utter ease! The fought hard and kept winning. Aggressive, fearless cricket, just what Morgan needed from his bunch of men to deliver in tournaments. Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow were the stars with the bat while Adil Rashid registered historic figures and had great support from the pacers especially Chris Woakes.


IMRANTAHIR.jpg

Delivered above their weights! Even I did not expect them to reach Semis but they exceeded my expectations. Their campaign was starred by power-packing performances from Hashim Amla with the bat while the pair of Hashim Amla and Morne Morkel took care with the ball.

Hoo hoo ! Its's party time . BRAVO !!!!!!

The boys were aggressive from the get go . Handled or rather cluttered the chase like none . :cheers
 
Ab de Villiers and du Plessis wickets were the turnaround. They didnt perform well enough. The other team did good I feel we were a good hundred runs short against a very good side and on their turf. Well Congrats to England. Good tournament for us. Reached the final in CWC15 and in CT17 so we're close to a big success :) Well done @Sinister One (Count me in as Australia for CWC11 if you gonna run it)
