Twitter reacts as Australia lose to South Africa in a last over thriller
When it comes to World Cup encounters between South Africa and Australia, they are never short of action. Australia lost by just 10 runs to fall second on the table and will face England in semi-finals. Indian fans, on Twitter, reacted on the same and lauded South Africa for defeating Australia.
Brief Score: South Africa 325/6 in 50 overs (Faf du Plessis 100, Rassie van der Dussen 95; Nathan Lyon 2-53, Mitchell Starc 2-59) beat Australia 315/10 in 49.8 overs (David Warner 122, Alex Carey 85; Kagiso Rabada 3-56, Dwayne Pretorius 2-27) by 10 runs.
Great effort by Carey!
Warner we know as a brilliant batsman, but Carey has been a marvel in the World Cup. Superb fightback by Australia from a near hopeless situation

Dear Warner,

We know that you’ve not played at Edgbaston in #CWC19 but trust us, it’s a beautiful pitch and you’ll enjoy batting there too.
Warm regards... 🙏
On a serious note—what a player. Did he ever go away?? #AusvSA
Best match so far!
This #AUSvSA is probably most interesting match yet of this World Cup. Rest were mostly one sided.

Obviously, they can!
You telling me South Africa can’t defend 325 with Rabada Morris and Tahir? 😡 #AusvSA

Thrilling run chase!
Probably the best match of the #CWCUP2019 is on right now. David Warner is back at his best. And how good a player is Carey...
