In a series of stunning developments, Kevin Pietersen, the South African skipper, announced on the eve of the semi-final clash against Australia that he would be leaving on another Kolpak deal to England after the 2019 World Cup. A visibly distraught South African unit looked lost in the semi-final in which they won the toss and chose to field.

Steven Smith and co. smashed a mammoth 412 batting first as Pietersen looked least interested in setting proper fields. South Africa dropped quite a few catches and run-out opportunities as Australia piled on the misery.

In South Africa's innings, Pietersen opted to bat at 8 as his newly dyed blue hair hadn't dried yet thus preventing him from wearing a helmet. He hammered a fine hundred in a losing cause from no.8 and later dedicated the century to his fans in England.
