Polosak Appointed to T20 World Cup Semi

Claire Polosak will tonight umpire her third Women’s T20 World Cup Semi-Final, taking to the middle for the England v South Africa match in Cape Town.

The appointment comes at her fourth T20 World Cup – with her previous semi-finals coming in each of the last two editions.

During the preliminary rounds of the competition, she was on-field for three matches; West Indies v England, Ireland v England and Pakistan v Ireland; and TV Umpire for two; South Africa v New Zealand and West Indies v India.

Her involvement at the World Cup comes after a busy period, which has seen her make an on-field debut in the BBL, umpire the WBBL final and four matches in the Australia v Pakistan women’s series.

The match will be her 43rd Women’s T20 International in the middle.

Polosak’s on-field partner will be Jacqueline Williams (West Indies), with South Australian Eloise Sheridan to be TV Umpire.

The match is scheduled to begin at 12am AEDT and is to be broadcast on Kayo and Fox Cricket.
