Historic moments need historic decisions.

The SABC will broadcast the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup final between South Africa and Australia at Newlands Cricket Stadium in Cape Town today. Viewers in the country have only been able to watch the exciting tournament on pay channel SuperSport thus far.

The national broadcaster announced this major development on Saturday evening after rumblings about how such a momentous occasion could not be accessed by all South Africans.

Proteas reach World Cup final

At last! At long, long last!

The Proteas are going to the final of a world cup. South Africa's women's national team defeated England in a very tense 2023 ICC Women's T20 semifinal on Friday at Newlands Stadium in Cape Town.

The hosts scored 164/4 for in their allotted 20 overs, before restricting the co-favourites (alongside Australia) to 158 runs for the loss of eight wickets in their chase. The 'Vrouteas' will now take on the Baggy Green in the final on Sunday afternoon. They scraped past India by five very tight runs on Thursday.

The off-field entertainment during the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup has proven to be as good as the on-field action.

Various musical acts have displayed their talents to spectators and viewers at home in between the cricket itself. The most popular one proved to be the gqomkaans group, Temple Boys Cpt, who rocked the crowd at Boland Park Cricket Stadium in Paarl.

The hip-hop group, renowned for rapping in Afrikaans, performed ahead of the encounter between the West Indies and Pakistan (which the former won).
