Follow UsNimali Perera, Jacquline Williams, Lauren Agenbag and Claire Polosak have been announced as the on-field umpires for the upcoming ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 semi-finals.
Perera and Williams will take control of the opening semi-final between Australia and South Africa in Dubai on October 17.
Perera, who took charge of the semi-final between India and Australia in last year’s tournament, stood in two of South Africa’s group matches, against Bangladesh and West Indies. Williams has been in the middle for three of the Proteas’ games so far.
They will be joined by third umpire Anna Harris, fourth umpire Kim Cotton and match referee Michell Pereira.
The second semi-final, where West Indies face New Zealand in Sharjah, will see Agenbag and Polosak overseeing proceedings from the middle.
Agenbag, 28, became the youngest umpire to officiate in a Cricket World Cup final when she stood in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2022 showpiece in New Zealand. She has officiated in four group matches at this tournament so far.
That is a tally matched by Polosak, for whom this will mark her 63rd career WT20I as an on-field umpire.
Eloise Sheridan will be the third umpire in Sharjah with Vrinda Rathi in place as the fourth umpire. GS Lakshmi is the match referee.
