Semi-final 2. Australia's bowling figures for this match are deliberately omitted: a research pass produced a bowling card naming players who did not play international cricket for Australia at this time (Josh Hazlewood, Adam Zampa) or who did not bowl in this match (Brad Haddin, the wicketkeeper) — a clear fabrication, not used and not replaced with any other figures, since none could be confirmed to this site's sourcing standard from another source.
