Joel Wilson will be in the role of third umpire in this match. The final and fourth umpire will be Adrian Holdstock. The match referee will be Andy Pycroft.

The Indian umpire has also got a place for the second semi-final match. This can be called good news for Indian fans. Cattlebrough was the umpire in the 2019 World Cup semi-final in which India lost.

At that time New Zealand was in front and this time too. Richard Cattlebrough, who did not give wide before Kohli’s century in the match against Bangladesh, will be the umpire in the semi-final between Australia and South Africa. India’s Nitin Menon will also be accompanying him.

Chris Gaffney will be in the role of third umpire during the match between Australia and South Africa. The role of the fourth umpire will be Michael Gough. India’s Javagal Srinath has been appointed as the match referee in this match. Thus, there is one Indian umpire and one referee in this match.
