Hyderabad: The match officials for this week’s ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 semi-finals have been announced.
Eloise Sheridan and Jacquline Williams of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Umpires will be the on-field umpires for England’s clash with South Africa in Guwahati.
Sheridan was the on-field umpire when the two sides met in the group stage, a match England won by 10 wickets. She also oversaw South Africa’s victory against Pakistan.
Williams was in charge for two matches each involving the two teams in the group stage – South Africa’s victories over India and Bangladesh, and England’s win over India and loss to Australia.
Vrinda Rathi will serve as third umpire, with Claire Polosak as fourth umpire, and GS Lakshmi of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees will be the referee for the match.
The focus then shifts to Navi Mumbai, where Lauren Agenbag and Sue Redfern will be the on-field umpires for the reigning champions Australia’s match against hosts India.
South African Agenbag is no stranger to the Indian team, having umpired their group clashes against Pakistan, New Zealand, and Bangladesh, while Redfern was among the on-field umpires during the group stage match between the two nations, when Alyssa Healy’s sparkling century helped Australia chase down the highest total in women’s ODIs.
They are joined by Kim Cotton as third umpire, Nimali Perera as fourth umpire, and Michell Pereira as match referee.
