The match officials have been announced for this week’s ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 semi-finals. 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 in the middle when the two sides met in the group stage, a match England won by 10 wickets, while she also oversaw South Africa’s victory against Pakistan.
Williams was in charge for two matches apiece involving the two teams in the group stage – South Africa’s successes against India and Bangladesh, and England’s victory over India and defeat against Australia.
Vrinda Rathi is in place as third umpire, with Claire Polosak as fourth umpire and GS Lakshmi of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees as the referee for the match.
Attentions then turn to Navi Mumbai, where Lauren Agenbag and Sue Redfern will be in the middle for reigning champions Australia against hosts India.
South African Agenbag is no stranger to the Indian side, having overseen their group clashes against Pakistan, New Zealand and Bangladesh, while Redfern was among the on-field umpires for the group stage match between the two nations, when Alyssa Healy’s sparkling century led Australia to the highest successful run chase in women’s ODIs.
They are joined by Kim Cotton as third umpire, Nimali Perera as fourth umpire and Michell Pereira as match referee.
