Thursday TV Ratings: Bleary-Eyed Viewers Watch As Australia Make It To Cricket World Cup Final!

It may have been a late one, but it didn’t stop swarms of Aussies tuning in to Nine last night to watch Australia’s nail-biting game against South Africa.

A total of 592,000 metro Aussies signed up to watch the semi-final last night. Whilst they may be tired today, they are unlikely to regret the decision with the home side beating South Africa by three wickets.

It is now the third time that Australia has knocked South Africa out at the semi-finals (the others in 1999 and 2007) so expect some frosty stares from any South Africans you might know.

The win puts Australia in the final with host nation India on Sunday.

Given the cricket’s success, it is unsurprising that Nine won the night by a landslide – securing a 40.1 per cent channel share. It was followed by Seven with 22.7 per cent, the ABC with 15.5 per cent, Network 10 with 14.7 per cent and SBS with 7.0 per cent.

Elsewhere a total of 426,000 metro viewers signed up to watch The Chase on Seven and 420,000 watched Home and Away.
