RSA Vs AUS Match Preview
South Africa will lock horns with Australia in a blockbuster semi-final at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Wednesday. Both teams have enjoyed a very successful campaign so far, winning seven out of their respective nine matches.
Australia started the tournament pretty poorly, losing their first couple of matches in a disappointing way. But they bounced back in style and won seven matches on the trot.
South Africa, on the other hand, have delivered strong performances as well but they collapsed against India and also against a team like Netherlands, who are considered far inferior in quality as a side.
South Africa Preview
The Proteas are coming into this semi-final on the back of some very impressive performances in the league stage. Although they did collapse against India and Netherlands, their batting did fire on all cylinders in every other game.
The bowlers have also stepped up very well, picking up wickets and keeping the flow of runs in check in almost every department. But they need to be careful as they can't afford any more slip ups like they did against India and Netherlands.
It's not going to be easy against a mighty Australian team and they need to be at their best again if they want to qualify for the final.

Quinton de Kock is South Africa's highest run-scorer in this World Cup with 591 runs to his name, including four centuries. He is expected to take the attack on to the Australian bowlers in this match.

Australia Preview
Australia are on a seven-match winning run now. They haven't lost any match after losing their first two matches. The only time they came close to losing was during their match against Afghanistan, where they found themselves at 91/7 while chasing 292.
