South Africa vs Australia Semi-Final Live Score, Cricket World Cup 2023: South Africa clash against five-time world champions Australia in the all-important semi-final of the ICC men’s World Cup 2023 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

South Africa, who finished second in the group stage with seven wins, will be wary of the Kangaroos, who bagged the same points but were at third with a lesser NRR of (+)0.841.

The Indian Express’ Sandip G will be covering the game from the venue in Kolkata.

After 16 years, this will be the first time that the Proteas face the Kangaroos in a 50-over World Cup knockout game. The last time these two sides met was back in 1999 and 2007. On both occasions, Australia emerged victorious. Meanwhile, amidst the threat of rain, Kolkata’s weather will be dry on Thursday, though it will witness passing clouds. The temperatures are expected to hover between 22-27 degrees Celcius.

Shane Warne, one of Australia’s greatest World Cuppers, had urged their floundering Ashes team of 2005 to bounce back with the epic quote: “Find a way to get back in to the game, find a way to build a partnership, find a way to get bowling partnerships, find a way to catch a ball, find a way to stop it.”

Australia’s five World Cup campaigns in the past have mostly been about ‘finding a way out’ of trouble. And this World Cup offered a fair few samples of how the Batch of 2023 have gone about doing it, with Adam Zampa, Pat Cummins and that other gent, Glenn Maxwell showing how it’s done.
