Check out all the details related to South Africa vs Australia semifinal match in ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 which will be played in Kolkata.
South Africa is gearing up for a crucial match against Australia at Eden Gardens, hoping to secure a place in the final on November 19. While South Africa faced challenges at this venue earlier in the tournament against India, Australia is set to play here for the first time, giving the Proteas an edge in understanding the conditions.
However, there's a potential for rain interruptions due to a cyclone forming in the Bay of Bengal. In the event of the match being washed out on both the scheduled day and the reserve day, South Africa would clinch the victory, having finished higher on the points table than Australia.
