They have looked like one of the most destructive batting units in the competition, and it will take something special to beat them.
Although South Africa finished above Australia in the group, but it is the Aussies who carry the most momentum into the knockout having won their last seven matches in a row. The Kangaroos had the worst possible start in their history of the tournament.
Team Squads
They lost the first two games and looked down and out for this edition, but their key stars showed their class, determination, and gradually returned into the run to the top four. They have peaked at the right time and look all set to play in their 10th World Cup final if things go in their favour in Kolkata.
The game is set to be a nail-biting watch.
