South Africa take on Australia in Kolkata in the second semi-final of the Cricket World Cup.
It’s 1999 all over again. These two have history in World Cup semi-finals, with the tied game in '99 remembered as one of the greatest cricket matches in history.
Cut to the present day and we’re in for another classic, with both teams boasting exciting line-ups full of powerful batting and skilled bowling.
South Africa finished above Australia in the group (second vs third), but it is the Aussies who carry the most momentum into the knockout having won their last seven matches in a row.
Their competition started with back-to-back defeats and a feeling of crisis surrounding the group, but now they are two matches away from winning a sixth ODI World Cup.
