Australia vs South Africa, ICC World Cup Semi-final: When and where to watch, live streaming, head-to-head record, likely playing eleven

NEW DELHI: Australia, who have won the ODI World Cup five times, faced a defeat against South Africa in the league stage. But the Aussies have been a different team since their two opening defeats, winning their next seven matches to storm into the semis; and they will have a contest on hand in their semi-final against the Proteas, who have been the second most consistent team in the tournament.

South Africa finished No. 2 on the points table, a spot ahead of Australia.

Despite a recent ODI series loss to South Africa in September, Australia have a strong track record against their rivals, having triumphed over them twice in World Cup semi-finals.





The upcoming contest, however, faces a threat from rain, as downpours are predicted in the eastern city on Thursday and the reserve day on Friday.

As far as the head-to-head numbers for Australia vs South Africa in ODIs are concerned, here's the record:

Matches: 109
Australia won: 50
