Both Australia and South Africa on 12 points at the moment, no other team behind them will get to 12 points, so this is our second semi-final in the fixture.

This one should be a no-brainer for the Aussies should they win the toss.

Feels like Ireland in the rugby world cup - perennial knockout losers qualified well, but only won the prize of playing a 'weak' edition of a champion team.

Football heritage. Sri Lanka had them ready to go, and in two life-and-death games, today and New Zealand, they got over the line. They won the 20/20 WC a couple of years ago with no fanfare heading in and they can certainly win this one as well.

I don't think this will be a choke, SA are just going to crumble under pressure and not even compete. Especially if they're chasing

Its not gonna be a choke... the fallibilities of this SA team has been well documented, what's been impressive is the form the SA top 6 have shown, which few expected, but they are always liable to just crumble, pressure or not... been doing that for years in all formats, consistently.

That's... sort of the definition of a choke.

My definition of a choke is to be in a winning position and then choke away that position which means team would've been competitive or even better than other team for most parts

SA surely start as favourites given the form their top six is in, and our pacers not quite being at their best.
