South Africa vs Australia Prediction: Cricket World Cup Semi-Final Preview
Semi-Final Preview South Africa vs Australia 2023
On November 16, at Kolkata's Eden Garden, the Temba Bavuma-led South Africa and Pat Cummins-led Australia, the five-time world champions, will square off in a historic semi-final of the ongoing ICC men's World Cup 2023.
South Africa won seven of the nine league games played and placed second in the group stage. With a net run rate (NRR) of (+)1.261, they had 14 points.
Australia, with the same points as the Proteas but a lower NRR of (+)0.841, is ranked third. However, because the semi-final is a knockout round, the NRR will only be used if the match is unexpectedly called off, and the team with the higher NRR advances to the championship.
Discard all of your preconceived notions about luck and form, as well as the myth that the strongest team will always prevail on the day. Instead, embrace a situation where South Africa's muscle memory will feel as though it is pulled backwards through time and space by invisible strings with every twitch (because, let's face it, this is all about them). from 2003 to 2015, from 2007 to 2007. Through 1992 and 1999 and back into the formless emptiness that was the source of all their World Cup suffering.
It's absurdly unjust. It is premonition written in history. When South Africa's hopes of winning the World Cup come crashing down, a thousand "I told you sos" will inevitably chant in unison. It's an ugly and undignified moment.
