South Africa vs Australia Match Prediction: SA vs AUS Who will Win

The campaigns of both South Africa and Australia have been quite decent thus far in this World Cup. The Proteas have won seven matches while Australia also managed the same number of victories in the group stages. For the Aussies, the form has been a consistent partner after two initial debacles in the first two matches. They have won 7 matches in a row and are looking formidable at the moment.

The Proteas, on the other hand, also managed seven victories and their two defeats came in the hands of the Netherlands and India. Earlier in the tournament, South Africa got the better of Australia and won by a huge margin of 134 runs. Hence, they will be taking all the confidence from their earlier victory over the five-time world champions.

Considering the conditions in Kolkata, this match promises to be an enticing encounter and will be a close affair. But our prediction tilts it in favour of Australia, because of their dominating form and the prior experience of winning semifinals and grinding out results from the same situation in the past.
