Match Preview
We will have five-time champions Australia locking horns with South Africa in the second semi-final clash of the ODI World Cup 2023. After a thrilling and highly-anticipated first semifinal clash between the hosts and New Zealand, the action will shift to India’s oldest stadium, Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Australia have won seven out of their nine matches, levelling the Proteas in their league-stage record of the tournament.
Toss Prediction
All the teams have locked horns once during the league stage of the ODI World Cup 2023 and so have South Africa and Australia. During that match, it was the Aussie captain Pat Cummins who came on top of the toss war. For the upcoming game, the second semi-final match, we think luck would back Temba Bavuma and he will win the toss battle over his rival captain.
Win Possibility
Australia and South Africa have faced each other in 109 ODI fixtures, where the Proteas enjoy an edge over their counterparts. While the Baggy Greens have won 50 matches, South Africa came out victorious in 55 games. Speaking of the ongoing season of the marquee ICC event, Temba Bavuma and Co. registered a 134-run win over Pat Cummins’ side.
However, despite a shaky start, the 5-time champions redeemed themselves as one of the tournament favourites. The way they have performed in the later stage of the contest makes them favourites to win the upcoming game, against South Africa.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
South Africa will play Australia in the second semi-final clash of the CWC 2023 at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Speaking of its overall record, the oldest cricket stadium in India has hosted a total of 31 ODI matches so far. The average first-inning score of the venue is 236. For the forthcoming match, we think the first-inning score is likely to be around 305 -315, while the powerplay score will be 45-50.
