South Africa will take on five-time champions Australia in today’s (November 16) do-or-die Cricket World Cup semi-final showdown at Eden Gardens.

South Africa faced a defeat against Australia 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.

Australia skipper Pat Cummins said his players will draw on experience from previous title wins in their World Cup semi-final clash with South Africa, spurred on by Glenn Maxwell's heroics having given them "an extra leg".

The Proteas finished second in the league phase behind host nation India, suffering just two losses along the way. They have looked like one of the most destructive batting units in the competition, and it will take something special to beat them.

Although South Africa finished above Australia in the group, but it is the Aussies who carry the most momentum into the knockout having won their last seven matches in a row. The Kangaroos had the worst possible start in their history of the tournament.

They lost the first two games and looked down and out for this edition, but their key stars showed their class, determination, and gradually returned into the run to the top four. They have peaked at the right time and look all set to play in their 10th World Cup final if things go in their favour in Kolkata.

The game is set to be a nail-biting watch, and here are all the details on how you can watch it...
