Australia will play India in Sunday’s Cricket World Cup final after squeezing past South Africa by three wickets in a gripping clash in Kolkata.
In stark contrast with Wednesday’s run-fest in Mumbai, where the hosts toppled New Zealand in the first semi-final, the second was a low-scoring affair full of twists and turns as Australia made hard work of their pursuit of 213, eventually steered home by Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc with 16 balls to spare.
