Preview
South Africa are scheduled to face-off Australia in the second semi-final of the ODI World Cup 2023 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Analysis
The batting department of South Africa has attained great success in the ODI World Cup 2023, with the likes of Quinton de Kock, Heinrich Klaasen, and Aiden Markram being the most consistent among all. The bowling department of the Proteas has had Gerald Coetzee and Keshav Maharaj picking up the bulk of the wickets, helping them secure a spot in the semi-final of the CWC 2023.
Meanwhile, the Australian batting lineup has been bolstered immensely with the match-winning double hundred from Glenn Maxwell against Afghanistan recently in ODI World Cup 2023, while the big names including David Warner and Mitchell Marsh are already in good form at the top of the order. Adam Zampa, the highest wicket-taker in the CWC 2023 currently, has received tremendous support from the rest of the Aussie bowling lineup.
