The Proteas possess better quality and skill than the Aussies. However, the Aussies have a superior mental capacity/toughness, especially in knockout games. It should be a cracker of a semi-final today, weather dependant! #SAvAUS #ICCWorldCup2023

One of the most endearing trend on X in this #CWC23 is the admiration and adulation Rohit is getting for his selfless batting to set the tone of the match. It’s not often that 40s are celebrated in our country. Extremely matured response from the cricket watching audience 👏👏

Plenty of fond memories with Australia playing South Africa in a #ICCWC semi-final.
SA have won 16 of the last 20 #ODI outings but this is a #WorldCup, Australia will present very differently. #AUSvSA— Tom Moody (@TomMoodyCricket) November 16, 2023
