On the other side South Africa missed catches, maybe those catches could also changed the match. Anyhow the fight between India and Australia is expected to be a better one than this match.

South Africa missed a few catches which could have cost them the match as South African bowlers were able to trouble the Australian batsman with testing deliveries and then they missed some half chances and with a really small total to defend they needed to take all the opportunities to put pressure back on Australia but they somehow was able to score the winning runs and yet another final.

in 2nd Semi-Final of icc Cricket World Cup at Eden Gardens, Australia secured a excellent victory by 3 wickets win over South Africa, qualifying to the Cricket World Cup final against India. South Africa Score: 212 all out 48th overs of match. Top Scorer of match is David Miller 101 runs and Key Contributions of Klaasen 47 runs. But Despite David Miller excellent century, and klaasen contribution the South Africa total of only 212 proved challenging to defend against Australia.

Obviously, the Australian team has worked hard. The South African batsmen would have scored more runs if they worked hard, but they did not work hard and will lose. Both those batsmen were working hard.But luck was not with the South African team.Other batsman could not with David Miller and klaasen. Due to which they lost this match.Obviously Australia team is very big team this target was very easy. Which they could easily complete.

This is wrong because every team works hard enough to reach the final from the semi-finals. How hard South Africa worked against Australia but unfortunately they couldn't match Australia. Every team wants to collect a good score but if the opposition is bowling well then it becomes very difficult for the batsmen to increase the runs. South African batsman Miller tried hard enough to put up a big score but the other batsmen were under pressure and could not get out and score too many runs. But the Australian players were also under good pressure every batsman worked hard but no one could score a century but eventually they got the win. Anyway both teams tried to play semi-final to final in World Cup but unfortunately Australia went to final but South Africa could go. Basically here we can say that South Africa didn't really have a World Cup final in front of them due to which they lost against Australia.
