Australia Will Face South Africa in ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Semi-Final
The ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 semi-finals are all set, featuring an enticing clash between Australia and South Africa. The group stage of the tournament has concluded, and the first three spots in the semi-finals have been firmly claimed. India secured the top spot with an impeccable unbeaten record, while South Africa followed as the second qualifying team. The latest team to secure their semi-final berth is Australia, largely thanks to a stellar performance by Glenn Maxwell against Afghanistan at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Maxwell's extraordinary innings, where he crafted an unbeaten ODI double century, scoring 201 runs from just 128 balls, included 21 boundaries and 10 sixes. This outstanding performance not only led Australia to victory but also granted them two vital points, making them the third team to reach the semi-finals.
With three of the four semi-final positions now filled, the competition for the remaining spot is intense. New Zealand, Pakistan, and Afghanistan are locked in the battle for the final spot. New Zealand appears to have the upper hand due to their favorable net run rate, but cricket's unpredictability keeps the outcome uncertain. According to the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 schedule, the first semi-final is scheduled for November 15 at the Wankhede Stadium, where the top-ranked team will face the fourth-ranked team, setting the stage for a potential India match against one of the three remaining teams.

In the second semi-final, the second-ranked team will take on the third-ranked team, creating a highly anticipated clash between South Africa and Australia. This exciting match is slated for November 16 at the historic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. It's worth noting that these two teams met during the group stage, with South Africa securing a convincing 134-run victory over Australia. However, Australia's strong track record in knockout matches promises an electrifying AUS vs. SA semi-final at Eden Gardens that cricket enthusiasts worldwide are eagerly awaiting.
