In the second semi-final of the ICC World Cup, South Africa won the toss and chose to bat first.
At the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, Tumba Bauma, the captain of the South African team, won the toss and opted to bat.
Australian captain Pat Cummins mentioned that he would have preferred winning the toss and batting, but he aims to dismiss the South African team early to secure the win.
Both teams have made a single change in their playing XI. Tabriz Shamsi has replaced Lungi Ngidi in the South African team, while Marcus Stoinis returns to the Australian squad in place of Marnus Labuschagne.
The likelihood of rain during the match has decreased from 50% to 35%.
Australian squad:
Captain Pat Cummins, David Warner, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis, Marcus Stoinis, Sean Abbott, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood
South Africa squad:
Captain Tumba Bauma, Aiden Markram, Quinton de Kock, Rassie van der Dussen, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi
