Haha it will definitely be SA that gets screwed if this happens.

Could rain out and South Africa goes through due to better table position

Today it will be australia

The toss could decide the game like it did yesterday, you would think both teams would want to bat first even if there might be some rain forecast.

Basing a toss decision on possible rain could backfire if no rain arrives, hopefully we get a full game or close to it, a semi final decided by DLS isn't ideal.

Is there a reserve day if it is rained out?

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

I’m thinking Stoinis could be a valuable bowler in eden gardens. He should play

 

[loterry1994]

Aus will want rain anyway. There top 3 is in form theyd fancy a shortened chase more Theyve probably gone the hardest in the powerplays out of any team

Yes

Would also make Maxwell a bigger threat too if it became a glorified t20

 

[Molehill]

Good to see both semi final tosses being won by the top 2.

 

[Gob]

Well ****

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Great SA batting first

 

[Neil Young]

Not one single result will suprise me here. Can see either side winning a humping or a humdinger.

Yep, SA could just as easily score 150 as 350!!

 

[King Kane]

A good toss to win for South Africa, no surprise that they chose to bat first even with rain being a possible factor.

Hopefully that will provide a closer contest too, if South Africa had to chase it could have been a one sided game.

SA winning the toss and batting.

That wasn't in the script.

Weather looks a bit dodgy.

 

[Gob]

Well atleast it's overcast and the fact that a potentially shorter game helps the team batting second should negate the toss advantage to an extent

For the neutrals its good that SA batting first. They would have collapsed in heap batting second here in kolkata
