***Official***Semi-Final #2- South Africa vs Australia - November 16th - Eden Gardens, Kolkata (D/N)

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.

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

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.

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
