Updates from the match at Rawalpindi Cricket StadiumPlay starts at 2pm local/8pm AEDT/9am GMT
Hello and welcome to live coverage of Australia v South Africa in Rawalpindi. No major tournament is complete without these two old rivals flexing their guns at each other. Australia have generally had the better of South Africa when it really matters, winning World Cup semi-finals in 1999, 2007 and 2023, but it does feel like South Africa are very close to leaving the ghosts of World Cup past behind.
South Africa have a formidable team and beat Afghanistan with the ease in their opening group game. Australia had to work harder to beat England, chasing 352 on the back of a stunning century from Josh Inglis.
