After low-scoring thriller at Eden, over to Motera for a 2003 rematch

Australia reach 8th ODI World Cup final beating South Africa, set up final against India in Ahmedabad

- 

It had to be 213. Not, say, 83 which looked so likely after South Africa were 24/4. Or 207, because who else can hit a monstrous six after David Miller holes out at deep square-leg? Say hello to Kagiso Rabada. Australia must be thanking their stars for Travis Head who is hardwired to bat just one way. But this wasn't for the faint-hearted, warned South Africa when Tabraiz Shamsi skidded out Marnus Labuschagne and Glenn Maxwell before taking off on a never-ending celebratory sprint. Once Steve Smith speared Gerald Coetzee, South Africa knew they were in with a real chance.

Now say hello to Pat Cummins. Overlook that economy of 5.27 even though he did take three wickets, including that of Miller. But set in folklore now is that catch of Quinton de Kockpedalling backwards, eyes peeled on the ball, catching it and then holding onto it for dear life even when he had to take a tumble. Equally legendary now is his 29-ball vigil, guiding Australia from 193/7 to their eighth World Cup final appearance with a boundary off Jansen.

Kolkata didn't go back in time to become Birmingham but at least South Africa didn't lose before losing.

With 1999 (the semi-final between the sides ended in a tie and Australia proceeded to the final after finishing higher in the Super 6 table) out of the way, Australia set up a final against India. It will see two sides that last clashed in the final in 2003, face-off in the big match to win the original World Cup.
