Result of Game 2:
2nd Semi-final:
South Africa 149 (43.5 ov)
Australia 153/3 (31.3 ov)
Australia won by 7 wickets (with 111 balls remaining)
"Once again, South Africa were not able to play their best game in a big match. It was South Africa's lowest one-day score in a World Cup. Their top order combusted and eight of their batsmen got themselves out. It was a massive under-performance that added to the emptiness of the World Cup. Their reputation will persist."
"A clinical performance from the defending champions and the dominated this game from the off. The last few hours have been pretty poor for neutrals, dreadful for South Africans, but that's not Australia's fault. They have done the business and will meet Sri Lanka on Saturday in a re-match of the 1996 final."
