Australia vs South Africa Quick links

If any reminder was needed that Australia cricket's very DNA contains the code to "getting it done", their impressive win over England was that. Missing their holy trinity of seamers, they restricted the old enemy's batters to a par 350, before Josh Inglis's superb century led a cool, collected run chase to win it with 15 balls to spare.

South Africa's defeat of Afghanistan was a wholly easier affair. Opener Ryan Rickelton got things started the right way with his maiden ODI ton, before the bowlers each chipped in to leave the opponents bowled out 107 short.

It may not be a vintage looking South Africa XI, but Kagiso Rabada is a generational talent with the ball and the likes of Aiden Markram and David Miller can hurt even the best attacks in the world.

Can they upset the Aussies in Rawalpindi? Whoever wins Tuesday's encounter guarantees their place in the final four, so keep reading for all the information you need to live stream Australia vs South Africa and watch cricket online or on TV.
