South Africa finished their group stage with the second spot in the points table. Barring the games against Netherlands and India, South Africa won all their matches in the group stage. Opting to bat first and posting huge total on the board seems to be the way Proteas go about their things. On a tricky wicket in Eden Gardens, it needs to be seen how good the batting of South Africa can be, against a good Australian attack.
Australia, on the other hand, did not have the greatest of starts. In their first two matches, Australia lost both their matches and were in deep trouble. Since then, it has been a one-way traffic for Australia, who have won all their matches since then. The winning streak of 7 wins on a row can be challe ged by South Africa in the big match. Australia has won some matches from impossible situations, which would give them a lot of confidence.

AUS vs SA: Pitch Report
Eden Gardens has been a tricky wicket to bat on in the ongoing tournament. The teams that have won the toss have opted to bat first, given the slow nature of the wicket. Boundaries are bigger and the outfield is quick. But the surface is dry, which assists the spinners well. The Pacers get some extra bounce and seam off the surface. There is not much swing early in the match.
Interestingly, teams batting first have found it easy to score runs. In the last 2 matches, the teams batting first have posted huge totals. India did that against South Africa and England did that against Pakistan. In both matches, the batting sides made the best use of the Powerplay overs and the death overs. In the middle overs, teams have struggled to score runs.
