Australia have survived another collapse on a spinning sub-continent pitch to sneak into the World Cup final against India with a nervy three-wicket win over South Africa in Kolkata.
Cruising at 0-60 in pursuit of 213 for victory in the semi-final on Thursday, Australia lost 5-67 before the experience of Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins dragged them across the line with 16 balls to spare
It came after crucial contributions from Steve Smith and the inexperienced Josh Inglis, who steadied the ship to help condemn South Africa to a fifth semi-final exit without ever reaching a decider.
