Today is going to be the biggest upset match of the World Cup. Anyone who doesn't have the habit of watching overnight matches, you have a wonderful opportunity. For the first time in this World Cup and after winning streak of 26 World Cup matches, World No:1 Aussies is going to be humbled by the underdogs - South Africa. This is not just another dumb day dream.. This is the rule today... Aussies domination of World Cricket that got started with their Semifinal tie in 1999 World cup against the Proteas is going to be ended by the SemiFinal match of 2007 against the same team. South Africans are under no pressure, they are the team least favored. They will do it!!!

Good, if SA upsets Oz, then sure the cup will be lifted by SL for the second time, thats for sure.

We can not say like that.... Toss has a very big impact on winning matches in this WC... Most probably, the team batting first will win the match, if they play cautiously in the first 10-15 overs...

So far, in all the matches, Aus has thrashed its opponents. SA can win today, if it does not lose a single wicket in 50 overs. But, that is impossible. This hope is worse than India wanting to win WC.

If SA is batting first today and posting a decent total, then, they will be the finalists...

agreed that Oz good team, but it is not unbeatable. NZ, SA & England beaten them recently don't forget that. Cricket is a crazy game and all depends on how the players perform on that day. Do you remember Bangladesh beat Oz last year.

Today, in the World Cup, how can we expect SA (ranked 4) to win against Aus (ranked 1)?

If SA doesnt lose more than 3 wickets in the first 40 overs they will beat the Aussies... If they beat the Aussies today, Sri Lanka will beat them in the final. If Aussies beat SA today, they will go on to win the World Cup this time

Smith and deVilliers will compete with each other in getting out in minimum balls.
