    Was going to say the biggest danger to India is themselves but Kohli has just gone .

    Fairly easy win for India in the end

    Yes - bit of a scare for a bit but they mopped up the last few wickets easily .

    Early doors I suppose, but Australia already giving the SAfricans a hard time - 10/2 after 8 overs.

    Lucky buggers.

    Bit of a recovery now.

    SA won the toss and decided to bat?

    Guess they feel conditions might get worse ..

    Miller got his century just in time - caught trying for another boundary. SA 203/9 - it remains to be seen if that's a competitive score...

    212 all out. Can't see that being a winning score, but you never know.

    Beginning to look like you're right - it's a spinner's paradise. Australia 137/5

    Not the match I was expecting.

    Still think the Aussies will do it .

    Don’t have to take risks whereas SA do.

    EDIT: 7 down though !

    Will any Australian fans be allowed at the final ?!

    Phew - did it. A few squeaky bum moments though.

    After India's antics over the pitches, I hope the Aussies thrash them

    Actually turned out to be a good race - no doubt Verstappen likes it now.

    Aussies win the toss and put India in.

    Hopefully they will get some early wickets .

    Three down now - 81/3.
    Brilliant diving catch by Travis Head to remove Sharma, the Indian danger man - certainly made 110k Indians shut up.

    Similar score to what NZ got in 2019.

    Aussies been excellent and justified bowling first.

    Well the Aussie bowlers did their bit - I just hope that the Indian ones can't do theirs...

    Read a few comments, that the pitch is not conducive to large scores. We will see, or rather I will follow on texts.
