AUS beat SA by 3 wickets, to face IND in finals

Rain appeared two overs later, and after 14 overs, South Africa was 44/4. After a little more than 50 minutes, the game continued with no overs lost. Before the Proteas launched their counterattack and applied some pressure to the Australians, Miller and Klaasen calmed the ship. In the 31st over, Travis Head removed Klaasen for 47 off 48, bringing the stand to 95 in 113. The very next ball, he got Marco Jansen off, and Australia quickly regained their lead. After that, Miller had capable company in Gerald Coetzee, with whom he scored 53 runs for the seventh wicket. Miller batted with the tail to eventually put up a gritty century after Coetzee fell for 19 quickly. Shortly after, at 101 from 116 balls, he fell, and in the last over, South Africa were all out for 212.
