SA vs AUS Live Cricket Score

5.4 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Fantastic catch from Pat Cummins and it's the big wicket of Quinton de Kock! South Africa's in-form batter succumbs to the pressure of dots! Josh Hazlewood continues from over the wicket and delivers it with a scrambled seam, on a length, outside off. The width on offer tempts Quinton de Kock and he goes through the line to go over the bowler. He does manage to get underneath the delivery but skies it high in the air towards mid on where Pat Cummins backpedals and keeps his eyes on the ball all the way through. He reverse cups it and the ball does not pop out when he tumbles backwards while completing the catch. Hazlewood dismisses de Kock for the eighth time in 15 meetings! 8/2

1 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Mitchell Starc strikes early and this is just the start Australia needed! Bowls this one much closer to the off stump, on a good length, a bit of inward movement, Temba Bavuma is drawn into the defence as he hangs his bat out without any foot movement and plays it away from the body as well. He gets an outside edge that is pouched safely by Josh Inglis low to his right. An early blow for South Africa as Temba Bavuma departs without troubling the scorers. 1/1

11.5 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! This time it goes straight into the bread basket of Steven Smith at second slip! This is a world-class spell from Josh Hazlewood and he picks up his second wicket as well. Bowls this one jus a fraction fuller and keeps it close to the off pole. Rassie van der Dussen is tentative to get on the front foot and ends up jabbing at it with hard hands. The ball takes the outside edge and goes straight to Smith who takes a sharp catch. South Africa in a spot of real bother now. 24/4

10.5 OUT! CAUGHT! The move to keep Mitchell Starc on for a prolonged spell has worked wonders and Aiden Markram is a goner. Starc pitches this one up outside off at 137.4 clicks, forcing the drive out of the batter. Markram goes after it but there's is just enough movement away off the deck which makes the ball take the outside edge of the bat and get sliced to the left of the point. David Warner there springs to his left and pouches it brilliantly with both hands. Just when it looked like the Proteas were getting back in the game, Starc has dealt them a big blow. 22/3

30.4 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Travis Head has the last laugh here as he sends Heinrich Klaasen packing! What a huge wicket this could turn out to be in the context of this game as well. Head tosses this one up on a fuller length and on off, not many revolutions on the ball but this one turns in a touch. Klaasen is the bearer of his own downfall as he opts to defend off the back foot and ends up playing inside the line. The ball beats the bat and crashes into the stumps and Head has broken the stand. 119/5

47.2 OUT! TAKEN! Straight to the man and Pat Cummins has his revenge! This is banged in short over middle by Cummins, pace on and asking David Miller to take it on again. Miller hangs deep and does go after it, getting a decent connection as well but this is flat and hard toward deep square leg. Travis Head there, stands right on the edge of the ropes and takes the catch but has the presence of mind to just lift it back in the air as his back leg presses onto the ropes and Head takes it on the second attempt with ease. End of a sensational knock by Miller but Australia just one wicket away now from bundling South Africa out. 203/9

30.5 OUT! LBW! A loud appeal and given! Travis Head with the golden arm and he has two in two but wait, Marco Jansen has reviewed it. This is tossed up again, on a shortish length and bowled from wider on the crease as well. The ball turns in a long way after pitching and Marco Jansen gets caught on the back foot. Jansen goes right across his stumps trying to work it away but gets rapped on the pads in front of the stumps. Nothing on UltraEdge and three reds come up on Ball Tracking. Head on a hat-trick here as South Africa are six down in a jiffy! 119/6

43.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! The short ball with pace does the trick for Pat Cummins! Bends his back and bangs it in short with pace behind it, directs it at the left shoulder of the batter, Gerald Coetzee gets caught by surprise and the ball gets big on him as he tries to pull it away. He ends up getting a glove on it and Josh Inglis behind the wicket, does the rest. Up goes the finger but Gerald Coetzee is a bit unsure. He has a long chat with David Miller and decides to keep walking. The replays show that Coetzee did not hit this and the ball had come off his left shoulder, wonder why he did not review this. A huge moment in the game! 172/7

46.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Mitchell Starc bowls to his field and picks up his third wicket! Comes from around the wicket and bowls it full and wide outside off. Keshav Maharaj stays leg side of the ball and reaches out, trying to get under it and get it over the infield but the ball goes off the toe end and gets lobbed up around mid off. Steven Smith takes a simple catch right on the edge of the circle and South Africa lose their eighth wicket. 191/8

49.4 OUT! TAKEN! Top effort in the deep from Glenn Maxwell and South Africa have been bundled out here! Another off-paced delivery from Pat Cummins, shorter and around off, Kagiso Rabada hangs back again and swats this one away flat down to long on. Maxwell speeds across to his right and dives in low to take it with both hands, making a fairly tough catch look easy. Cummins ends with three wickets and South Africa finish with 212 runs on the board, almost the same score as what Australia posted in the 1999 World Cup semifinal. 212/10

14.1 OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! Keshav Maharaj strikes with his first ball! Travis Head eventually runs out of luck as Australia lose their third wicket! Tosses it up, full and on off from over the wicket, Travis Head gets on the front foot to flick it away but fails to smother the spin by getting to the pitch of the ball. It dips on him and spins in sharply to beat him om the inside edge before clattering into the stumps. Encouraging signs for Keshav Maharaj with his very first delivery. 106/3

6.1 OUT! TIMBER! Aiden Markram strikes on the very first ball and the crowd comes alive at Eden Gardens. Starts from around the wicket and angles it in a lot fuller onto middle, trying to turn it away. David Warner looks to use the depth of the crease and hammer it through the off side but plays all around it and the ball just deviates a touch to beat the bat and crash into the stumps. Markram is pumped up and South Africa have their first wicket as Warner departs after a quick start. 60/1

7.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Probably the best catch you'll see this tournament and South Africa are right back in it. Kagiso Rabada bowls this one back of a length and around off, Mitchell Marsh stands tall and throws his hands at it, hitting it flat and to the right of covers. Rassie van der Dussen there just flies to his right and pouches it out of thin air with both hands while on the downward slope. Marsh simply cannot believe it and Rabada comes back strongly after that previous over. The crowd is absolutely buzzing now and we have a game on our hands! 61/2

33.3 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! The change of plan does the trick for Gerald Coetzee and South Africa! Gerald Coetzee pulls his length compared to the previous delivery and gets this one to angle across the right-hander, outside off, Steven Smith is waiting on the back foot for the bumper and goes for a swipe across the line. He pays the price for forcing it across the line as he skies it high in the Kolkata night sky but only as far as the stumps at the batting end. The man with the gloves, Quinton de Kock calls for the catch and keeps his eyes on the ball all the way through and snaffles it with both hands while diving forward to complete a pressure catch. Not the shot you associate with Steven Smith but has he given South Africa an opening with this error? 174/6

21.5 OUT! LBW! Another big shout from Tabraiz Shamsi for LBW and this time the finger is raised. Marnus Labuschagne has reviewed it but this one looks pretty straight. Shamsi tosses this one up around off stump, not too full and Labuschagne looks for the reverse sweep. Labuschagne is beaten on the flight and the ball spins in to ping him on the pads. There's nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking shows that the ball is clipping leg stump. Shamsi is all pumped up and Labuschagne has thrown his wicket away after all the hard work. South Africa with a narrow opening here. 133/4

23.4 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Shamsi Airways has lift-off! Tabraiz Shamsi very cleverly shortens the length and bowls it at just 85 clicks on middle, turning it in. Glenn Maxwell gets right back in his crease and makes room to pull it with the turn but is beaten all ends up as the ball sneaks under the bat and goes on to castle into middle and leg and Maxwell's poor form against the Proteas continues. An edgy Maxwell departs early and Tabraiz Shamsi has run the entire length of the ground in ecstacy. Eden Gardens is rocking now! 137/5

39.5 OUT! BOWLED'EM! It's Gerald Coetzee again who breathes life back into the game for South Africa! Continues to vary his length and bowls it on a fullish length, on off and middle, Josh Inglis hangs back in his crease expecting another bumper and as a result, his weight is on the back foot. He is late to bring his bat down in time and even though he manages to get some bat on it. The ball deflects off the bottom edge of his bat and trickles onto the back pad before going on to hit the stumps. The crowd have found their voices again as Josh Inglis departs with Australia still 20 runs away.A huge blow for Australia as Josh Inglis walks back with 193/7
