How they got there

India were dominant in the group stage. Rohit Sharma's side swept the competition aside, winning all nine of their group-stage games. Virat Kohli and Mohammed Shami then starred to lead them past New Zealand in the semi-final.

South Africa finished second after winning seven of their nine matches. They showed impressive batting power when batting first but were less convincing when asked to chase, suffering a shock loss to the Netherlands and a big defeat by India.

After a slow start in which they lost to India and South Africa, Australia found form and won their next seven on the trot, including the thrilling Glenn Maxwell-inspired chase against Afghanistan to seal their place in the top four.

When is the Cricket World Cup final?
