Australia win by 95 runs to reach final
Faulkner 3-59, Starc 2-28, Johnson 2-50
Dhoni top-scored for India with 65
Smith 105 & Finch 81 for Australia
Australia face NZ in Melbourne on Sunday
Comedian Andy Zaltzman:, external Smith at no.3 in ODIs since October: 101, 12, 77, 102*, 40, 95, 72, 65, and 74* so far today. The way he is batting, it looks like he could hit an egg for six over mid wicket without it breaking.
Finch, less convincing than his partner, has been the subject of more lbw appeals in this tournament than anyone else (six before today) - and he survives yet another, despite the enthusiasm of the bowler, as India have no more reviews left. It looked a little high, perhaps.
Sportsgamer: Australia to score 350 or so unless wickets start to fall.
Priyam: Australia batting us out of the match now. If we don't get a wicket, we'll be chasing 350+.
Marty McElwee: The Indian bowling attack have tried everything. Aussies having no problems. 400?

"Steve Smith has been batting like Bradman this summer. The scores he has churned out have been incredible."
The SCG DJ plays an up-tempo version of Men At Work's omnipresent "Down Under" song as Smith crashes Mohit for another four wide of mid-on - his eighth four. A single takes him to 85 from 82 balls, racing along.

"This is a beauty of a platform for Australia. They used to say you can double the score after 30 overs - I reckon nowadays with the powerplay and the fielding restrictions you can double it after 35. You're almost guaranteed 100 in the last 10 overs."

Australia 155-1 (30 overs)
Batsmen: Finch 56*, Smith 80*
Fall of wickets: 15-1 (Warner 12)
Bowling figures: Shami 5-0-16-0, Yadav 5-0-39-1, Mohit Sharma 5-0-25-0, Kohli 1-0-7-0, Jadeja 7-0-37-0, Ashwin 7-0-26-0
Australia won toss
The Aussie 12th man brings a change of gloves before Ashwin skips in for his seventh over, he does wonders for India's over-rate with six rapid deliveries of off-spin which momentarily puts the brakes on - just two singles from the over. But the lack of progress in the wickets column remains a concern for India.

"This will be an interesting duel. I think it's a clever move by Dhoni - you'll see something develop because Smith, in the form that he is in, will not just stand there and let Mohit bowl to him. He could hit one to extra cover, he could hit two sixes - but at least you're making a play in the game."
And just like that, India make a change as Jadeja gets the hook and seamer Mohit Sharma returns. Steve Smith, having re-donned his dark green helmet, plays and misses at the first ball of Mohit's new spell, trying to force the ball through the off side.
But normal service is resumed as Smith, already on his best ODI score on this ground, guides him through extra cover though the sweeper picks it up and restricts him to two. A single brings the gum-chewing Finch on strike, he knocks a quick one to mid-wicket, and Smith moves to 79 by clipping a two off his legs.

"It will come as no great surprise to learn that two thirds of Steven Smith's runs have been scored on the leg side. He has been fluent, Finch staccato.
"The sight of the ball passing the outside edge is a rare one, but still draws a cheer from the ever-hopeful India fans. They have been cheering for everything, mind, even when a review of an lbw shows there was no inside edge."
Craig Murray: 50 from 82. You can tell Finch has signed to play in England.
India are trying to rattle through these middle overs with their two front-line spinners, but I wonder if they'll need to try something different as Australia look perfectly at home here, and have even quietened the Indian fans a little. Four from the over.
Naveed Afzal: This is fantastically poised. Finch is very lucky that Steve Smith is batting with him. He's batting for two here.
Callum Reid: Watching the cricket from Sakhalin (glamorously described as a Russian island off the Siberian coast)!
Smith tucks into Jadeja, flicking him through the leg side for four with a shot not totally dissimilar to Kevin Pietersen's "flamingo" shot off one leg.

"It will be interesting to see what Finch does now. I think that little devil on the shoulder might whisper in his ear, 'Time to to go now, Finchy'."

Still hot and sunny at the SCG - and the sun shines on Aaron Finch as he knocks a single through the covers to bring up his seventh ODI fifty from 82 balls. Not the fireworks we know he can produce, but an important innings in the circumstances.
Image source, AFPGraham, Auckland: Fate is set, host nations to battle it out for the World Cup. You heard it here first.
Smith pushes Ashwin for a single, Finch adds a couple more off the last ball and he's on 49 - which, for those of you who note such ephemera, is also Smith's ODI shirt number.
Kevin Pietersen
Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special
"That was a heart-in-mouth moment for Aaron Finch, that's not what you want when you're playing yourself back in to form. I think he's doing a real good job: he's doing a holding role, a Faf du Plessis-style role, letting the other batters bat around him."
