Australia's young cricketers are gearing for an intense battle with South Africa in their semi-final at the ICC Under-19 World Cup in Dubai.
The Australians overcame a shaky tournament start, including a shock loss to Afghanistan, to top their pool with wins over Bangladesh and Namibia and a quarter-final five-wicket victory over the West Indies.
But they know they face a huge challenge when they meet South Africa on Wednesday with a berth in Saturday's final against Pakistan at stake.
Australia played two matches against the South African U19s during an International Youth Series in India last year and lost both times.
However, opening batsman Jarod Morgan said that experience would stand them in good stead.
"Everyone's pretty excited," said South-African born Morgan, whose family moved to Australia when he was three.
"We've played them before so we know what to expect and how they'll be - pretty intense and disciplined.
"I think we've got to keep it as simple as we can, play to our strengths, and the runs will come."
