While South Africa have ensured a maiden spot in the final after beating Pakistan in the Boxing Day Test in Centurion, Australia have boosted their chances significantly and are just one win away (from their upcoming three games) to guarantee their spot at Lord's.
Addressing reporters ahead of the final Test, Australia keeper-batter Alex Carey was proud of how the side had turned up in recent encounters but added that the Aussies were taking it one step at a time.
"[It would be a] reward for 24 months of really solid cricket, [It is] a group that is extremely experienced, [with] skilful Australian legends amongst it, who are continuing to surprise us with how good they are. But we can't look too far ahead." said Carey.
