Australia captain Michael Clarke warned his side were yet to play their perfect game in the World Cup , despite booking their spot in Sunday 's final with a 95-run victory over defending champions India . Steven Smith clocked his first World Cup century on Thursday , his 105 off just 93 balls propelling Australia to 328 for seven , with opener Aaron Finch kicking on to 81 after a slow start . It meant India 's run-chase was under pressure from the start , and , barring skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni 's run-a-ball 65 , Australia had a relatively easy route to the finish line and now have the chance for a fifth World Cup title when they face co-hosts New Zealand . Michael Clarke and his Australia team-mates celebrate during their World Cup victory over India on Thursday . Clarke shakes hand with Indian players after the 95-run win that saw Australia progress to the final . Mitchell Johnson celebrates after taking the wicket of India 's Virat Kholi at the Sydney Cricket Ground . The Black Caps are the only unbeaten team of the tournament so far , having trumped Australia as well in the pool stages , but Clarke said on Sky Sports World Cup : 'We 're playing some really good cricket at the moment . 'Losing to New Zealand gave us that kick up the backside . I still do n't think we 've played the perfect game yet . I think we 've improved every game and now we 're excited to be in the final . ' I think the boys have played some outstanding cricket . Smithy was exceptional once again . He 's hitting the ball so sweetly , and I 'm really proud of the execution under pressure there from our bowlers . ' Smith 's century comes in a tournament that has already seen him make scores of 95 , 72 and 65 , and the stand-in Test captain hopes there is plenty left in the bag for Sunday . 'Another big hundred would be nice , ' he said . 'It 's nice to contribute to a few wins . It was a pretty big stage , the semi-final of a World Cup . I 'm just happy that we got over the line in the end . ' Steve Smith plays a fine shot on his way to a 100 against India in the Cricket World Cup semi-final . The all-rounder raises his bat to a bumper crowd after reaching his century on Thursday . Dhoni , meanwhile , feels his side can walk away with their heads held high after a World Cup that belied many pre-tournament expectations . India came into the showpiece on the back of a disappointing tour of Australia , with no competitive wins to their name , but marched to the knockout phase by topping their pool and then easily beat Bangladesh . 'Overall , I 'm quite happy , ' Dhoni said . 'Where we were at the start of the tournament , a lot of people did n't think we 'd get this far . 'At the same time , when you come to the knockout stages you have to lift your game . 'There were too many ( runs ) to chase . If you lose quite a few wickets and you 're supposed to chase over six runs an over ... Our lower order , I do n't think they can contribute as much in these conditions . 'Overall , it 's good exposure for them . Maybe next time , in other conditions , they 'll know how to bat and do better . ' Dhoni was undecided when asked after the match whether this would be his last World Cup . ' I 'm not sure about that , ' he said . ' I 'm 33 , I 'm still running , I 'm still fit . 'But I 'll have a ( think in a ) year 's time . Maybe next year during the T20 World Cup I would like to decide if I can continue until the 2019 World Cup or not . ' Mahendra Singh Dhoni admits India did n't get enough runs on the board during the first innings .
