SA vs AUS Match Preview

Australia and South Africa meet in Lucknow at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Match 10 of the 2023 Cricket World Cup. Australia, which has won the Cricket World Cup five times in a row, trailed India by six wickets with 52 balls remaining on Sunday in Chennai. They had their moments against India, but they were unable to perform well enough across the board to get off to a winning start in the 2023 Cricket World Cup. South Africa is confident in this format and has players who are fully fit and capable of delivering with both bat and ball. The group will be full of confidence after defeating Australia 3-2 in the recent ODI series.

Topmost Picks for SA vs AUS Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – South Africa

• Quinton de Kock – The keeper-batter hit 12 fours and three sixes at the top of the order against Sri Lanka. He has performed at the top level for the past ten years and he will relish this clash against Australia in Lucknow.
• Marco Jansen – Marco Jansen looks in good form with the bat and ball. He smashed a six and remained not-out and then he picked 2 wickets with the ball but went little expensive

Top Picks – Australia

• David Warner – The 36 year old will be turning 37 over the next seven days but is still producing the goods on a very regular basis. This will be his 150th ODI innings and he currently averages 45.02 in this format.
• Mitchell Starc – The left-arm pace bowler showed he still has the ability to get the new ball to swing when he dismissed Ishan Kishan during the first over of India’s chase on Sunday.

SA vs AUS Probable Winners:

South Africa’s opening match saw three of their players score centuries, sending a clear message to the other teams that they are a team to be taken seriously in this tournament. However, with confidence high in their camp, Australia will relish the opportunity to bring them down while also claiming their first win of the competition. Playing India in Chennai was always going to be a difficult opener for Australia, and we expect them to be far better with both the bat and the ball in this match. Considering the team combination, Australia is expected to win this match.
