Topmost Picks for SA vs AUS Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – South Africa

• Quinton De Kock – Quinton De Kock has shown good form in the ODI series. While he has not played a really big knock so far, he looks set to play one in the final. A good game for De Kock will increase South Africa’s chances.
• Tabraiz Shamsi – Shamsi had an ordinary T20I series but the spinner will play a huge role for South Africa in the ODI series. He can turn out to be the game-changer for the hosts in the series.

Top Picks – Australia

• Mitchell Marsh – Marsh was in top form in the T20I series and won the player of the series award for his two stunning half-centuries. Marsh would be keen to make a similar impact in the ODI series.
• Cameron Green – Green will play a big role for Australia in the series. He is one of the most destructive batters and also contributes with the ball.

SA vs AUS Probable Winners:

Despite losing their last two games, Australia will start as favorites. The team has plenty of batting firepower and can chase down any total set for a win. The bowling has been poor in the last two games, but experienced players like Hazlewood and Zampa are expected to bounce back in the final. Furthermore, while the majority of South Africa’s batters have scored runs in the last two games, their consistency remains a concern. Australia is a favorite of ours. Considering the team combination, Australia is expected to win this match.
