SA vs AUS Match Preview

Australia will face South Africa in the second semi-final of the competition on Thursday at Eden Gardens, with a place in the 2023 Cricket World Cup Final on the line. Both teams won seven and lost two games in the group stage, with South Africa losing to the Netherlands and India. After struggling early in the competition, Australia has emerged as one of the most impressive teams in recent weeks. They were soundly defeated by South Africa in Match 10, but they appear to be a far stronger unit now. South Africa has never reached a Cricket World Cup Final, having been eliminated in the semi-finals in 1992, 1999, 2007, and 2015.

Topmost Picks for SA vs AUS Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – South Africa

• Quinton de Kock – Only Virat Kohli has scored more runs than the South African keeper-batter so far in the Cricket World Cup 2023. He hit another three sixes against Afghanistan.
• Gerald Coetzee – The 23 year old fast bowler added another four dismissals to his record in this tournament which has seen him take 18 wickets at a strike-rate of 18.16.

Top Picks – Australia

• David Warner – The left-handed opener racked up 499 runs across the group stage including six more fours in the convincing win over Bangladesh in Match 43.
• Adam Zampa – The 31 year old spinner has taken 3x four-wicket hauls across this 2023 Cricket World Cup and picked up the key wickets of Litton Das and Mushfiqur Rahim in the last game.

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.

Wicketkeeper – KL Rahul

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.

SA vs AUS Match Preview

South Africa will face Australia in the ODI series final on September 17 at the Wanderers in Johannesburg. The match is scheduled to begin at 1:30 PM IST. South Africa has made a strong comeback after losing the first two games of the series. The hosts have won the previous two games and have a good chance of winning the series. South Africa defeated Australia by 164 runs in the fourth One-Day International, scoring 416-6 in 50 overs before bowling Australia out for 252. They also won the third ODI by 111 runs, scoring 338 while batting first. South Africa will be favored to win the series with batters returning to form. Australia will not be disappointed because they see this series as a chance to put the pieces back together before the World Cup.

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.

Quinton de Kock(VC), Heinrich Klaassen, Alex Carey, David Warner, Travis Head(C), Marcus Stoinis, Aiden Markram, Nathan Ellis, Kagiso Rabada, Josh Hazlewood

Captain and Vice-Captain Options:

Captain – Travis Head, Aiden Markram

Vice-captain – Quinton de Kock, Marcus Stoinis

Wicketkeeper – Quinton de Kock

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.

South Africa is showing their middle-order strength with Henrich Klaasen and David Miller coming to the party. Australia are now in some trouble with their bowlers having a really bad day and Travis Head now struggling with a fracture, potentially leaving him out for a fair spell of games.

SA vs AUS Key Players

Quinton De Kock

Quinton Kock, a player who had the potential to become a great for South Africa across formats is now playing his last series of ODI Cricket at home. He has been going through a lean run of form though and will be hoping to finish off on a high.

Marcus Stoinis

Marcus Stoinis the batter has disappeared in the last few years. There have been no significant performances from him with the bat and his few overs up front is all that has saved him from being dropped. Time is running out though and with the likes of Maxwell and Steve Smith coming out Marcus Stoinis will have to do something big to prove that he is still an undroppable player in the side.

SA vs AUS Match Tips

Both sides are fielding a set of new players but with home conditions South Africa may have a slight edge.

South Africa and Australia will play the second One-Day International (ODI) on September 9. The match will begin at 4:30 PM IST at Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein. Down and out at one point, Australia staged a stunning comeback to defeat South Africa by three wickets in the first ODI. Chasing 223 on an unplayable pitch, Australia was reduced to 113-7 and on the verge of defeat when two unlikely heroes bailed them out and led the team to victory. South Africa will be disappointed that they were unable to win the game. They did, however, have a couple of advantages. Temba Bavuma hit a magnificent century for the team, while Kagiso Rabada was at his ruthless best. Other players must step up if South Africa is to win the next game.

On paper, Australia appears to be a far more stable team, and we are rooting for them to win the game. Considering the team combination, Australia is expected to win this match.

SA vs AUS Match Preview

After losing the series, South Africa will try to reclaim their pride. The third Twenty20 International will be played at Kingsmead Durban and will begin at 5:30 PM IST. South Africa’s struggle against Australia continued as the hosts were crushed by an eight-wicket loss in the second T20I, losing the series with one game remaining. In this series, nothing has gone right for South Africa. None of the batters have been able to hold off the Australian bowlers, while the hosts’ bowlers have been hammered by the Aussie willow-wielders. Australia will be pleased with how things have turned out. On a brilliant batting deck, they restricted South Africa to 164-8 before chasing the target in the 15th over. In the first game, the team scored 226 and bowled out South Africa for 115.

They scored 226 runs in the first game and chased a 165-run target in 14.4 overs in the second. The bowlers have also been outstanding, denying South African batters any respite. Australia are unquestionably the favorites, and South Africa will need to punch above their weight to stop Australia’s juggernaut. Considering the team combination, South Africa is expected to win this match.
