Preview
South Africa will be hopeful about their chances in the ODIs after losing the T20I series to Australia. Although they had a new look, many of their regulars were back for the South Africa vs Australia 50-over series.
After a strong performance in the T20I series, Aiden Markram will aim to maintain his form in the ODIs. The talented opener has scored 440 runs in his last 9 games, averaging a brilliant 55 and striking out at a fantastic 110 percent.
Temba Bavuma, the captain, may have had trouble in the T20I series, but he excels at ODI cricket. The fearless opener scored 420 runs in 6 ODIs in 2023 at an incredible average of 84, including two hundred and one fifty.
Heinrich Klaasen is another hitter who we think will have an impact. The hard-hitting wicketkeeper-batsman has scored 422 runs in his previous 8 innings at an astounding 128.65 strike rate and an average of 71. Klaasen will target Australia’s spinners in the middle overs since he is particularly dangerous against spin bowlers.
Kagiso Rabada’s return to the bowling squad would please South Africa. Rabada will attempt to increase his ODI total of 19 wickets against Australia at an average of 27.52.
This bowling assault is further strengthened by Lungi Ngidi (11 wickets in the last 7 games at 6.34), Anrich Nortje (8 wickets in the last 6 games at 5.47), and Marco Jansen (8 wickets in the last 7 games at 5.91).
Full Squad:
Temba Bavuma (c), Quinton de Kock (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Aiden Markram, David Miller, Tristan Stubbs (wk), Rassie van der Dussen, Dewald Brevis, Marco Jansen, Gerald Coetzee, Bjorn Fortuin, Sisanda Magala, Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje, Wayne Parnell, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi.

Australia (Match Odds- 1.67)
Australia enters this series after a strong run in one-day international cricket, which included victories over India 2-1 earlier this year and England 3-0 at home in late 2022. However, their group is lacking a few important members. Mitchell Starc is out with a groin issue, and Steve Smith is currently recovering from a wrist injury he sustained during the Ashes. The normal captain Pat Cummins will also miss the ODIs because of a fractured wrist, and Glen Maxwell will not play because of an injured ankle.
Despite this, you should still be wary of the Australian team. Mitchell Marsh, an all-arounder, was in outstanding form during the T20I series, scoring 92 and 79 respectively in the first two games. Our major batter to watch out for is the stand-in skipper, who should have adapted to the conditions fairly well by this point. In his last 5 ODIs, Marsh has scored 274 runs with a strike rate of 123 and an average of 68.50.
Travis Head is becoming better and better with each series he plays, most recently scoring an incredible 48-ball 91 in the third T20I. In this series, he’ll probably start at first base and provide the team some quick starts.
We are also betting on David Warner to have a successful series (350 runs in his last 7 games at an average of 50 and a strike rate of 95.62). Warner’s previous success on these pitches will be very helpful to the team.
Josh Hazlewood (10 wickets in the last 6 games at an average of 3.54) should do well on this surface as a bowler. Adam Zampa, a leg-spinner who has 22 wickets in his previous 10 games at an average of 4.68, should also be avoided.
Full Squad:
Mitchell Marsh (c), Sean Abbott, Ashton Agar, Alex Carey (wk), Pat Cummins, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Aaron Hardie, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis (wk), Spencer Johnson, Marnus Labuschagne, Tanveer Sangha, Marcus Stoinis, David Warner, Adam Zampa.

South Africa vs Australia Pitch Report:
The Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein typically has a good batting surface with some bounce and movement for the bowlers in the opening overs. But batting gets simpler as the game goes on. Once the batters have cleared the infield, the ball will receive full credit for their hits because the field has a speedy outfield. In the middle overs, spinners will be able to have an impact. Bloemfontein will see lovely weather with lots of sunshine.

South Africa vs Australia Match Prediction:
In one-day international cricket, South Africa and Australia have enjoyed a friendly rivalry, with the Proteas winning 51 matches to Australia’s 48. This match ought to be hotly contested and highly entertaining. Bowlers will probably want to score runs, which will benefit the team chasing. Although the batting units of both teams are strong, Australia has the advantage in this match thanks to their previous match-winning confidence. We believe Australia has a higher chance of winning this game overall.
We predict Australia to win the match South Africa vs Australia at the odds of 1.67
