- South Africa Team News
- Australia won the recent T20I series against South Africa.
- Australia’s Mitchell Marsh scored 54 runs in his last T20I innings.
- South Africa have won 3 of their last 4 ODI matches against Australia.
- South Africa’s Dewald Brevis scored 126 & 53 runs in his last 2 T20I matches.
Head to Head
South Africa lead 3-1 in their last four completed ODIs against Australia.
Australia Form
Australia won the recent T20I series 2-1 against South Africa, so they have some confidence heading into this series.
The Aussies haven’t played the 50-over game since the ICC Champions Trophy where they reached the semi-final.
This series marks another milestone as the Aussies try to build their ODI side towards the 2027 Cricket World Cup. They have some retirements to deal with in Steven Smtih and Glenn Maxwell.
Australia Team News
Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh could open the batting but that is an area the selectors need to look at moving forward.
Marnus Labuschagne is expected to play for the first time since being dropped from the Test side. Aaron Hardie could fill the all-rounder role.
South Africa Form
South Africa, like Australia, have not played ODI cricket since the ICC Champions Trophy earlier this year. They also reached the semi-final stage before going down to New Zealand.
The Proteas have a mixture of experience and youth within their squad and should more than just challenge the Aussies here.
When these two last met it was at the 2023 Cricket World Cup where South Africa won a group stage game against the Aussies, but Australia won the semi-final encounter.
South Africa Team News
Dewald Brevis should make his ODI debut after some superb form in the T20I series.
Wiaan Mulder could some come back into the side while Nandre Burger, Lungi Ngidi, Kagiso Rabada and Keshav Maharaj are likely to conclude the bowling attack.
Verdict
South Africa are backed to win with Dewald Brevis to make an impression on ODI debut. Mitchell Marsh is tipped in the Australian best batsman market.
