SA VS AUS 2nd ODI: Australia look to continue with same rhythm as South Africa search for victory
After clinching their thrilling victory in the first ODI, Australia will once again come against South Africa in the second ODI of the ongoing five-match series on Saturday at Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein. Australia had snatched the victory from South Africa’s jaws in the first match with Marnus Labuschagne (80) and Ashton Agar (48) playing match-winning knocks. Labuschagne, who had come as a substitute for Cameron Green, shone throughout the innings with his incredible shots to take Australia over the line. Going into this match, Australia will hope to emulate their performance in this match as well to continue taking lead in the series. Currently, Australia are leading the series 1-0.
On the other hand, South Africa would need their top order batters to get into rhythm and play big knocks to give the team upper edge against Australia. South Africa, in the first game, had failed to enjoy the service of their batters, nonetheless, their skipper Temba Bavuma stood solid to guide the team to a fighting total with his 114-run knock unbeaten but Australia had the last laugh. Heading into this match, South Africa would need their players to perform up to the standards keeping in mind the approaching ODI World Cup.
South Africa Probable XI: Quinton de Kock (wk), Temba Bavuma (c), Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Gerald Coetzee, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi
