The series is on the line for both teams after having gained and lost in the previous matches. Australia are currently leading the series 2-1 after having won the first two matches. South Africa, on the other hand, won the third match to keep themselves alive in the series. South Africa had registered a massive 111-run victory in the third match which will give them confidence going into this match. Aiden Markram, Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma had played heroic innings in the third match to secure an important win. Australia, also saw their opener David Warner notch up (78) runs but it wasn’t the day that belonged to Australia.
