AUS vs SA ICC WC 2019 | Australia Vs South Africa 45th ODI ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Preview
AUSTRALIA
- Rewind two years back and no one would have imagined Australia being in the position they’re currently in the ongoing tournament.
- They’ve played fantastic cricket and gave excellent performance in all departments of the game and have appeared to be the most balanced and complete team of the competition.
- David Warner and Aaron Finch have scored truckloads of runs in the tournament so far which is the main reason for Australia’s dominant performance in the competition.
- The middle order has also chipped in when presented with an opportunity which has given their management plenty of confidence.
- Mitchell Starc has been the leading wicket-taker in the tournament, with 24 wickets to his name until now, and is in the race to earn the player of the tournament.
- The top position is at stake in this encounter, the Aussies are expected to come out all guns blazing, and if they’re able to put up a performance similar to what they’ve done in the tournament thus far, it should be an easy win for them.
SOUTH AFRICA
- With a nine-wicket win in their previous encounter, against Sri Lanka, South Africa regained a tinge of pride and will be looking to continue to build on the momentum.
- It’s been a remarkably poor tournament for the Proteas.
- Even though South Africa’s bowling has done reasonably well in the tournament, there have been instances of Rabada looking a little fatigued. Chris Morris and Imran Tahir, on the other hand, have been exceptional with Morris often ending up with a higher economy.
- The introduction of Dwaine Pretorius in the previous match was an inspirational change for the Proteas, which brought them a much-needed win.
- Despite a couple of hiccups, their bowling has performed as per the expectations whereas their batting has failed to fire whenever it needed to be.
- All in all, South Africa are an evenly balanced side which looks as strong as any on paper.
