AUS vs SA Preview:
- David Warner has a brilliant ODI record and the left-handed opener looked very comfortable against a strong India bowling attack on Sunday before being dismissed for 41 runs from 52 balls. He hit six fours in his innings as he continued his excellent form from the India ODI series where he hit three half-centuries. We are backing Warner to be Australia’s highest run scorer against South Africa. Josh Hazlewood was the pick of Australia’s bowlers in the defeat in Chennai and he bowled a maiden as well as taking 3-38 from his nine overs. The right-arm quick bowler is our tip for Australia’s top wicket taker in Lucknow.
- Quinton de Kock has now hit 18 hundreds in this format and he comes into this clash with Australia looking to back up his 84-ball century against Sri Lanka. The left-handed keeper-batter will have been disappointed to not kick on with his innings in that game but he has the perfect opportunity to go again in this match. de Kock is our pick for South Africa’s highest run scorer against Australia. Kagiso Rabada took 2-50 against Sri Lanka and the right-arm pace bowler loves nothing more than testing himself against the biggest names in the sport. Rabada is a strong choice for South Africa’s top wicket taker in this clash.
- After hitting 106 and 78 in the ODI series in South Africa last month, we recommend selecting David Warner to hit over 31.5 runs in this clash.

Pitch Report:
This Ekana Cricket Stadium pitch has always offered something for both the spinners and the quick bowlers. However, it is a new surface after being relaid earlier this year so a par score is hard to predict.
Toss Prediction:
Two of the last three ODIs have been won by the team batting first and we predict that both captains will choose to bat first in this game if they win the toss.

Winning Chances:
With three players in South Africa’s line-up hitting centuries in their opening match, a clear message has been sent out to all the other teams that they are a side to be taken seriously in this tournament. However, with confidence high in their camp, Australia will relish the opportunity to bring them down and get their first win of the competition at the same time. Playing against India in Chennai was always going to be a tough opener for Australia and we expect them to be far better with both the bat and ball in this fixture. Our prediction is for an exciting and close game in Lucknow with Australia able to get over the line to win the match.
AUS vs SA Key Players:

The 36 year old will be turning 37 over the next seven days but is still producing the goods on a very regular basis. This will be his 150th ODI innings and he currently averages 45.02 in this format.
