Australia vs South Africa Match Preview

Australia will clash with South Africa in this highly anticipated encounter on Thursday in Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, which is hosting its first game in this edition of the Cricket World Cup. Both sides are coming with contrasting fortunes from their respective previous games.

South Africa Dominated Sri Lanka in their high scoring encounter where they posted a massive total of 428-5 with 3 of their Batters notching up a Ton. On the other hand, Australia lost a low-scoring affair against the hosts, where for once it seemed they would pull things back but India won it comfortably after the early turbulences, courtesy of match-winning knocks of Virat Kohli and KL Rahul. Australia’s batting has been a letdown in previous matches.

Having said that, the encounter seems exciting and will be closely fought. South Africa has been very good of late, and Australians know how to perform on the big stage, where it is needed the most. Let’s have a look at important match details.
