AUS vs SA Match Preview

Australia and South Africa will now shift the spotlight from the fast-paced T20 matches to a series of three ODI matches beginning on Tuesday. The first ODI will be held in Cairns and promises plenty of thrilling action. Australia won the T20 series 2-1 and will look to carry that advantage into the one-day matches. Mitchell Marsh, commanding the hosts, will be looking for another home victory, while Temba Bavuma's side will be looking to rebound from a difficult outing in the shorter format.

AUS vs SA Probable Winners:

Australia-South Africa clashes are rarely disappointing, and this ODI series should be no exception. The visitors bring plenty of quality and will put the home side to the test in all departments. Australia, on the other hand, has traditionally been very strong in its own backyard, and despite a few missing players, its squad has enough depth to keep up. Expect another close match, but the circumstances give Australia a slight advantage. Considering the team combination, Australia is expected to win this match.
