SA vs AUS Probable Winners:

South Africa will begin the match as the favorite. For the series, the team has named a full-strength squad. Australia, on the other hand, has been marred by key player injuries such as Smith, Starc, and Maxwell. They lack depth in the batting order and venom in the bowling attack. South Africa is our favorite to kick things off. Considering the team combination, South Africa is expected to win this match.
