Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis are now retired in the format but Marnus Labuschagne manages to keep his space as Australia navigate through a change of guard. South Africa are near full strength as well with Temba Bavuma leading the side.

Australia vs South Africa: Players to Watch

Ryan Rickleton

Ryan Rickleton is making it big with his impactful 30s. He is a key silent starter and his role has been pretty simple but effective in the limited games he has played so far.

Travis Head

With the others retiring Travis Head now remains a key senior member in the side. He loves to take on the bowlers and now will enjoy added responsibility.

Australia vs South Africa Match Tips

South Africa and Australia both look even on paper but home advantage and momentum should keep Australia marginally in front.
