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.
Glenn Maxwell
Maxwell with ball and in the field has been pretty good this season. With the bat though he has had some concerns. The scores are missing with Maxwell failing to convert and he has had some rough patches in the past but now Australia need him to push harder.
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.
