Australia Vs South Africa Dream11 prediction

In the 10th match of the ODI World Cup 2023, Australia will go head-to-head against South Africa at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. The team from down under had a tough start to their campaign in the flagship tournament against the hosts India, while the Proteas got the better of Sri Lanka. In their recent series in the ODI format, South Africa defeated Australia with a close margin of 3-2, which could mean a banger of a contest on October 12 between these two sides.

Australia have been victorious in just one of their last seven ODIs, while South Africa are on a hot streak of four consecutive victories in a one-sided manner in the 50 overs format. Therefore, South Africa will be fancying their chances of getting the better of Australia when they take the field on October 12 in the ODI World Cup 2023.

Despite being one of the tournament favourites, Australia had a horrid start to their campaign with a six-wicket loss against India. The batters once again struggled to play spin as Ravindra Jadeja starred with a three-wicket spell. But the bowling performed well as the pacers ran through the Indian top order easily.

On the other hand, South Africa has grown into confidence with their recent ODI results over the last month. The Proteas batting has been in incredible form with the likes of Aiden Markram, Henrich Klassen and Rassie van der Dussen scoring a lot of runs. The bowling could still be an area of improvement as they conceded 326 in their World Cup opener against Sri Lanka.

Pitch Report:

The surface at the Ekana Cricket Stadium is a batting-friendly surface and is expected to assist the Batters once again here. Pacers might get some help towards the latter half of the match while spinners may come in handy in the middle overs. If the first few overs batsmen get out with patience without losing wickets, then they can score runs at a fast pace in the middle overs and the end overs. Along with this, the due factor is often seen in the field of Mohali. In such a situation, whichever team wins the toss today can decide to bowl first.

The average first-innings score on this wicket is 265 runs.
