Australia, the five-time champions, will be eager to bounce back against a South Africa side that set numerous records with their impressive 102-run victory over Sri Lanka in their recent appearance. This upcoming match is crucial for both teams, with several key aspects likely to influence the outcome.
**Australia:**Pat Cummins (c), Steve Smith, Alex Carey, Josh Inglis, Sean Abbott, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Marnus Labuschagne, Mitch Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, David Warner, Adam Zampa, Mitchell Starc.
South Africa: Temba Bavuma (c), Gerald Coetzee, Quinton de Kock, Reeza Hendricks, Marco Jansen, Heinrich Klaasen, Keshav Maharaj, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Lungi Ngidi, Andile Phehlukwayo, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi, Rassie van der Dussen, Lizaad Williams.
Mitchell Starc, the experienced left-arm fast bowler for Australia, had a relatively quiet outing in the team’s opening match, picking up just one wicket by dismissing India’s opener Ishan Kishan in the very first over of the match. However, his ability to swing the ball and take early breakthroughs will be crucial for Australia in their upcoming match against South Africa.
Aiden Markram, the right-handed batsman for South Africa, is in superb form, as evidenced by his record-breaking century against Sri Lanka in the Men’s Cricket World Cup. His ability to adjust to different conditions makes him a formidable opponent, and Australia will be eager to dismiss him early.
