South Africa managed to score 296 runs, their players were in great batting form from the beginning of the match. The target that South Africa has set for Australia after losing 8 wickets may be a little difficult to meet. If Temba Bavuma can give a great bowling performance, then we can definitely hope for South Africa to win this match. Australia has good quality batsmen, if they cannot put pressure on them, then Australia will be able to meet the target of 296 runs very easily. South Africa needs to improve their bowling a lot, if they can bowl well at the beginning and put pressure on Australia, then the match can come into South Africa's hands.
South Africa's opening partnership of Rickelton and Markram put on 87 runs, which kept South Africa under no pressure from the start. The top order batsmen performed well, which enabled South Africa to score 296 runs.
Australia came out to bat, Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh are the opening pair, both are batting well. South Africa's bowlers will have to bowl very hard and take the wickets of the opening pair very quickly. Australia have already scored 60 runs in 7 overs without losing a wicket. If this continues, I think Australia will win easily.
