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 92 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 strongly 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.
South African team were batting first and gave such a big target of 296 in the loss of 8 wickets and when Australia came to bat in the first few overs they were playing extra ordinary. Their required run rate was 5 and thier current run rate was above
to 8. Travis Head start the game peacefully as now he is not playing frequently in his form.
Till the Champions Trophy, he was in his prime form, he did not use to go with single and doubles just boundaries and boundaries. However from the other end, Mitchell Marsh is also playing well and he is not out at 68 runs.
