Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]
Australia are batting at a target of 278 runs where they lost the wicket of Travis Head early on. Travis Head was out for 6 runs but if Australia wants to win today's match, they will definitely need to build a big partnership. And Marnus Labuchange has just been out, which means it can be said that Australia is in a crisis and it will be difficult for Australia to overcome this crisis. Mitchell Marsh batted responsibly in the first match but is unbeaten in today's match so far but in today's match he will have to bat responsibly and build a big partnership for the team. Will Mitchell Marsh and Cameron Green be able to build a big partnership for the team?
Head is gone, and now Marnus Labuschagne is back in pavilion as well, with Lungi Ngidi taking the wicket. South Africa is having a solid upper hand at this point, as Australia is struggling at 7/2. Remember that Australia needs to win this match to keep the series alive, as they lost the first match. In case Proteas win this one, then they take the series with them. Credit should be given to the South African batsmen, as they have been in terrific form. Matthew Breetzke and Tristan Stubbs were in great form in this match as well.
