In fact, Australia's two consecutive matches with South Africa have lost a big gap in Australia, especially in Australia, a strong team is being defeated with South Africa. Today, South Africa won by 2-0 in the series. South Africa has a relatively good bowling action than Australia, and Australia is being dismissed very fast in two innings. In a match, Australia could not finish until 5 ova. However, the statistics took place between South Africa and Australia in the last 20 matches where South Africa won five matches. South Africa is far ahead of Australia, especially in the last matches.

I will not blame the Australian bowlers. The pitch was not bowling friendly at all. But the Australian batsmen batted badly in both the matches. Even because of their bad batting , they lost both the matches. Australia could not even collect 200 runs in any match. In the first match , the two openers started a little well. But the next 5 batsmen batted badly. In today's match, except for the two middle- order batsmen Inglish and Green , no one else played well. It is impossible to win such a big target by relying on the slightly good batting of only 2 batsmen. If Australia's batting does not improve in the last match, they will be defeated.
Australia's batting was really poor, no doubt. Their batting lineup looks like a big concern right now. maybe it's time for a reset with fresh coaching ideas and stronger leadership! Credit to South Africa though. Their inexperienced side coming to Australia and dominating like this is huge. A 3-0 whitewash is now looking very possible.
Yes, Australia poor batting performance in second one day match lose the match by 84 runs against South Africa. South Africa dominating performance in one day series winning back to back matches and lead the series with 2-0. In this match Australia didn't chase a normal target of 278 runs and only managed to score 193 runs all the team bowled out. South Africa wonderful bowling display Lungi Ngidi picked 5 important wickets by just giving only 42 runs in his spell and this spell change the match position because they picked the dangerous wickets of Josh Inglis and Marnus Labuschagne which put pressure on Australia team and they lost the match too early. I think if South Africa continue this form then they will Whitewashed Australia in this Series.
