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.
Australian vs South Africa interesting match and South Africa team won the 2nd game by 84 runs. South Africa is a strong team in this tournament with good bowlers. I hope South Africa they will play better in the next match. South Africa players should excellent teamwork and skill on the field. The 2nd match between South Africa and Australia was played at Great Barrier Reef Arena. South Africa team won the toss and elected to batting first. South Africa set a record total runs for 277 and won the match. Congratulations to South Africa for their upcoming matches. Best of luck both teams future matches. The best batting performance in South Africa was showed by Matthew Breetzke scored 88 runs and 77 balls and hitting 8 fours and 2 sixs.
Australia looks vulnerable against South Africa. South Africa has a stronger batting lineup when their opening pair fails like today, the other batsmen takes the responsibility. Matthew Breetzke made 88 out of 78. While for Australia, Its either Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh and Josh Inglis. If all three works they get to a good total otherwise they are all out for a small one like today. This makes Australia one of the poor team. I wasn't expecting it to lose to South Africa back to back with such huge margins but they seem struggling every matches. India, New Zealand looks to be in better shape than Australia.
I never expected Australia to lose so badly against South Africa in the first two ODIs. I always think Australia is the favourite in ODIs, that's why I lost money by betting on Australia in the first match but I had full confidence in Australia, that's why I bet on Australia in the second match too but Australia lost by a big margin in the second match. A poor performance in one match is acceptable but such a poor performance in two consecutive matches is really unacceptable. The third match is coming up where I will not bet on any other team, winning the third match is very important for South Africa because if they can win the third ODI match, they can beat Australia in three consecutive matches on Australian soil and if that happens, it will be a big shame for Australia.
