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.
In the first match of this series, it was admitted that the target was quite strong, but in the second match too, they did not make a good effort and could not succeed even with the target of 277 runs and will lose the match. Australia plays strong everywhere but what has happened to them this time, we cannot say anything. Are they giving South Africa a chance or are South Africa controlling Australia by playing well. So far South Africa is playing strong, due to which they will become a very victorious team. That is what I see that Australia should not have played like this in the second match. Australia should work hard. If they lose the next match too, then the disappointment of the whitewash is a great shame for Australia. South Africa strength is going very well and if they continue to play in the same way they will be successful.
A team never gives a chance to another team to win, South Africa is playing better cricket than Australia that is why South Africa has won two consecutive matches against Australia. We saw Australia win in the T20 series but they are not doing better than South Africa in the ODI series that is why they have already lost the series after losing both the first two matches and now they are just waiting for a whitewash. I would never expect a team like Australia to be whitewashed by South Africa because there are many fans who will criticize it and this incident will be criticized a lot in the Australian media too so I would expect the Australian team to play good cricket at least in the third ODI match and they can defeat South Africa. Patience is needed especially in batting, if the wicket is difficult to bat on then the batsmen have to survive on the wicket even if the run rate is comparatively low and if they charge later the runs will come out.
