The ongoing ODI series between South Africa and Australia is poised nicely at the moment. The five-match series is currently in favour of Australia as the visitors are leading 2-1. Perhaps, they had won the first two matches of the series before South Africa pulled one back in the previous outing with a stunning 111-run win. Their batting finally clicked to post a massive total of 338 runs in their 50 overs and then skittled Australia for just 227 runs.

On the other hand, Australia have been in exceptional form on this tour winning the T20I series and are looking hot favourites to win the contest in the ODIs as well. They will be looking to seal the series with one match to go itself. Their batters have been in great form and are playing aggressively as well. While all of Australia's players are fit, South Africa have been dealt with a huge blow as their skipper Temba Bavuma and pacer Anrich Nortje will not play this match.
