Prediction Based on Performance
Considering both teams’ recent performance in the series, Australia is slightly ahead of South Africa. They have won three out of five matches while South Africa has only won two. Furthermore, Australia’s bowling attack is way more effective than that of South Africa. The Aussies also have some experienced players like David Warner, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Marsh who can make a big difference in the game.
Overall, Australia might have a slight edge over South Africa when it comes to this fifth ODI match. However, anything can happen on the day and cricket is an unpredictable sport so fans are advised to keep their expectations under control when betting on the outcome of the match.
Information About Injuries in Teams
Australia
Australia is unlikely to have Cameron Green available for this match because he is in the middle of a concussion protocol. Green was struck on the head by a ball from Kagiso Rabada during the first one-day international against South Africa. Green retired hurt and didn’t return. He is being monitored daily by the medical staff and is unlikely to be available until at least the last match of the series.
Other key players who are unavailable for Australia include:
- Steve Smith, who is recovering from a wrist injury
- Mitchell Starc, who is resting to recover from groin soreness
- Glenn Maxwell, who is recovering from an ankle injury
South Africa
South Africa’s Nortje suffered lower back spasms during the second match of the series. He left the field after bowling five overs and returned to bat for South Africa later. He will require further medical assessment.
