On the other hand, South Africa dominated Namibia to win their most recent series 3-0. However, the majority of top-flight players were rested on the tour, as the Proteas preferred to give experience and exposure to younger cricketers, who also did not disappoint.
The opening game of the ODI series between Australia and South Africa will kick off at 1:30 PM IST on Thursday at Kingsmead Stadium in Durban. Both nations are entering the series with a flawless record in their most recent games. Taking a look at team news, Kwena Maphaka along with Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi have been ruled out of action due to fitness concerns.
South Africa have won the last five bilateral series they have played against Australia, dating back a decade to September 2016. The last time Australia won a bilateral contest against South Africa was in 2014. Thus, facing the Proteas as visitors would be a significant challenge for Mitchell Marsh’s side.
