The highly anticipated ODI series between South Africa and Australia is slated to commence on Thursday, September 7, and will conclude on September 17. This five-match series holds immense significance as both teams aim to fine-tune their lineups ahead of the impending ODI World Cup in 2023.
The series will take place at four distinct venues, with the Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein hosting the initial two matches. Subsequently, the action will shift to Senwes Park in Potchefstroom, SuperSport Park in Centurion, and The Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg.
Australia comes into this series riding high, having clinched the previous T20I series in emphatic fashion, whitewashing the hosts with a commanding 3-0 scoreline.
The standout performances for the Aussies included Sean Abbott emerging as the leading wicket-taker and Mitchell Marsh topping the runs leaderboard. In contrast, South Africa had a lacklustre showing in the T20Is, with Reeza Hendricks being the standout batsman. Debutant Tanveer Sangha shone among the bowlers.
As the upcoming ODI series beckons, both Australia and South Africa would be looking to get their final combinations for the upcoming World Cup 2023 right.
