Our Prediction
Australia are favourites to win
Australia played like true champions the day before, ruthlessly bashing the hosts West Indies by 6 wickets in the 2nd ODI of the tri-series. The #1 ranked ODI team, Australia, are now preparing to face off against South Africa in the 3rd ODI on June 7 at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. The proteas would be disappointed post their 4-wicket loss to West Indies on Friday at the same venue, and they will look to leave no stone unturned when they face Australia on Tuesday. The match is scheduled to begin at 1 PM local time.

Venue and Toss
In the 15 ODIs played at this ground, only once has a team managed to score beyond 300. The average score here in the first innings is around 230. Since the pitch isn't expected to be batsmen-friendly, and also considering the two recently played games, 230-240 should be a winning first-innings total.
The first two games of this tri-series saw the team batting second win on both the occasions. The moisture in the pitch assisted the bowlers, especially the spinners, during the first half of these games. So the toss-winning team will want to field first on Tuesday and try to keep the opposition below 220.
Australia, the way they cleaned up West Indies inside 33 overs, will be difficult to beat if they win the toss.

If AUS Bat First
Predicted score: 240 and above
David Warner has continued from where had left off in the IPL, top-scoring for his side with 55 runs in as many deliveries. The kind of form he's in, he is worth backing for a top-batsman bet. Warner, Finch, Khawaja and captain Smith constitute the top four, who will have to share most of the responsibility as Maxwell remains out of form. If their top-order clicks, Australia should get to 240.
South Africa did nothing wrong with the ball against the West Indies and were hitting the right areas from the start. Their three frontline seamers Abbott, Rabada and Morris went wicketless but they gave nothing away. Spinners Phangiso and Tahir shared 5 wickets between them and Australia will be looking out for them. If the proteas dismiss the top four with no more than 100 on the board, Australia might struggle to reach the predicted score.
South Africa Team News & Playing 11
If SA Bat First
Predicted score: 225 and above
Quinton de Kock and Hashim Amla will be expected to deliver a similar batting performance as they showed against the Windies. Rossouw top-scored with 61 while de Villiers missed out despite starting off well. But leaving aside the top five, no other batsmen could reach double figures and the entire team folded at 188. The top four, Amla and de Villiers in particular, will have to score big if South Africa are to reach 230-240.
Starc and Hazlewood will probably open the bowling for Australia. The former made a great comeback against the hosts and struck twice to send both the openers back to the pavilion. The off-spin leg-spin combo of Lyon and Zampa took 3 wickets apiece and two spinners will be played with caution by the South Africans. Marsh and Hazlewood are likely to be the ones who will be targeted for runs. If de Kock, Amla and de Villiers fail to contribute much, South Africa will be in danger of being restricted below 200.
Our Prediction
Australia and South Africa will be meeting in an ODI match at the Providence Stadium for the very first time. The match that Australia won against the hosts on Sunday was their first ever ODI at this venue. South Africa have played 4 ODIs here, winning 2 and losing 2. So better knowledge of the ground conditions might work in their favor. But Australia will hold a psychological edge over South Africa as they had beaten them 4-1 in the ODI home series in 2014.
After their loss to the West Indies, South Africa will be eager to win and will look to come out with all their guns blazing. But considering the way Australia are playing in the 50-over format, we predict them to emerge victorious in the 3rd match of this tri-series.
