Having lost the T20I series, South Africa will seek revenge in the five-match ODI series against Australia. The 1st ODI will be played at Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein and will start at 4:30 PM IST.
South Africa will seek better results against Australia when the teams clash in a five-match ODI series. The hosts suffered a crushing 3-0 loss to Australia in the T20I series. The ODI series is very important as it will give teams a reality check about their preparations for the ODI World Cup.
Australia will welcome big guns like David Warner, Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Hazlewood and Cameron Green which will further boost their side. South Africa, on the other hand, will be delighted with the return of David Miller, Quinton de Kock and Kagiso Rabada. The series should be highly competitive.

SA vs AUS Match Toss Prediction
The captain winning the toss will look to bowl. The pitch will have something for the fast bowlers early on and captains would be keen to exploit the freshness.
SA vs AUS Pitch Report
The pitch will be a good cricketing surface. There will be something for the fast bowlers with the new ball, while spinners will also get some help when the ball gets soft. Batters will get the full value of their shots and the outfield is quick and the ball travels miles at this venue due to high altitude.
Bloemfontein Weather Report
There is no threat of rain but the temperature can dip to 1 degree in the night which can make life tough for players.

South Africa Team News & Playing 11
SA Team News
South Africa was blown away in the T20I series but they can expect some good results in the ODI series. The team will be aided by the return of veterans David Miller, Heinrich Klaassen, Kagiso Rabada and Quinton de Kock.
SA Key Players
- Quinton De Kock – Quinton de Kock has announced his retirement from cricket. The left-hander will end his career after the ODI World Cup. De Kock is one of the greats of the game and would like to finish on a high. He will be a key player for South Africa against the likes of Cummins and Hazlewood.
- Henrich Klaassen – Klaassen has been performing well in the T20I format for a while and South Africa will expect him to take that form in the ODI format too. If he can replicate his T20I form in ODIs, South Africa’s chances of winning will increase significantly.
- Tabraiz Shamsi - Shamsi had an ordinary T20I series but the spinner will play a huge role for South Africa in the ODI series. He can turn out to be the game-changer for the hosts in the series.
SA Team Form
South Africa had an ordinary run in the T20I series but with big guns back, they can expect some decent results.

Australia Team News & Playing 11
AUS Team News
Australia will be boosted by the return of Cameron Green, David Warner, Marnus Labuschagne, and Josh Hazlewood. The team will miss the services of Glenn Maxwell, who has been ruled out due to injury. Pat Cummins is also likely to miss the ODIs as he is recovering from a fractured wrist.
AUS Key Players
- Mitchell Marsh – Marsh was in top form in the T20I series and won the player of the series award for his two stunning half-centuries. Marsh would be keen to make a similar impact in the ODI series.
- David Warner – Warner has not been in great form but Australia have backed him for the ODI World Cup given his experience and skills. The batter will be desperate to live up to the expectations. As we all know, if Warner has a good series, Australia will be very hard to beat.
- Cameron Green – Green will play a big role for Australia in the series. He is one of the most destructive batters and also contributes with the ball.
AUS Team Form
Australia were ruthless in the preceding T20I series, winning all three games comprehensively.
Australia Predicted Playing 11
David Warner, Travis Head, Cameron Green, Mitch Marsh (c), Marnus Labuschagne, Marcus Stoinis, Alex Carey (wk), Sean Abbott, Nathan Ellis, Josh Hazlewood, Adam Zampa

Who will win South Africa vs Australia 1st ODI Match?
We suggest backing Australia to win. Australia won the T20I series without breaking a sweat. With players like Josh Hazlewood, Marnus Labuschagne, David Warner, and Cameron Green back, the team looks even more daunting.
🏆 South Africa vs Australia Prediction
Australia will start as favourites. South Africa will welcome players like Miller, Klaassen, Rabada and Nortje, who have not played a lot of cricket in recent times while other players like Markram, Bavuma and Dussen did not do well in the T20I series. Australia look a far more stable team on paper and thus we are backing them as winners for the game.
