SA vs AUS 2nd ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips
South Africa and Australia will clash in the 2nd ODI on September 9. The match will be played at Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein and will start at 4:30 PM IST.
Down and out at one stage, Australia scripted a resounding comeback to beat South Africa in the first ODI by 3 wickets. Chasing 223 on an unplayable pitch, Australia were reduced to 113-7 and were staring at a certain defeat when two unlikely heroes bailed them out of trouble and took the team to a win. Marnus Labuschagne was not in the playing XI and was brought in as a concussion substitute for Cameron Green. He played an 80-run knock and stitched a century partnership with Ashton Agar (48) to give the visitors a brilliant win.
South Africa will be disappointed that they could not close the game. However, there were a couple of positives for them. Temba Bavuma scored a magnificent hundred for the team while Kagiso Rabada looked at his brutal best. Other players need to contribute if South Africa have to win the next game.

SA vs AUS Match Toss Prediction
The captain winning the toss would like to bat first and put runs on the board as the pitch will not be the easiest to bat.
SA vs AUS Pitch Report
The pitch in the first game was tough to bat. There was variable bounce and some balls were taking off from length. This is definitely not a 300 wicket and 250 can be a good score to defend.
Bloemfontein Weather Report
The weather will be clear, with temperature hovering between 32 and 14 degrees. Rain is not much of a concern.

South Africa Team News & Playing 11
SA Team News
South Africa have lost all the four games in the series. They lost the T20I series 3-0 and the first ODI by 3 wickets. The team was close to winning the ODI game but could not finish the game. They should back the same set of players for the next ODI too.
SA Key Players
- Aiden Markram – Aiden Markram played a few crisp shots in first ODI before being dismissed. Markram is a talented batter and he needs to find form for South Africa to make a comeback into the series.
- Temba Bavuma – Bavuma was at his best in the first ODI as scored one of his best centuries. He single-handedly took South Africa to a respectable total on a tough pitch to bat.
- Kagiso Rabada - Rabada was at his vintage best in the first ODI and took two wickets for 48 runs. He will be eyeing a similar show in the next game.
SA Team Form
South Africa are yet to win a game against Australia in the series. The batting needs to come good as the team has consistently failed to pit decent runs on board.

Australia Team News & Playing 11
AUS Team News
Australia had to bring Marnus Labuschagne in place of Cameron Green as a concussion substitute. If Green is fit, he should come into the team in place of Labuschagne. This is because Labuschagne is not part of the World Cup squad and Australia will give World Cup-bound players a chance in the series.
AUS Key Players
- Mitchell Marsh – Marsh was in top form in the T20I series, however, he failed in the first ODI. He will be key to Australia’s success in the following games.
- Travis Head – On a difficult pitch you need technically sound players and Travis Head has all his bases covered. He is good against pace and spinners so we expect him to do well in the next game.
- Josh Hazlewood – Hazlewood took three wickets in the last game. He will be a threat on the wicket due to his ability to bowl on stumps. The variable bounce will help him get more wickets.
AUS Team Form
Australia have won all four games on the tour so far. They have been brilliant with the bat as well as the ball and SA have been no match to them.
Australia Predicted Playing 11
David Warner, Travis Head, Cameron Green/Marnus Labuschagne, Mitch Marsh (c), Josh Inglish, Marcus Stoinis, Alex Carey (wk), Sean Abbott, Ashton Agar/Spencer Johnson, Josh Hazlewood, Adam Zampa

Who will win South Africa vs Australia 2nd ODI Match?
We suggest backing Australia to win. The team has been fantastic so far. In the first ODI, the team was down and out at 113/7 yet managed to win the game.
🏆 South Africa vs Australia Prediction
Australia will start as favourites. The team has won all four games on the tour. They were staring at a certain defeat in the 1st ODI at 113-7 yet they managed to win the game. South Africa’s batting has been poor in the series thus Australia will feel they have a good chance of winning all games of the tour. For us, Australia will be favourites.
