South Africa Team News & Playing 11

Team News

This would be Morne Morkel's final outing for South Africa in an international game and the team will want to give him the perfect farewell. We don't expect any changes to be made in their line-up for the fourth test.

Key Players

AB de Villiers is currently at the top of the runs charts with one hundred and three half-centuries to his name. He struck a fifty in each innings of the last match and seems to be in great form at the moment. Hashim Amla is averaging 54.94 in tests at the Wanderers and he will be another key man for South Africa here. Morne Morkel took four in the first and five in the second innings to claim a match haul of nine wickets. The paceman will be the bowler to watch out for as he will be looking to give his all in his final appearance for his country.

Recent Form

South Africa's big win at Cape Town was their fourth win in the six test matches they have played so far this year. They started off by winning the first two of those, then facing back-to-back defeats against India and Australia before bouncing back to win the last two.

South Africa Predicted Playing 11

  • Faf du Plessis (c), Dean Elgar, Aiden Markram, Hashim Amla, AB de Villiers, Temba Bavuma, Quinton de Kock (wk), Vernon Philander, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Morne Morkel

Australia Team News & Playing 11

Team News

Batsman Cameron Bancroft, captain Steven Smith and his deputy David Warner have been suspended and sent back to Australia owing to their involvement in the ball-tampering scandal during the Cape Town test. Joe Burns, Matthew Renshaw and Glenn Maxwell have replaced the trio in the squad. Tim Paine will be leading the team in the fourth test at Johannesburg.

Key Players

With Smith, Warner and Bancroft gone, the Australian batting will now rely on the likes of Usman Khawaja, Shaun and Mitchell Marsh to score the big runs. There will also be high expectations on Matthew Renshaw and Joe Burns, both of whom are coming off a good Sheffield Shield tournament. The Aussies may not have to makes changes to their bowling line-up that is being led well by paceman Pat Cummins - the second-best bowler in the series with 13 wickets. Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon have all been impressive and the visitors will need them to be at their best, especially now that the team lacks experience and strength in the batting department.

Recent Form

Australia have won six, lost three and drawn one of their past ten tests. After losing 2-1 to India, they drew 1-1 with Bangladesh and then hammered England 4-0 at home in the Ashes and are now trailing 1-2 in the ongoing series against South Africa.

Australia Predicted Playing 11

  • Tim Paine (c/wk), Joe Burns, Matthew Renshaw, Usman Khawaja, Shaun Marsh, Mitchell Marsh, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood, Peter Handscomb/Glenn Maxwell

­South Africa vs Australia Head-to-Head

Australia and South Africa have now played 97 tests against each other with the former having won 52 of those and the latter just 25. The remaining 20 matches have all resulted in stalemates. The Aussies have been dominant at the Wanderers too, winning six and drawing two out of the eleven matches against the Proteas.

­South Africa vs Australia 4th Test Betting Odds

South Africa, after having outplayed Australia in the previous two matches, begin as the bookmakers' favorites to win the fourth test at short odds of 1.60 on Betfair and 1.55 each on Unibet and Betway. Australia's betting odds for this game have spiked up dramatically. The visitors are now up at 4.50 on Betfair, 4 on Betway and 3.90 on Unibet. A draw currently stands at 6.20 on Betfair and 6 each on Unibet and Betway.

­South Africa vs Australia 4th Test Prediction

Since 2001, there have been 16 tests played at the Wanderers and only one of them has ended in a stalemate. Also, the last two matches of this series have not even made it to the fifth day which just shows the kind of quality these two sides have in the bowling department. So backing this game for a draw sounds a little risky here. Australia are already rattled by the ball-tampering scandal and their embarrassing defeat at Cape Town has only added to their ignominy. Their line-up is now devoid of three of their top four batsmen which will further weaken an already inconsistent batting. South Africa on the other hand have gained momentum by virtue of their huge back-to-back wins. They may not have done too well in the game's longest format at this venue in recent times, but looking at Australia's current situation, we predict the hosts to win this match and take the series 3-1.

Final Verdict: Back South Africa to beat Australia at 1.60 on 1xbet and 1.55 each on Unibet and Betway.
