AUS vs SA 1st ODI Dream11 Team Prediction and Probable XI: Preview| Dale Steyn returns
Hello and Welcome to our preview for Australia vs South Africa match. We are covering AUS VS SA 1st ODI Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the ODI match. The match is to be played at Perth Stadium, Perth.
The Australian ODI team is down in the dumps and need to pick themselves quickly if they are to defend their World Cup crown in style. They have lost nine out of their last ten ODIs and have changed their captain from Tim Paine to Aaron Finch as well. Australia still has a very good team and they will want to taste success before the Indian team arrives on the shores.
South Africa has faced the major blow by losing out on their premier batsmen in Hashim Amla and JP Duminy. Their rest of the batting lineup will have to raise their game if they are to challenge the Aussies. South African bowling lineup is full of fire with the return of Dale Steyn.
Both the teams have a potent bowling attack but their batting has not been up to the mark. It will be an interesting battle.
