SA vs AUS Dream11 Match Prediction

SA vs AUS Dream11 Match Preview: It was an imperious effort from South Africa to clinch the first ODI played at the Boland Park in Paarl by 74 runs. Now the two teams will head into the second ODI which will be played ay the Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein.

Talking about how things went in the first ODI, the Proteas won the toss and opted to bat on a dry and hard surface. However, skipper Quinton de Kock and debutant Janneman Malan went cheaply but some vital contributions from the middle-order get things going for the home side.

Heinrich Klaasen’s maiden ODI ton was the icing on the cake in Proteas innings as he carried his bat throughout the innings with a tremendous 123 off 114 deliveries which included 7 fours and 3 sixes.

In reply, Australia failed to build partnerships at crucial junctures of the game which ultimately dented their run chase. Steven Smith and Marnus Labuschagne were the only two players who made things look easy with the bat for the visitors but their effort went in vain.

The clash will take place at Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein, at 04:30 PM IST on 04th March.

Here is the Dream11 prediction and for SA vs AUS.
