South Africa vs Australia Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
On paper South Africa has far more firepower than Australia but most of their firepower is in middle order which is probably why they have struggled to do well in powerplay overs. In the last five matches, South Africa has managed to score 48, 34, 44, 64 and 84 averaging 54.8 runs which looks pretty decent. But what makes us go with this tip is the fact in each of the last five matches they have conceded more runs in the powerplay which is why we believe Australia would outscore South Africa in the first 10 overs.
Alex Carey’s struggles have continued in the opening game as he got out for 0 against India. In the last ten matches, Carey has averaged mere 20.99 which is pretty low considering he bats down the order. In the last five matches Carey has scored 0, 11, 14, 2 and 99. We believe Carey would struggle to score well in the upcoming fixture.

Australia’s form has been in slump as they lost back to back series against South Africa and India prior to the World Cup. Their underwhelming performances carried on in the World Cup as they were comprehensively beaten by India in the opening fixture.

South Africa are one of the very few teams who have edged Australia in head to head games in ODI cricket. In 108 games, South Africa have a winning record of 54-50. In the last bilateral series, Australia took a 2-0 lead but were pegged back as South Africa won the series 3-2.
Head to Head:
South Africa Win: 54
Australia win: 50
South Africa vs Australia Betting Odds
South Africa to score more sixes than Australia
The way the first round of fixtures were played out it looks like South Africa are in a better place than Australia heading into this fixture. South Africa exploded against Sri Lanka and it's hard to bet against them in the upcoming game. Prior to the World Cup both sides went head to head in a five game bilateral series and South Africa managed to score more sixes in four of the five matches. In the last five matches, South Africa has managed to score 14, 14, 20, 7 and 12 averaging 13.4 sixes a game and have conceded 10.2 sixes a game. On the other hand, Australia have scored 2, 9, 6, 8 and 11 averaging 7.2 sixes a game. Considering the fact Australia has conceded more sixes in four of the last five games we believe South Africa would score more sixes than Australia in the upcoming game.

South Africa vs Australia Top Team Batters
Rassie van der Dussen to be South Africa’s top batter
Rassie van der Dussen was one of the three centurions for South Africa in the last game. The main reason for us to back him over the likes of Quinton de Kock and Aiden Markram is the fact he is better accustomed to spin and has a century and a half century in the last three games which makes him our top pick for the upcoming game.
Marnus Labuschagne to be Australia’s top batter
It almost feels as if Manus Labuschagne is playing as if he has something to prove as he was initially dropped from the World Cup squad. Since then Labuschagne has been among runs in each of the last five matches scoring 44, 39, 27, 72 and 27 and averages 49.10 in 2023 which makes him our top pick for the upcoming game.
South Africa vs Australia Top Team Bowlers
Marco Jansen to be South Africa’s top bowler
Marco Jansen has been outstanding for South Africa and has been one of the most consistent bowlers for his side this year. Jansen took two key wickets in the powerplay which sealed the game for South Africa. He remains the leading wicket taker for South Africa in this calendar year which makes him our top pick for the upcoming game.
Mitchell Starc to be Australia’s top bowler
Australia had a disappointing outing against India but Mitchell Starc was lethal against India in the powerplay as was unlucky to have only bagged one wicket in initial overs. Stark remains one of the key figures for Australia in this World Cup and we believe he will step up in this crucial four pointer game against South Africa which makes him our top pick for the upcoming game.
