South Africa vs Australia Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
South Africa has struggled in the powerplay but have still managed to have a decent opening stand in games thus far. In the last five matches, South Africa has managed an opening stand of 33, 34, 38, 6 and 64 averaging 35 runs. What makes this tip even more enticing is the fact South Africa have had a better opening stand in four of the last five games. On the other hand Australia has conceded a bigger opening stand in two of the last three games which makes us believe South Africa would have a better opening stand in the upcoming game.
Temba Bavuma has been struggling in this tournament and has failed to show up so far in the World Cup. Bavuma’s performance has not been highlighted as South Africa has done well in the batting department thus far. In all six games, Bavuma has fallen short of required runs set by the bookmakers which makes us believe Bavuma would score low once again in the upcoming game.

South Africa vs Australia Betting Odds
Australia to outscore South Africa in powerplay
South Africa has dominated the games when they have batted first. They aren’t that many better teams in the World when it comes to setting up the targets. In the last two games, Australia’s middle order has come to light as they managed to chase down the target against Netherlands after Australian batsmen imploded to 91/7. Even though South Africa has showcased their firepower throughout the group stages, they have been notoriously slow starters in games and haven’t looked that convincing in the powerplay. In the last five games, South Africa has managed to score 44, 67, 43, 35 and 57 averaging 49.2 runs and have conceded 55.2 runs in those games. On the other hand, Australia has looked phenomenal in the powerplay as only twice in nine games they have scored under fifty runs in the first ten overs. In the last five games, Australia has managed to score 66, 118, 48, 52 and 58 averaging 68.4 runs and have conceded 53.4 runs in those games. Looking at these stats we believe Australia would outscore South Africa in the powerplay and you should utilise this opportunity to make some quick bucks.

South Africa vs Australia Top Team Batters
Rassie van der Dussen to be South Africa’s top batter
Rassie van der Dussen has had a solid campaign thus far. He has been overshadowed by the brilliance of Quinton De Kock but when South Africa required the most, Van der Dussen has stepped up every single time. He has scored a half century and a century in the last three games which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
David Warner to be Australia’s top batter
David Warner’s form has coincided with Australia’s change in fortune. Warner has scored two centuries and two half centuries in the last six games which has resulted in seven wins in the last seven games for Australia. With 499 runs, Warner is the leading run scorer for Australia which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
South Africa vs Australia Top Team Bowlers
Keshav Maharaj to be South Africa’s top bowler
Considering the fact the game is being played at Eden Gardens, we have seen in previous games the spinners would play a key role in the game. Keshav Maharaj has been great for South Africa in the last few games and has bagged seven wickets in the last three games which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Adam Zampa to be Australia’s top bowler
Not many people expected Adam Zampa to be the main man for Australia in this tournament. Zampa has had a phenomenal World Cup and has been consistent throughout the tournament. With 22 wickets, Zampa is the leading wicket taker in the World Cup which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
