Australia vs South Africa Tournament Prediction & Betting Tips 2022
Australia is looking to white wash South Africa in this test series. Team is in tremendous form as we saw in the first two test matches and the series against England and West Indies. We expect some good knocks from David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith and for South Africa Dean Elgar, Rassie van der Dussen, Sarel Erwee and Temba Bavuma. Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Starc, Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje, Kagiso Rabada, Lizaad Williams can do a good job with their line and length.
If we talk about the WTC points table, Australia is at the top of the rankings with 132 points. On the other hand South Africa is at 4th position with 72 points. So South Africa has no hope to play in the WTC Final next year.
Australia vs South Africa toss prediction
Sydney cricket ground has a high scoring pitch so the team batting first will get the advantage of it. Spinners will get a little bit of turn there. In this series South African batsmen had trouble against Kangaroo bowlers so Australia is looking to win the toss, elect to bat first and take a high lead.
