South Africa vs Australia Today Match Prediction Preview:

Welcome to the SA vs AUS Today Prediction curated by Kheltalk cricket experts. South Africa will be locking horns with Australia in the 2^nd ODI at Bloemfontein.

The 1^st ODI between these two sides on 7^th September ended up being an absolute humdinger of a game. It was a low-scoring thriller and it was dotted with several ebbs and flows.

Australia’s Marnus Labuschange, who came in as a concussion substitute for Cameron Green, played a larger-than-life knock to steer Australia home at Bloemfontein.

South African skipper Temba Bavuma too hogged the limelight after he became the 13^th player in ODI cricket to “carry his bat”, after his unbeaten knock of 114 runs.

His knock was laced with 14 fours and 1 six and played with remarkable resilience.
