Lucknow will host their first game of the 2023 World Cup as Australia get ready to take on the formidable South Africa. The two teams had recently met in a bilateral series where South Africa came back from a 0-2 deficit to win the series. Australia have struggled a bit in the fifty-over format off late and it was evident as they were thumped by India in their opening match of this massive tournament. The Aussies are not used to being under pressure but against the Proteas, the team can ill afford to drop their guard. South Africa have scored past 400 in their last two ODI matches and their batting unit is one of the best in the world. This game will be more about carrying on the momentum for them. Australia versus South Africa will be telecasted on the Star Sports network and streamed on the Hotstar app from 2:00 pm IST. ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Points Table Updated.

The form of wicket-keeper Alex Carey is a worry for Australia with him lacking the runs in the last few games. Marcus Stoinis will be pushing for a place in the playing eleven as he is well-versed with the playing conditions in Lucknow. David Warner and Mitchell Marsh will have to find a way to give Australia the perfect start in the powerplays so that the middle order can consolidate.

Tabraiz Shamsi is likely to be given a chance against Australia considering how they faired against spinners in the past. South Africa has made big hitting in the middle overs a norm with the likes of Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, and David Miller contributing heavily. Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi will spearhead the pace attack for the team. ICC World Cup 2023 Schedule, Free PDF Download Online: Get CWC Tournament Fixtures, Time Table with Match Timings in IST and Venue Details
