SA vs AUS: Australia will lock horns against South Africa in the 5th ODI of Australia tour of South Africa, 2023 on Sunday, September 16, 2023, at The Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg.

They will be eager to maintain their stellar form and carry South Africa to a series victory. Meanwhile, Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi, and Kagiso Rabada have been absolute beasts with the ball, and they are hungry to keep dominating the Australian batters.

On the other hand, there’s a dark cloud over Australia’s preparations for the pivotal ODI decider, especially with the World Cup 2023 looming large. Travis Head, their star opener, has been sidelined due to injury. It’s a tough pill to swallow. Now, the spotlight shifts to David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, and Marnus Labuschagne to carry the batting load for Australia, while their bowlers, who got a drubbing in the previous match, are out for redemption.
