Show Preview
Against all odds, the third ODI of the series between Australia and South Africa in Hobart will decide who walks away with limited over bragging rights. Join The Roar for live scores and coverage from 1:50pm (AEDT).
The second match turned out to be an entertaining contest ruled by the ball. Neither side could put together much of an effort with the bat, making it a truly old-school ODI.
Australia were rolled for 231 in a poor performance, although Chris Lynn provided some entertaining hitting in the middle of the innings, while Alex Carey top scored with 47.
It was Adam Zampa, however, who produced perhaps the most important piece of batting we have seen in the first two matches of this series, with his 22 at the end of the innings ultimately leading the Australians to victory.
Despite going for plenty of runs, Kagiso Rabada was the most dangerous bowler for South Africa finishing with 4/54, while Dale Steyn (2/31) and Dwaine Pretorius (3/32) were consistently threatening.
It isn’t often that a team can defend 231 without bowling the opposition out in this day and age, but the Australians managed to do it with some bold captaincy.
The wickets of Quinton de Kock and Aiden Markram immediately put the host nation on the front foot, and Aaron Finch opting to bowl out his frontline bowlers a little early proved to be a match-winning move.
Marcus Stoinis was the hero with the ball finishing with three wickets, and keeps holding his spot in the side having shown his value in all three facets of the game in recent times.
South Africa may simply view the 2nd ODI as an aberration more than anything else, and likely back themselves to blow a vulnerable, yet confident Australian team out of the water.
It makes for an intriguing match-up in Hobart on Sunday afternoon.
Prediction
While the Australians have created a bit of momentum for themselves heading into the deciding match of the series, the South Africans have the stronger team overall and should simply be too good for the host nation.
The Proteas should win this game and the series.
