Australia – W W L W W South Africa – W W W L –
After conceding a 3-0 loss in T20Is against Australia, South Africa would look for revenge in the ODI series. And, they have a good recent record when it comes to ODIs, with 3 wins in a row. Even, the Australian team is in good form, with 4 wins in the last 5 matches. For SA, Aiden Markram is enjoying great form, having 440 runs in the previous 9 matches. For Australia, David Warner has accumulated 350 runs in the last 7 matches. Unlike the T20I series, both teams look equally deserving to win the ODI series.

Aiden Markram Stats ODI Career
Markram is the Mr. Consistent for South Africa at the moment. After putting up a good show in T20Is, he is all set to begin from where he had left in the last innings (175 runs).
Batting
Bowling
And of course, don’t forget what he’s capable of with bowling as well. 6 wickets in the last 5 matches is something that any all-rounder should be proud of.
Temba Bavuma Stats ODI Career
Bavuma is an attacking batsman who is known for playing long innings at a good pace. One century, one almost century, and one almost 150 in the last five innings is a mere glimpse of the touch he is having with the bat.
Australia have announced their XI in advance.
Travis Head Stats ODI Career
Travis is an amazing batsman who’s capable of a massacre at the top. When he gets going fielders watch helplessly. He’s got good starts in the last two games, which might be lull before the storm.
Adam Zampa Stats ODI Career
Adam Zampa is one of those hardworking cricketers who continue to try hard even if things don’t go their way. 3 four-wicket hauls in the last 5 matches shows what is capable of even on an unfriendly pitch.
It is going to be a tough prediction because South Africa looks like a very different and difficult team when it comes to ODIs. The team has been on a winning streak for the last 3 matches. Similarly, Australia have won 4 of the last 5 games. Further, they are on cloud nine after handing SA a humiliating 3-0 defeat in the just-concluded T20I series. However, SA has a 5-0 advantage when it comes to the last 5 head-to-head comparison.
In such a dilemma, Australia have a slight edge in terms of a clean sweep in the T20I series.
