AUS vs SA 3rd ODI Dream11 Team Prediction and Probable XI: Preview

Hello and Welcome to our preview for Australia vs South Africa match. We are covering AUS vs SA 3rd ODI Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the ODI match. The match is to be played at Bellerive Oval, Hobart.

Australia won a thriller in the second ODI at the Adelaide Oval to break their maligned streak of losses in the 50-over format. The series now stands at 1-1 going into the third ODI at Hobart. Either of the team will be hoping to gain an advantage with a win here.

South Africa won the toss and inserted Australia to bat first. The home team kept losing wickets regularly and despite the scores of forty-plus from three batsmen (Finch, Lynn and Carey), they were under the threat of ending inside 200 runs. Adam Zampa led the late surge with a 22 from 24 balls and carried Australia to 231runs.

The chase from South Africa was a fractured one and at 68/4 they were in a serious trouble. Captain FAF Du Plessis ignited hopes alongside David Miller with a 74-run partnership. Miller fought hard after Du Plessis perished but it was not enough as SAF conceded a seven-run loss.

Team News:

Australia:

Australia might turn to Ashton Agar in Sunday’s one-day series decider against South Africa in Hobart.

The 25-year-old spinner will come under selection discussion in an Australian camp buoyed by a breakthrough win in Adelaide.

With the series squared, Australia will again field a spinner although leggie Adam Zampa is feeling the squeeze after 0-57 from nine overs in Adelaide.

They will be worried about Maxwell’s lack of runs.

Ben McDerMott or D’Arcy Short is another option in the waiting, who can come in place of Travis Head.

Adam Zampa was treated harshly in the second ODI but the selectors can choose to show faith in the spinner once again.

South Africa:

Dwaine Pretorius did take three wickets but his inclusion lengthens the tail thus decreasing South African batting capability.

It will be a hard decision for the selectors to include Phehlukwayo in place of Pretorious.

F Behardien and Chris Morris can be added in place of Heinrich Klaasen.

Probable Playing XI:

AUS:
Aaron Finch (c), Travis Head, Shaun Marsh, Chris Lynn, Alex Carey (wk), Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa/Ashton Agar.

SA:
Quinton de Kock (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Aiden Markram, Faf du Plessis (c), C Morris/F Behardien/Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, D Pretorius/Andile Phehlukwayo, Dale Steyn, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, Imran Tahir.
