AUS vs SA Dream11 45th Match Prediction | Australia vs South Africa ICC World Cup 2019
Australia and South Africa will be squaring off in the last league match of ICC World Cup 2019 which will be played at the Emirates Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester. Australia are the current table-toppers with 7 wins from 8 matches, whereas, South Africa with only 2 wins from 8 matches are placed at the 8th position.
A win here will consolidate Australia’s top spot but if they lose they might slip down to the second position where they will set a semi-final date against England. As far as the Proteas are concerned, they have had a nightmare of a World Cup this time around and will be looking to end their campaign with a win.
Best Performance in the World Cup:
South Africa: Champions in 1992 edition.
