AUS vs SA Match Prediction—Head-to-Head Record
South Africa has started to widen the gap between them and Australia as far as the results of the ODI matches played between the two sides are concerned.
The overall head-to-head record of the AUS vs SA ODI matches before the start of the ongoing three-match series was 55-51 in favour of South Africa, which has swelled to 57 wins for South Africa.
Australia, on the other hand, hasn't been able to bridge the difference between them and the visitors in terms of the number of wins in ODI cricket.
Total Matches Played: 112
AUS Won: 51
SA won: 57
Tie: 03
No Result: 01
Pitch Report & Conditions
The Great Barrier Reef Arena in Mackay presented a typical ODI wicket for the previous match, as there was assistance for the bowlers throughout the game, and the batters had to apply themselves to score runs.
The pitch for the upcoming contest is expected to be no different, given that there was just a day's gap between the second and third ODI.
Weather Report
There is no chance of rain during the match. The temperature is expected to be a high of 26 degrees and a low of 16 degrees.
