AUS vs SA Cazaly's Stadium Pitch Report:
The Cazaly's Stadium has hosted five ODI games so far, and it is difficult to suggest whether the team batting first will have an advantage or the chasing team will dictate the game.
Out of the five matches that have been played at this venue in ODI cricket, three have been won by the chasing team, while a couple of matches have gone in favour of the side that has batted first.
However, with the upcoming AUS vs SA ODI match being a day-night affair, the team that wins the toss should opt to bowl first, as batting is expected to become easy as the match progresses.
The reason for that is due to it might play a huge role in the second innings, and the bowlers, especially the spinners, can find it difficult to grip the ball.
The team that bats first should look to score 280-290 runs as the surface at this venue might not be as flat as some other grounds in Australia, and the bowlers might get consistent help from the wicket.
If we compare the personnel that both sides have at their disposal, South Africa may have a slight edge as the home team, Australia, is without the services of their regular captain and fast bowler, Pat Cummins, along with Mitchell Starc.
In the batting department as well, Australia seems to be a bit depleted as the Australian ODI team is going through a transition with a few of their vital players retiring from the format.
South Africa, on the other hand, is also going through a transition, but the majority of its young players have had some kind of long-form cricket under their belt and will be boosted by the return of ODI captain Temba Bavuma.
South Africa's bowling department also looks stronger than Australia's, with the presence of experienced bowlers like Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, and Keshav Maharaj.
Conclusion
Australia would like to continue the momentum that the team has gained courtesy of a win in the three-match T29I series against South Africa and register a win in the first of the three ODIs against the same opposition.
As far as South Africa is concerned, the Proteas would also want to start the series on a positive note after a close loss in the final T20I and would hope to put their best foot forward in the series opener.
