AUS vs SA Great Barrier Reef Arena Pitch Report:
The pitch at the Great Barrier Reef Arena appeared to be a good sporting surface during the second AUS vs SA ODI, and is expected to be the same for the final game of the series to be played at the same venue.
The wicket had assistance for the bowlers throughout the duration of the game that took place on Friday, given that you pitch the ball in the right areas as a bowler, which both teams did.
Although South Africa won the match comfortably in the end, there is no denying the fact that Australia were in the game till the 20th over despite losing early wickets courtesy of a fourth wicket partnership between Cameron Green and Josh Inglis.
The duo added 67 runs for the fourth wicket after Australia were reduced to 38-3 in pursuit of 278 runs, with Inglis falling 13 runs short of a well-deserved century.
Despite losing the series, Australia will back themself to win the last game and would bank on their batters to bat a little more responsibly as compared to how they did in the first two matches.
South Africa, on the other hand, would want to replicate the performance they delivered in the previous two matches in the upcoming game as well.
As was the case in the first and second games of the series, the team batting first will have high chances of winning the match, and the captain who wins the toss should bat first in the last match.
A score of around 280-290 can prove to be enough for the team that bats first, as the chasing team hasn't won a single match in the series so far.
Both teams will look to end the tour with a win, more so Australia, as they have been outplayed in both ODIs so far and would want to make a strong comeback by winning the third and final match.
While South Africa will have the opportunity to test their bench strength, and would also want the team's regular captain, Temba Bavuma, to be available for this particular match.
Conclusion
Australia would like to salvage some pride by winning the final game of the three-match ODI series and avoiding a clean sweep in their own backyard.
As far as South Africa is concerned, the Proteas will look to continue the momentum that they have on their side and win the third ODI as well.
