South Africa and Australia are preparing for their final meeting in this white-ball tour series, scheduled for Thursday 15 September. The crucial fourth ODI of the series will take place at Supersport Park in Centurion.

After winning the third ODI, South Africa will look to win the fourth ODI and level the series. The match will be played at SuperSport Park, Centurion and will begin on September 15.

South Africa finally managed to break the losing streak against Australia and won the third ODI to keep the series alive. South Africa were outplayed in the first five games, including three T20Is, but it was a different team with a positive attitude that entered the park in the 3rd ODI.

The team played aggressive cricket and posted a whopping score of 338-6 before defeating Australia by 227 runs and winning the match by 111 runs. The good news for South Africa is that most of the senior players scored runs for the team. Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma hit crisp half-centuries while Aiden Markram scored a brilliant 102 off 74 balls. After winning the 3rd ODI, South Africa will show a more energetic and confident face in the 4th ODI.

For Australia, they will be disappointed that they couldn't reach the score of 339. They got off to a flying start, scoring 140 runs in 15 overs, losing one wicket, but collapsed and lost the game. There were many starts but apart from David Warner, who scored 78 points, no one was able to go on and score the big 100 points. Still, the team is expected to come back strong as they have been in great form.

Match Preview

South Africa (SA) will face Australia (AUS) in the 4th ODI match of the Australia Tour of South Africa 2023 at SuperSport Park in Centurion on September 15. The series is well placed between these two teams with Australia leading the series 2-1 but South Africa have just picked up their pace and won their last game by a good margin.

The final match between the two teams was played at Senwes Park in Potchefstroom, where Australia won the toss and elected to field. It was a great decision for the African team to be deployed at batsman as the batsmen looked great right from the start. The openers put up a sensational partnership of 146 runs after which the baton was passed to the middle order and they did not disappoint. Aiden Markram hit a brilliant century to remain unbeaten and a great finish with the help of Marco Jansen helped South Africa to a total of 338 runs.

Australia had already performed extremely well with the bat so far in the series and were confident of taking the chase. They went into the chase full force from the start and actually did a great job. Within the first two partnerships they had already scored 140 runs in just 15 overs and it looked like an easy task. At this point, African bowling made a comeback and started taking wickets in succession on a regular basis. Soon Australia were bowled out for a total of 227 runs and lost the match by 111 runs.

Match Prediction

Australia starts as favorites. The team led by Mitchell Marsh was first class in the series. Yes, they lost the last game, but overall they were fantastic. Even in the last game they were chasing the overall score, but some players had poor shots. Most of the Australian players are in good form so we expect them to come back strong. For us, Australia is the favorite to win.

Betting Tips

If Bavuma can score another century and get at least half a century ahead of de Kock and Klaasen, a total score of around 350 is possible. The bowling needs to improve and the Aussies can't get that easy shots but we saw good overs from Shamsi and Rabada. Hopefully Nortje or Ngidi can start picking up wickets.

Bet on South Africa to win.

South Africa Key Players

Temba Bavuma – Bavuma also scored 57 in the 3rd ODI. Bavuma has been one of South Africa's most consistent players and has been very good in the ongoing series. He had also scored a brilliant century in the first game.

Aiden Markram – Markram also put his poor form behind him and scored a brilliant century that helped South Africa to a big result. Markram is also a practical option with the ball.

Australia Key Players

David Warner – Warner was in stunning form in the ODI series. In the third ODI, he scored 78 to put Australia in the hunt for victory, but his wicket triggered a collapse and Australia lost the game. Warner also has a century behind him in the series.

Marnus Labuschagne – Labuschagne was also in top form. The batsman was brought in as a replacement for Cameron Green due to a concussion and seized the opportunity with both hands, scoring 80 and 124 in the first two games.

Travis Head – Head will be an important player for South Africa. Head has batted well on the tour but can also step in with the ball if the spinners get help on the field. Head took two wickets in the last game.
