South Africa, on the other hand, is exuding confidence after registering a decisive victory over Sri Lanka in their most recent match. The Proteas, led by Temba Bavuma, will want to beat Australia in order to maintain their winning streak. Their top order, which came out firing in the most recent ODI World Cup match, will try to perform admirably once more against the Men in Yellow.

Pitch Report for Ekana Cricket Stadium

The bowlers greatly favor the surface at Lucknow’s Ekana Cricket Stadium. Particularly the spinners will benefit greatly from such a surface. The batters will try to play it cool in the early going and gradually lengthen their innings. In light of this, the captain who wins the toss at this location may choose to bowl first.
