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.
