Australia vs South Africa Prediction: South Africa to get an easy win

The ICC Champions Trophy tournament in Group B will face Australia against South Africa. They have faced each other in November at Perth Stadium in the T20I series. The event will take place live in the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Let`s delve right into the pieces of information of each team. 

Australia Recent form

Australia comes into this match to draw inspiration from their two-year victory over South Africa in the semi-finals of the Cricket World Cup. With a similar event that guarantees a semi-final spot, they will be looking to repeat history. They have won the ICC Championship Trophy twice and remain among the two teams to have ever achieved this feature. Two players who will be important in this fixture are Steve Smith and Travis Head. Steve Smith has been crucial in producing 10,000 test runs for the Green and Gold side.

Australia Predicted Lineup

Travis Head, Matt Short, Steve Smith, Josh Inglis (wk), Marnus Labuschagne, Glenn Maxwell, Aaron Hardie, Spencer Johnson, Sean Abbott, Adam Zampa, Nathan Ellis. 

South Africa's recent form

Statistically, South Africa can be very confident about this fixture. The reason is not far-fetched. This is simply because they have won four of the last fixtures between each team. The goal will be to land their first major trophy. Back in 2017 was their last at the Champions Trophy at the group stage. Although that campaign was affected by rain. Heinrich Klaasen is one difference-maker for the South Africa team.

Temba Bavuma (c), Tony de Zorzi, Tristan Stubbs, Aiden Markram Heinrich Klaasen (wk), David Miller, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi.

Both teams are in a strong position to win, especially after securing victories in their first matches. The bookies favor Australia; however, I expect an upset that will secure it for South Africa. Significantly, they are hungrier and have won more tough fixtures. Against each other, they have met 111 times with South Africa claiming victories in 55 of them.
