“I wasn’t too sure, whatever we do first, we’ll have to do well. Shamsi comes in for Coetzee. Bit of both (conditions and for the opposition). Shamsi has had decent success against them, we’d like to unleash them. There could be some spin and bounce. We always speak about assessing, trying to adapt, today will be no different. Quinny and myself should have a look in the first five overs and then see what could be a good score for us to post,” South Africa skipper Temba Bavuma said at the toss.

Stadium pitch report
Lucknow’s Ekana Cricket Stadium has historically favored spinners and was sluggish and slow throughout the IPL. Fast bowlers can also benefit from this slow pitch as the game moves on since they can use cutters and slower deliveries in addition to their usual offerings.
Even though there have only been four ODIs played at the venue, a trend has developed. The first- and second-batting teams each won two games, with the average first-inning score being 220.

In their cricketing history, South Africa and Australia have contested in 108 ODIs, with South Africa winning 54 times and Australia 50, while 3 matches concluded in a tie. One match had no result. The latest encounter at Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg on September 17 saw South Africa triumph by 122 runs, with Marco Jansen earning the Player Of The Match honors.
In World Cup clashes, they’ve met six times, with Australia emerging victorious thrice.

“I’m sure a lot of guys love the format. I’m not going to speak on behalf of everyone. For myself, it’s been doing it for a couple of years now, so I find it quite tiring. It’s been a long time for myself, but I’m sure there’s still a lot of guys, a lot of youngsters coming through the ranks, guys still at school growing up, they still would love to play this format and I highly recommend that they find a way to keep it going because there’s a lot of guys with big ambitions who want this format to carry on going which I think they need to find a place and a time for it to happen,” he said.

Talking to The ICC Review podcast, Ricky Ponting said: “Australia, to me, looked to be a fair way off the mark, to be honest, in that game against India. You can’t afford to be zip- and-two (0-2) in a World Cup. We know how important it is to finish up the top of the table. But I’ve still got full faith in their squad. It is a very good squad, a very talented squad. We know there’s a lot of all-rounders in that side.”
