South Africa will lock horns with Australia in the second ODI of the five-match series at Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein, on Saturday.
Australia edged past South Africa in a nail-biting contest at the same venue on Thursday (September 7). After being put in to bat first, the Proteas could manage just 222 runs on the scoreboard. Captain Temba Bavuma top-scored for his team with an unbeaten 114 (142).
In reply, the Aussies were seen reeling at 113-7 before Marnus Labuschagne – the concussion substitute of Cameron Green – and Ashton Agar took the five-times World Champions out of hot water. The pair of Labuschagne and Agar stitched an unbroken partnership of 112 runs for the eighth wicket and propelled Australia to a three-wicket win with 58 balls to spare.

Mangaung Oval Pitch Report
The Mangaung Oval pitch is expected to be batsman-friendly while also offering substantial support to fast bowlers. Recent matches played at this stadium have shown a preference for chasing, as demonstrated in the series’ inaugural game where Australia effectively chased down a 225-run target. Consequently, the toss-winning captain is likely to choose to bowl first.
