AUS vs SA: Winner Prediction
Markram, in particular, had the game he would never forget as he smashed the fastest hundred in World Cup history. But things are not going to be same in Lucknow, where boundaries are a bigger than Delhi, and scoring runs would be difficult as the pitch is slow comparitively.
They would want to be more careful towards the line they bowl against the mighty Aussies.
The quality of battle is going to be absolutely high with Australia expected to take the honours considering their past record.
