Champions Trophy 2025: Predicting South Africa’s Playing XI for their clash against Australia

South Africa started their tournament on a great note by winning the game against Afghanistan with a huge margin of 107 runs. Their next challenge is against the mighty Australians, who won their first game too, quite dramatically. Well, Josh Inglis’ century came at the right time, taking the team home. It was a great game of cricket and the Aussies will hope to continue the momentum in the upcoming match as well. The clash between South Africa and Australia will be extremely fun and interesting as the players are in good form. 

Here’s the predicted South Africa’s Playing XI against Australia:

Top Order:

Ryan Rickelton, Tony de Zorzi, and Temba Bavuma are the top-order batters for South Africa. Rickelton and Bavuma played brilliantly in the first game, scoring a century and half-century, respectively. They gave the perfect start to the team, which was later capitalized by the middle-order batters. Captain Bavuma assisted Rickelton before getting out on 58 runs. 

Middle Order:

Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, David Miller, and Marco Jansen are the middle order batters. They are the backbone of the team and did well in the previous match. The Australian bowlers will be afraid of the batting lineup since the players know how to hit the balls out of the park. 

Bowlers:

Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, and Wiaan Mulder are the prime bowlers of the team. South Africa have a good bowling attack which is why they won the game against Afghanistan. If the bowlers did well in the upcoming game, their chances of qualifying for the semi-finals will increase with the win against Australia.
