Can Australia find a way?

Australia haven't been at their best of late. They surrendered a 2-0 lead against SA in a five-match series, losing 3-2.

This was followed by a 2-1 series loss against India going into the World Cup.

After a shy outing against India in the opener, Australia will want to bounce their way back.

Consistency is required across all three departments.

SA are the team to beat at the moment

South Africa are the team to beat at the moment. They have the momentum with them and this spells trouble for Australia.

SA's batting holds the key and one can see plenty of match-winners in the unit. In spin, Keshav Maharaj will look to make his presence felt. Kagiso Rabada leads a solid pace department.

SA have what it takes to down Australia.
