    3rd ODI: South Africa stand in do-or-die encounter against Australia

    What's the story

    South Africa will fight a do-or-die battle against Australia in the third ODI of the five-match series.

    Having lost the first two games, the Proteas side would be low on confidence.

    Notably, Australia are missing out on the services of several key players for this series.

    SA have displayed a below-par show.

    Here is the preview of the third ODI.

    Details 

    Pitch report, timing, and broadcast details

    The Senwes Park in Potchefstroom will host the third ODI on Tuesday (September 12).

    As the track here offers pace and bounce, the top-order batters can have a hard time against the new ball.

    The conditions are expected to ease out for batting.

    The duel will be telecast live on Star Sports Network (4:30pm IST) and live-streamed on Disney+ Hotstar and Fancode (paid subscription).

    A look at the head-to-head record

    South Africa are just ahead of Australia in terms of head-to-head record in ODIs, having clinched 51 of the 105 ODIs against them.

    While Australia emerged winners 50 times, the two sides have played out three tied matches (NR: 1).

    At home, SA have 25 wins and 22 defeats against the Aussie side (Tie: 1).

    SA

    SA let down by big guns

    Marnus Labuschagne has been on a roll in this series, playing back-to-back match-winning knocks.

    Even David Warner bounced back to form with a hundred in the last game.

    For SA, skipper Temba Bavuma has led from the front.

    Rassie van der Dussen and Aiden Markram are yet to fire in this series.

    Kagiso Rabada has looked far away from his best.
