AUS vs RSA Match Prediction & Analysis
Both teams came into their opening fixtures needing to find some confidence after suffering injuries to key pace bowlers and struggling in this format of late but wins by five wickets over England and by 107 runs over Afghanistan mean Australia and South Africa are both in strong positions ahead of this Group B clash on Tuesday.
Games between these sides are rarely dull, from the 1999 Cricket World Cup semi-final to the 'sandpapergate' incident in Test cricket during the last decade, these are two teams who like to play hard.
It is South Africa who have had the upper-hand over recent years in ODIs though and they will be looking for their 16th win from their last 20 head to heads against Australia.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Australia Preview
It is not often that a team conceded 351 runs in an ODI but then goes on and wins the game with 15 balls remaining but that is exactly what Australia did when they played their great rivals England on Saturday.
Although they would like to have conceded fewer runs, there were some fine performances with Ben Dwarshuis continuing to show that he is an international level cricketer by dismissing both Phil Salt and Jamie Smith in the powerplay. Adam Zampa produced another impressive display of spin bowling and Nathan Ellis showed the value of variations in keeping the run-rate down.
With the bat, Matthew Short (63) and Alex Carey (69 not out) will both come into this game with plenty of confidence but it will be Josh Inglis, who has a poor record against South Africa, who will be relishing the opportunity to right that wrong after making 120 not out from 86 balls.
AUS Over/Under Betting Tips
Short is averaging 3 fours per game in the last three ODI matches played, he is a natural boundary hitter and scores most of his runs in boundaries. In the last game against England, Short scored 63 runs in 66 balls, where he scored 42 runs in boundaries. He opens the innings and can capitalise in the first 10 overs.
Australia Predicted Playing XI:
Matthew Short, Travis Head, Steven Smith (c), Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis (wk), Alex Carey, Glenn Maxwell, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Spencer Johnson

South Africa Preview
There could be a selection dilemma for South Africa ahead of this game after Ryan Rickelton came into the team in place of the injured Heinrich Klaasen against Afghanistan and hit 103 runs from 106 balls at the top of the order!
With that century contributing to a victory by 107 runs, it could be that South Africa feel they can afford to give Klaasen a few more days rest but if not then Tony de Zorzi's place at the top of the order could be in danger.
That's because there were also useful half-centuries from Temba Bavuma, Rassie van der Dussen and Aiden Markram in a fine batting display.
With the ball, Kagiso Rabada roared back into form with 3/36 from 8.3 overs and he will spearhead the attack once more with Lungi Ngidi and Marco Jansen also providing pace and accuracy.
SA Over/Under Betting Tips
The left hander scored his maiden ODI hundred against Afghanistan, where he smashed 7 fours and 1 six. Rickelton is in rich vain of form and looks unstoppable. On a good batting track at Rawalpindi, you can expect another impactful knock from the southpaw and we predict his 4's count to be over 2.5 against the Aussies.
Bavuma scored 58 runs in the last match against Afghanistan. The skipper of South Africa is in good touch and has been the innings builder for the Proteas. He will once again be the key batter at number 3. He has been scoring runs consistently and averages 46.3 in ODI's against Australia where he scored 278 runs in 7 matches.
South Africa Predicted Playing XI:
Ryan Rickelton (wk), Tony de Zorzi, Temba Bavuma (c), Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Wiaan Mulder, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi

Average Turn
The pitch in Rawalpindi is a good one for batting so with the overhead conditions favouring the bowlers it could be a leveller! Whoever bats first will be looking to post a total of 300+.
Total Over/Under Betting Tips
The matches between Australia and South Africa have always been high scoring in recent times and both teams are coming off good batting performance in their last outing where they scored over 300 runs. The pitch at Rawalpindi favours the batters and we predict it to be a high scoring match and the total match score to be over 610 runs.
We predict the luck to be in favour of Australia to win the coin toss in match 7 of ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
Toss: To Bowl
Of the last five ODIs at this venue, only one has been won by the team batting first without the use of a super-over! And with the conditions looking good for bowlers, we expect both teams to want to chase.
AUS vs RSA
Winning Prediction
Neither side is at full-strength ahead of this game but both will be full of self-belief after winning their openers. We expect a close game but with a stronger bowling attack, we fancy South Africa to come out on top.
