Australia will take on South Africa in the second ODI of the 5-match series on Saturday, September 9 at the Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein. The visitors won the preceding 3-match T20I series 3-0.
In the first ODI on Thursday, Australia chased down a 223-run target with three wickets remaining despite losing seven wickets for 113 runs. Marnus Labuschagne, who replaced Cameron Green as a concussion substitute, scored 80 unbeaten runs and forged an unbeaten 112-run partnership for the eighth wicket with Ashton Agar who scored 48 unbeaten runs.

South Africa were on the money and put their team on the cusp of a victory before the solid show from Labuschagne and Green. Earlier, South Africa captain Temba Bavuma scored a fighting hundred for his team in the first innings.
Both the teams are looking to iron out their flaws and get their team combinations right before the upcoming World Cup 2023 in India. Australia are missing the likes of Steve Smith, Pat Cummins, Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Starc due to their respective injuries of varying degree.
