SA-C vs AUS-C Team Previews

South Africa Champions

South Africa Champions did an excellent job in the league stages of the competition by winning four out of their five games. They collected eight points with these four wins and ended the league with a net run rate of +2.494. South African Legends are going into this contest on the back of four wins in their last five games.

The only match they dropped was against the table leaders, Pakistan Champions. They also won their last game of the league against the same opposition, Australia Champions, by a healthy margin of 95 runs.
South Africa Champions batted first in the last game of the league to raise a massive target of 241 runs while losing six wickets.

This total was possible mainly due to the efforts of their skipper AB de Villiers, who struck a brilliant 123 from just 46 balls with eight sixes. JJ Smuts helped him with 85 runs from 53 balls.

The openers put up 187 runs for the first wicket in 13.3 overs. Aaron Phangiso was the best bowler for South Africa with four wickets for just 13 runs. Imran Tahir helped him with three wickets from his four overs for 27 runs. These will be the top batters and bowlers for South Africa in this contest as well.

South Africa Champions Expected Playing 11

JA Rudolph, SJ Erwee, AB de Villiers (c), JP Duminy, JJ Smuts, MN van Wyk (wk), WD Parnell, Aaron Phangiso, GC Viljoen, D Olivier, Imran Tahir.

Australia Champions

Australian Champions did a reasonable job in the league phase of the competition. They won two games and lost two to raise five points in the points table. One of the games ended in no-result. They ended up with a net run rate of -1.523. Aussie Champions are going into this contest on the back of two defeats against South Africa Champions and Pakistan Champions.

They went down heavily against Pakistan with a demoralising ten-wicket loss with 73 balls to spare. These two heavy losses would have placed a damper on the Aussie prospects in this competition.

The Australian batting in their last contest fell apart against the spin bowling of Saeed Ajmal. They were bowled out for 74 runs. Just two Australian batters could reach double figures. Ben Dunk was the top run-getter with 26 runs from 14 balls with two sixes.

The bowlers did not have much of a target to aim at, and the Pakistani openers easily chased the target in 7.3 overs. Peter Siddle again bowled well, like he did in the earlier game. But there were just not enough runs on the board.

Australia Champions Expected Playing 11

Shaun Marsh, Chris Lynn, D Arcy Short, Ben Dunk (wk), Callum Ferguson, Daniel Christian, Ben Cutting, John Hastings, Steve O'Keefe, Brett Lee (c), Peter Siddle.

SA-C vs AUS-C Toss Prediction

The ground of Edgbaston has seen teams batting first set better targets in T20I games. The team batting first has won all eight men's T20I contests held at this venue. Therefore, it might be a good idea for the skipper winning the coin flip to bat first.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The wicket on offer at the Edgbaston ground is a balanced one. There will be help for the spinners and pacers from the track. Batting first will allow the batters to take advantage of the more conducive batting conditions. The wicket is likely to wear down after that. We are likely to get clear weather during this encounter.

The temperature during the contest will remain close to 14 degrees.

SA-C vs AUS-C: Who Will Win?

South African Champions have been in terrific form in this competition. They have won four out of their five games in the league stages of the tournament. Australian bowlers will have to get rid of AB de Villiers early in the contest to harbour any hopes of restricting the South African batting charge.

We reckon South Africa Champions to start as favorites to win this contest and advance to the final of the competition.

Bet on the South Africa Champions to win this match.

SA-C vs AUS-C win percentage stands at 55% in favor of SA-C.
