Cricket World Cup 2023 | Australia, South Africa in battle of heavyweights

The Hindu  

The most enduring memories of ODIs between Australia and South Africa invoke the shock of seeing Allan Donald inexplicably rooted at the non-striker’s end in a tied World Cup semifinal in 1999 and the thrill of a Protean pursuit of a record 435 in 2006 at Johannesburg in a match that gave 50-over cricket its first taste of 400-plus totals. Between these events and beyond, South Africa has reinforced its ‘choker’ tag while Australia has added four World Cup titles. But with the winds of change blowing across cricketing meadows and knocking down cherished ideals and dogmas, South Africa is showing signs of shedding that tag and injecting life into the one-dayers. Onus on bowlers Australia and South Africa have the worst death overs economy rate among teams in the tournament this year, and how their bowlers fare in this phase against a pantheon of hard-hitters could determine the contest.
