We can expect batters and bowlers to have their fair share on this wicket right from the initial overs. We can see spinners dominating the middle overs. However, batters need to toil hard to score timely boundaries.

AUS vs SA, 1st ODI Top Picks

Aiden Markram

Aiden Markram could bring in his all-round capabilities, giving a lot of fantasy points in both batting and bowling departments. 

Dewald Brevis

As seen in the T20I series, Brevis can bring his dashing and attacking batting skills to the ODI series as well.

Travis Head

Head failed to live up to expectations in the three-match T20I series. However, we can expect him to turn the tables in the ODI series.

Temba Bavuma

Bavuma is one of the most improved players of late in this particular format. We can expect him to start off the series on a positive note.
