Champions Trophy 2025: Australia vs South Africa – Stats Preview

Australia will square off against South Africa in the ongoing Champions Trophy at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi on Tuesday. Both of these powerhouses had won their respective opening matches and they will look to carry the winning impetus.

While South Africa registered a 107-run win against Afghanistan, Australia secured a five-wicket win against arch-rivals England. Australia are without the pace trio of Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Josh Hazlewood but once again showed that it is not prudent to write them off in a major ICC event. Josh Inglis scored an impressive hundred against the Three Lions whereas Alex Carey and Matthew Short also delivered with the bat.

On the other hand, the Proteas are coming with more consistent performances in the big events and they would look to tick the right boxes against Australia.

Stats Preview:

Glenn Maxwell needs 17 runs to reach the 4000-run mark in the 50-over version.

David Miller needs 11 sixes to complete 150 maximums in ODIs.

Rassie van der Dussen needs four fours and five sixes to complete 200 boundaries and 50 maximums respectively in ODIs.

Heinrich Klaasen needs 11 fours to complete 200 boundaries in ODIs.

Lungi Ngidi needs one wicket to reach 100 scalps in the ODI format.

Australia: Steve Smith (c), Sean Abbott, Alex Carey, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Aaron Hardie, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Spencer Johnson, Marnus Labuschagne, Glenn Maxwell, Tanveer Sangha, Matthew Short, Adam Zampa.

South Africa: Temba Bavuma (c), Tony de Zorzi, Marco Jansen, Heinrich Klaasen, Keshav Maharaj, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Wiaan Mulder, Lungi Ngidi, Kagiso Rabada, Ryan Rickelton, Tabraiz Shamsi, Tristan Stubbs, Rassie van der Dussen, Corbin Bosch.
