South Africa vs Australia Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

Temba Bavuma has been one of the most consistent batters for South Africa in this format. He was sensational in the last series against Pakistan and has scored 503 runs in 2024 which makes us believe he will score well in the upcoming game.

Steve Smith headed into the series against India struggling for consistency but he was sensational in the series as he scored two centuries. We expect Smith to make an impact and to score well in the upcoming game.

South Africa vs Australia Betting Odds

Australia to have a better opening partnership than South Africa

South Africa and Australia go head to head for the first time since 2023 in what seems like the most important Test match between the two heavy weights. The last teams these two squared off Australia won the series 2-0. South Africa head into this game after seven consecutive wins and would be hoping to continue their momentum and win the championship for the first time. On the other hand, Australia has been sensational in the last 12 months. They beat India 3-1 at home and then beat Sri Lanka 2-0 prior to this game. We expect Australia to turn up when the stakes are high and to win back to back championships. We also believe Australia will have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.
