Today's match saw the opposite of what I thought. As both the teams are not playing at their home ground, I expected both teams to get equal advantage. South Africa batted first and collected 311 runs. It was very easy for a strong team like Australia to score 312 from 300 balls to win. But as Australia came into bat, we saw the bowling pitch, the South African bowlers got more advantage by bowling well. Australia fell by 4 wickets in the first 12 overs which was unusual. The team came under a lot of pressure and were eventually bowled out for 177 runs. Australia team performs very well in the World Cup but in this World Cup we see the opposite. Australia lost two matches by a big margin. If Australia does not do well in the next few matches, there will be a possibility of elimination.
The performance of the Australian team has been going badly for some time now. After losing the series to South Africa, they have also lost the series to India and in the World Cup match, India has badly defeated Australia.Today's defeat is a link of these series.I don't think the Australian team will be able to cope now, but the Australian team will still face difficulties.
I think the South African openers got off to a good start which did not put too much pressure on the later batsmen, the Australian batsmen looked under pressure from the start and could not play openly against the South African bowlers. There was no home ground, but South Africa had a psychological advantage over Australia, which Africa took full advantage of.
