Australia lost their opening game of the ODI World Cup 2023 to India at Chepauk, Chennai by six wickets despite the hosts being at 2/3 at one point.

The five-time champions' second fixture is against an in-form South Africa, fresh from scoring the highest score in an ODI World Cup match -- 428 against Sri Lanka. Aiden Markram scored the fastest ODI century in the World Cup (49 balls), and the likes of Quinton de Kock and Rassie van der Dussen are also looking in ominous form. The Aussies need a win badly but Proteas would know, a win here would elevate them in the top-half of the league table whereas the men from Down Under would find themselves languishing at the bottom.
