CWC 19: Australia Face South Africa With Aim to Retain Top Position

MANCHESTER: Like India, Australia will also be eyeing for the top spot in the points table when they face South Africa in their last group stage encounter in the ICC World Cup 2019 at the Old Trafford in Manchester on Saturday.

The match will start at 05:30 pm PST.

Australia have been a dominant force in this World Cup, winning seven of the eight matches so far.

On the other hand, South Africa, plagued by injuries and poor form of their key players, have had a disappointing World Cup.

The four-time semi-finalists find themselves at the eighth position in the points table with two wins from eight matches.
