There are some massive Group Stage games at this 2023 Cricket World Cup, and this match between Australia and South Africa is one that definitely slots into this category. This should be a cracking match, so make sure that you tune in on the 12th of October at 09:30 GMT. This 10th game of the tournament will be played at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow (try saying that fast three times). Below you can find ante post odds from top cricket betting sites and my betting advice.

Top Batsman Odds: Australia v South Africa
Are you the type of cricket bettor who likes to try your luck with some difficult markets? If so, then the top batsman market is one that you might want to take a closer look at. With this market, your aim is to try and predict the player that will bag the most runs for his team. The difficulty lies in the fact that one mistake by your chosen player could see your bet come to a premature end.
Below are the top batsman odds that two top bookmakers are offering for six quality batsmen taking part in this match:
Australia:
| Player | | |
|---|---|---|
| Steve Smith | 4.00 | 2.87 |
| David Warner | 4.33 | 3.00 |
| Glenn Maxwell | 4.50 | 5.00 |
South Africa:
| Player | | |
|---|---|---|
| Quinton de Kock | 4.33 | 3.25 |
| Rassie van der Dussen | 4.50 | 3.25 |
| Aiden Markram | 5.00 | 4.00 |
Top Wicket Taker Odds: Australia v South Africa
Some cricket betting fans might have more knowledge about a team's bowling department, and there is a top wicket taker market for those types of fans. With this market, you need to find the player who will get the most batsmen out - in the event of a tie, the bowler's economy will be the determining factor.
I have selected three bowlers from both teams and provided you with their top wicket taker odds for this match:
Australia:
| Player | | |
|---|---|---|
| Mitchell Starc | 4.33 | 2.87 |
| Josh Hazlewood | 5.00 | 3.25 |
| Adam Zampa | 4.00 | 3.60 |
South Africa:
| Player | | |
|---|---|---|
| Kagiso Rabada | 3.25 | 3.20 |
| Gerald Coetzee | 4.50 | 3.25 |
| Marco Jansen | 5.00 | 3.75 |

🔍 Australia v South Africa Match Winner Prediction
These two teams are very evenly matched, so it is not easy to call the winner. Not long before the World Cup started, these two nations faced off in a five-match ODI series, and South Africa went on to win 3-2 after having lost the opening two matches.
In their first game at the CWC against Sri Lanka, the South African top order were brilliant, scoring more than 400 runs, and then their bowlers finished the job with a very tight bowling performance. On the other hand, Australia batted poorly against India, not even making it past the 200 mark, and they ended up losing the match by six wickets.
I was really impressed with South Africa in all departments against Sri Lanka, so this is why I am backing South Africa to come out on top in a close encounter - although the bookies have the Australians as the slight favourites.
My Australia v South Africa winner prediction: South Africa to win!
✔️ Australia v South Africa CWC Betting Tips
I am now going to give you some of my main CWC betting tips for this Australia vs South Africa match:
Match Winner: South Africa to Win
These two countries have played each other 108 times in this format, and South Africa have 54 wins under their belt to Australia's 50 wins. The Proteas will enter this game with plenty of confidence after their recent big ODI series win against the Aussies and their top performance in their opening match of this competition.
Both teams have some huge hitters in their midst and plenty of pace among their bowling unit, and this should lead to a very entertaining game of cricket. Anyone attending this match might want to do so with a hard hat for some extra protection.
Both Australia and South Africa are evenly matched, but my hard-earned cash is on South Africa as they are the team in form. Anyone who agrees with me can make use of odds of 2.20 that Spreadex are offering.
Australia's Top Batsman Winner: Steve Smith to Win
There are plenty of huge hitters for Australia, so you are probably expecting me to opt for one of those as the top scorer, but I have actually opted for Steven Smith. He is Australia's anchor, so he will be tasked with knocking the ball around and building a score, while others will be left to hit the big shots. I predicted that he would be the top scorer against India, and I think he will do the same once more.
If you are of the same belief, then William Hill are currently offering odds of 4.00 for Smith to top score.
South Africa's Top Batsman Winner: Quinton de Kock to Win
After their batting display in the first match against Sri Lanka, it was certainly not an easy task to predict the top batter for South Africa against Australia. After much thought, I have decided to opt for Quinton de Kock as he is a very good batsmen with few weaknesses to his game. Additionally, he also has some good form heading into the game. I can see him cashing in at the top of the order once more.
If you want to put money on de Kock to top score, then William Hill are offering odds of 4.33.
Australia Top Wicket Taker: Mitchell Starc to Win Top Wicket Taker
The Aussies have always managed to create devastating fast bowlers, and Mitchell Starc is almost unplayable when he is at the top of his game. He has a devastating yorker that can splatter the stumps of even the best batsmen, and I think we might see him castle a few South African batsmen.
Those who want to bet on Starc to be the Aussies' top wicket taker, then William Hill have odds of 4.33.
South Africa's Top Wicket Taker: Kagiso Rabada to Win Top Wicket Taker
Kagiso Rabada is one of the best fast bowlers around at the moment, and the Aussies will know that he has the ability to rip out their top order if his bowling is on song. He gets his wickets by constantly putting the ball on a nagging line and length with plenty of speed, and I think he could end up taking at least three Australian wickets in this match.
Those who also see Rabada being South Africa's top wicket taker can bet on him with odds of 3.25 at William Hill.
