Australia look to wrap up the series at MCG

After their capital execution in Canberra, Australia have the opportunity to wrap up an arrangement win on Friday. They ought to relish the opportunity to do so at the MCG, where the World Cup final will be held in a little more than four months. Both Australia and South Africa will long for being a piece of that decider on March 29 and it is not impossible that they could meet one another there. That makes this amusement a little dress-practice; Australia can secure a trophy with triumph on Friday, South Africa must evade annihilation to keep the challenge alive.

It has been outstanding that in every one of the three matches in this way, Australia have batted first. Twice that brought about 300 or more aggregates that brought down the South Africans, and once in a Perth fall that cost them the amusement. Should AB de Villiers win the throw in Melbourne, he may be slanted to bat and put Australia under the weight of pursuing. One and only of the previous five Odis at the MCG has been won by the group batting second.

Both sides are additionally working out a few wrinkles in their line-ups. South Africa's equalization has looked topsy-turvey without the harmed JP Duminy, and they must choose whether they can stand to depend on part-clocks Farhaan Behardien and de Villiers for 10 overs once more, or reinforce their assault. Australia abbreviated their batting line-up by hacking out Glenn Maxwell in Canberra and it didn't cost them, however their defenselessness to incidental batting breakdown implies it is constantly hard to anticipate what number of they will make.

In the spotlight

There has been a lot of discussion Mitchell Johnson over the previous year, yet his namesake Mitchell Starc may very well be approaching as one of the key men for Australia at the World Cup. He gathered four wickets in Australia's win in Canberra and eminently was making history the ball to turn around swing. Starc's ODI record is solid yet at home it is particularly so - in 14 amusements in Australia he has taken 27 wickets at 17.03, including two four-fors and two five-wicket pulls. His previous four Odis at home have presented to him 15 wickets for 134.
