Australia: Mitchell Marsh(Captain), David Warner, Travis Head, Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis, Alex Carey(wicketkeeper), Tim David, Aaron Hardie, Sean Abbott, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa
Preview: Australia will look to go 2-0 up when they take on South Africa in the second ODI in Bloemfontein on Saturday.
The visitors had rode on unbeaten knocks from Marnus Labuschagne (80*) and Ashton Agar (48*) to chase down 223 with three wickets in hand on Thursday at the same venue.
Barring skipper Temba Bavuma, it was a disappointing outing for the South African batters as they were bundled out for 222 in 49 overs. Bavuma scored an unbeaten 114, getting to his fifth ODI century.
With less than a month for the ODI World Cup to get underway, both teams would hope for much improved performances.
Apart from Travis Head (33), the Australian top and middle-order failed to fire collectively and had to depend on a 112-run stand between Labuschagne and Agar to cross the finish line.
Australia, however, will get more time to get acclimatized to the Indian conditions, with a three-match ODI series against India slated for later in September.
