Betting Odds

Pat Cummins on the Australia-South Africa rivalry, “I also always find with South Africa; we always match up quite similarly. They’ve always got some fast bowlers and some batters that take the game on, maybe a leg spinner. So, it always feels like a clash between two very similar teams. So yeah, no doubt it will be another great game tomorrow.”
