When: October 12, 2023 at 14:00 IST

Where: Ekana Stadium, Lucknow

What to expect: It's a brand new pitch, so who knows? Only four ODIs have been played here and the pitches were relaid after this year's IPL. That followed the curator being fired for producing what Hardik Pandya called a "shocker" of a slow, turning surface on which India needed 19.5 overs to overhaul New Zealand's 99/8 in a T20I in January.

Teams:

Australia

Marcus Stoinis is over the hamstring problems that stopped him from bowling in Australia's last three ODIs and both their World Cup warm-up games. He should crack the nod ahead of Cameron Green, who has passed 30 once in his last six completed innings and taken more than one wicket once in nine ODIs.

Tactics & strategy

Given Australia's batting in Chennai, and the theory that Lucknow's conditions could be similar, the pressure will be on to avoid the kind of collapse that claimed eight wickets for 89 against India. Marcus Stoinis' likely addition should help shore up the middle order and help make that happen.

A downright un-Australian lack of direction afflicted Australia's performance against India. South Africans have seen it before - during the ODI series between the teams in South Africa last month, when the home side stood up at last to win the last three matches, and with that the rubber, after losing three T20Is and two ODIs to the visitors.

The Aussies need to rediscover their compass fast if this tournament isn't to recede in their rearview mirror.

Probable XI: David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Steven Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Glenn Maxwell, Alex Carey, Marcus Stoinis, Pat Cummins (capt), Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

South Africa

What to get for the XI who scored three centuries and posted a World Cup record total of 428/5 in their last game, against Sri Lanka in Delhi on Saturday? Perhaps a second spinner, what with India's three slow poisoners taking six wickets in Chennai and Lucknow expected to suit spin. Gerald Coetzee might have to make way for Tabraiz Shamsi.

Tactics & strategy

South Africa's shimmering batting in Delhi overshadowed a less convincing performance with the ball and in the field. They conceded runs too easily and dropped three catches and botched another - which didn't matter much considering the target they had put up. But they will want to nip those issues in the bud.

Lucknow's mystery pitch means that, in an important sense, the jury has to be out on whether they will be able to do so, but the bigger outfield compared to the Kotla should give them more room to take remedial action.

Probable XI: Temba Bavuma (capt), Quinton de Kock, Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, Tabraiz Shamsi
