Australia’s squad adjustments and South Africa’s spin enhancement:

The game witnessed Australia’s strategic changes as they won the toss and elected to field first on a relatively untested pitch against the South African squad in the Cricket World Cup. Australia made two notable substitutions to their lineup, with wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey making way for Josh Inglis, and all-rounder Marcus Stoinis returning after recovering from a hamstring injury, replacing the struggling Cameron Green. On the other hand, South Africa opted to bolster their spin bowling by introducing left-arm spinner Tabraiz Shamsi in place of fast bowler Gerald Coetzee.
