Champions Trophy | Live scoring: Proteas v Australia

The Proteas started their Champions Trophy campaign with an important win over Afghanistan, but the South African side is now set for a true test of their title credentials as they take on Australia in Rawalpindi.

Victory will not guarantee either team progression to the semi-finals, but it would put the winner in a strong spot to top their group.

Quotes to note

“We probably don’t want to chase 350 too many more times but our bowlers will learn a lot from that hit out.”
Australia batter Alex Carey reflects on the game against England

“We’re quite bullish about our chances. Even though in the [preceding] tri-series, we didn’t have all our guys, it still was an opportunity for us to get whatever intel that we can on the conditions and share that information with all the other guys who came in. Confidence is good. We’re quite optimistic about our chances and how far we can go in this competition.”
South Africa captain Temba Bavuma
