Australia vs South Africa, ICC World Cup 2019: Toss update

In their last match of the World Cup 2019, South Africa won the toss and opted to bat first. While the Proteas have had a below-par tournament and are out of the semis race, the Australians have already qualified for the semis. They will want to win here and consolidate their place at the top of the order, so that they face New Zealan and not England in the semis. 

Faf, SA captain: Going to have a bat. Looks a good wicket. Forced change. Playing a second spinner. Hashim Amla got hit on the knee yesterday, he's missing. Chance to look at Shamsi. Haven't played our best cricket. Today is a big occassion. SA-AUS games are a big occasion to be part of.

Finch, AUS captain: Nice to recharge the batteries, had a hectic period for a bit in the middle. That's what's been pleasing from our point of view. Have continued to improve in all areas of the game. Unchanged again. Behrendorff has been bowling beautifully with the new ball. Starc, Cummins, Lyon, everyone's been chipping in, even with the bat

South Africa (Playing XI): Quinton de Kock(w), Aiden Markram, Faf du Plessis(c), Rassie van der Dussen, Jean-Paul Duminy, Dwaine Pretorius, Andile Phehlukwayo, Chris Morris, Kagiso Rabada, Imran Tahir, Tabraiz Shamsi

Australia (Playing XI): David Warner, Aaron Finch(c), Usman Khawaja, Steven Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Alex Carey(w), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Jason Behrendorff, Nathan Lyon
