It may be challenging for the Proteas Men to defeat the Australians in their third straight Test series because they are travelling Australia after a six-year hiatus. The clash of the pace attacks will be the centre of attention. Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje, and Marco Jansen are just a few of South Africa's formidable pace attack players. The Australians also have a strong offence. The captain, Pat Cummins, is in charge of the speed attack, which also includes Mitchell Starc. both Scott Boland and Michael Nesser.


Not to mention, the Australian cricket team, which boasts a star-studded batting lineup that includes David Warner, Steve Smith, Usman Khawaja, Marcus Harris, and Travis Head, will start as the favourite. The South African squad, on the other hand, also has a strong batting lineup, led by Elgar himself, Temba Bavuma, and Rassie van der Dussen.
