South Africa vs Australia 4th ODI Live Cricket Score:Australia looked on the cusp of a series triumph after winning the first two matches but an Aiden Markram special saw South Africa pull one back and make it 2-1 in the third ODI. As the two teams square-off in the 4th ODI of the series, Australia would look to avoid another roadblock in their pursuit of a series triumph. South Africa really showed their true credentials as they won the third ODI by a whopping margin of 110 runs against Australia. It was a rare poor outing by the Aussies who have looked like a team on a different level since they landed in the Rainbow Nation. It also has to be noted that Proteas skipper Temba Bavuma will not be available for this match, having been ruled out due to an injury. (LIVE Scorecard)

After pulling off a 3-0 whitewash in the T20Is, Australia will now to look to assert their dominance over South Africa in ODIs, starting with the opening game later on Thursday in Bloemfontein. Australia captain Pat Cummins, who missed the T20Is due to a wrist injury, is part of the squad for the five-match series, but his participation remains unlikley. In his absence, Mitchell Marsh took the leadership role as the visitors dominated the hosts in the shortest format of the game. South Africa, on the other hand, hope that the change in format would lead to a change in fortune.
