SA vs AUS, 2nd ODI Live Updates: South Africa look to bounce back as they take on Australia in the second ODI at the Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein. The visitors lead the series 1-0 after their tight three-wicket win on Thursday at the same venue. Marnus Labuschagne was the unlikely hero for Australia after batting as a concussion substitute for Cameron Green. He made 80 not out to steer Australia to an unlikely three-wicket win.

Concussion substitute Marnus Labuschagne played a match-winning innings for Australia to trump an unbeaten century by South African captain Temba Bavuma in the first one-day international at the Mangaung Oval on Thursday. Bavuma carried his bat for an unbeaten 114 to enable South Africa to score 222 all out. It seemed more than enough as Australia, batting with ultra-aggressive intent, crashed to 113 for seven in the 17th over. But Labuschagne, batting at number eight after replacing Cameron Green, restored calmness to the Australian innings, making 80 not out.
The bugle of the Cricket World Cup 2023 has been sounded. The competing teams have announced their squad for the October 5-19 mega event in India. Australia legend Glenn McGrath must know what it's to be like to be a world champion. Glenn McGrath was a member of the Australian team that won three consecutive World Cup trophies - the 1999 Cricket World Cup, the 2003 Cricket World Cup, and the 2007 Cricket World Cup. While his pedigree on the cricket field is exemplary, he has other expertise too. In a recent video, posted by Glenn MacGrath, he could be seen dealing with a python at his home.
The verdict is in: As opposition, you don't want Marnus Labuschagne coming in to bat as a concussion substitute.
Young legspinner Tanveer Sangha has missed out on a place in Australia's provisional 15-man World Cup squad after impressing on his international debut in South Africa.
