South Africa tour of Australia:Australia Vs South Africa 2nd ODI Live Scores at Perth, Nov 16, 2014
Teams: Australia Vs South Africa
Venu: Played at Western Australia Cricket Association Ground, Perth
Time: Match scheduled to begin at 19:05 local time (08:35 GMT)
Preview
Unfortunately for the South Africans, in a strange way the situation might actually strengthen Australia, by creating room for the in-form Steven Smith to slot into the side. South Africa, meanwhile, will have to find a way to turn around their fortunes at the same venue just two days later. Problematically, their batsmen struggled early against the speed of Mitchell Johnson, but AB de Villiers and David Miller showed that the Australians can be worn down if a partnership develops.
If South Africa take their chances in the field - and plenty will be created by Dale Steyn, Vernon Philander, Morne Morkel and Imran Tahir - there is every possibility the teams could leave Perth with the series locked at 1-1.
