Hello and welcome to our Live blog on the first ODI between Australia and South Africa. Much has been talked about the two teams meeting again for the first time since the infamous ball-tampering scandal. Both the teams have had a share of misfortunes in the interim - while Australia appear to be a deflated version of themselves since the scandal, missing out on their star players, the Proteas have also seen the retirement of AB de Villiers and Duminy getting injured, and have not been the best batting side of late. Both the teams have a chance to return to form, ahead of the upcoming World Cup.
