Whether there can be a result depends on the freshness of the pitch and how effective the pace attacks will be with the new ball in particular.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given the rise of two and three-day Tests in recent years, a result either way is not beyond the realms of possibility. Kagiso Rabada is set to return which boosts South Africa\u2019s hopes, while Australia\u2019s great attack will be full of confidence after their Durban performance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proteas coach Shukri Conrad has called on the batters to perform. He says South Africa are too reliant on Temba Bavuma and Aiden Markram, as well as lower-order runs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis has been coming for a while,\u201d Conrad said after the Durban loss. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you look at our performances back home, when there was something in the wicket [for the bowlers], against good attacks we\u2019ve been heavily reliant on Temba [Bavuma] and Aiden [Markram], and then lower-order runs. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou only need to go back to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricinfo.com\/series\/south-africa-vs-pakistan-2024-25-1432205\/south-africa-vs-pakistan-1st-test-1432217\/full-scorecard\">Centurion<\/a>, you go back to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricinfo.com\/series\/icc-world-test-championship-2023-2025-1345943\/australia-vs-south-africa-final-1449769\/full-scorecard\">the final at Lord\u2019s<\/a>, David (Bedingham) has obviously shown glimpses but we were always heavily reliant on lower-order runs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In terms of the World Test Championship (WTC), Australia currently sit top with a percentage of 81.82.
