Australia will battle it out with South Africa in the first T20I on Sunday, August 10. The hosts are coming off a win in a five-match T20I series against West Indies. In all five matches the Mitchell Marsh-led side showed sheer ruthlessness, with bat and ball in hand. They would be eager to extend the same dominance against South Africa.
The visitors are back to a full-strength side after playing with a second-string team in the Tri-nation T20I series against Zimbabwe & New Zealand. Skipper Aiden Markram is back leading the side, and so are Kagiso Rabada, Ryan Rickelton, & Tristan Stubbs. Only Marco Jansen & Keshav Maharaj will not be part of the T20 series. Australia vs South Africa rivalry always is intense, fierce, and riveting to watch. These two teams have given quite a few blockbuster matches in the past, & this T20I series also promises to be a cracking affair.
