Australia are set to cross swords with South Africa in the second T20I on Tuesday, August 12. The hosts need a win in today's match to seal the three-match T20 series after winning the first T20I by 17 runs. Tim David played a starring role in the win, and Josh Hazlewood bowled superbly to derail the visitors' run chase.
The visitors faltered in the batting department, as they kept losing wickets at crucial moments. Barring Ryan Rickelton and Tristan Stubbs, the rest of the batters were guilty of playing too many rash shots, which brought their downfall. With the surface expected to be good for batting in the second T20I, the Proteas batters would be keen to make the most of it.
