Match: Australia vs South AfricaTime: 12 August, 2:45 PM (IST) ⏰
Series: South Africa tour of Australia, 2025 🏆
Venue: Marrara Cricket Ground, Darwin 🏟️
📌 Match Info:
- Australia (AUS) will look to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series when they take on South Africa (SA) in the second T20I at the Marrara Cricket Ground in Darwin on Tuesday, August 12.
- The Aussies won the first T20I by 17 runs at the same venue. Aiden Markram won the toss and opted to field first. Australia went hammer and tongs from the beginning of the match, and they continued with that approach even after losing wickets in almost every other over. Tim David played a brilliant knock of 83 runs off 52 balls to help Australia recover from 75/6 and get to 178. Kwena Maphaka was the best bowler on show for the Proteas as he bagged a four-for.
- In reply, South Africa lost the wicket of their captain in the first over. The young duo of Lhuan-dre Pretorius and Dewald Brevis faltered. However, Tristan Stubbs forged a defiant 72-run stand off 52 balls with Ryan Rickelton. However, once Stubbs was dismissed for 37 (27), South Africa's lower-order crumbled under pressure. Rickelton carried the hopes of the tourists, but he was eventually dismissed for a 55-ball 71 in the final over.
- South Africa let themselves down with their fielding, as Stubbs and Brevis gave reprieves to David. They will have to lift themselves and come out with a better performance in the second T20I if they are to keep the series alive.
