This rivalry is built on intense, high-quality cricket. South Africa and Australia have shared several defining moments in Test cricket and ICC events, often with Australia having the upper hand.

The two powerhouses have only met twice in the T20 World Cups, with the Kangaroos winning both times, suggesting their dominance over the arch-rivals. South Africa, 2024 T20 World Cup finalists, however, will want to turn the tides to their favour this time around.

Head-to-Head: In 28 matches, the Kangaroos have a clear advantage with 19 wins to their name, whereas South Africa has only managed to get nine wins in T20Is.
