Preview

Australia will take on South Africa in the opening match of the T20I series which starts on August 10. This match will be played at Marrara Cricket Ground in Darwin. These two teams have not met in T20Is since 2023 and this series is very much a stepping stone to the next global tournament in February's T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka. Australia have recently completed a 5-0 sweep of West Indies. Matt Short will miss the first two games of the series. Marsh and Head will open for this match. 

While South Africa were part of a tri-series in Zimbabwe where they fell short in the Final against New Zealand. Markram and Ryan Rickelton return to the side along with Kagiso Rabada. They have a strong squad and will be keen to put a good performance.
