South Africa will take on Australia in the 1st T20I of the 3-match series at the Kingsmead, Durban, on Wednesday (30 August) evening.
South Africa last played a T20I series against West Indies at home, losing by 2-1. It was a relatively high scoring series with first innings scores of 258 and 220 in the final two T20s. Most of the first choice squad is rested for this series. Expect a few debutants in this game.
On the other hand, Australia will be playing a T20I for the first time since their exit from the 2022 T20 World Cup. Although they crashed out in the Super 12 stage, the team had 3 wins in 5 matches. Mitchell Marsh leads a new look playing 11 with multiple debutants.
