South Africa is gearing up to host Australia in a high-stakes showdown of limited-overs cricket, as the arch-rivals prepare for an eagerly awaited three-game T20I series. Commencing on August 30, the series promises exhilarating clashes and fierce competition on the cricketing stage between the two teams.
The last instance these two teams crossed paths in a T20I series on South African grounds dates back to February 2020, just prior to the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic. At that time, the visiting team secured a 2-1 triumph. Given the significant shifts in the cricketing landscape since then, both sides are enthusiastic about emulating or even surpassing that result in their upcoming clashes.
In a recent update, Mitchell Marsh has been appointed as the new T20I captain for Australia. Tasked with leading the team in shortest format, Marsh is anticipated to leverage his expertise and tactical insight to steer his team towards triumph.
Australia’s roster showcases a crop of emerging stars, as Spencer Johnson, Matthew Short, and Aaron Hardie step into their first international roles. Nonetheless, the team faces a setback with Glenn Maxwell sidelined due to injury.
Turning to the South African contingent, newcomers Dewald Brevis, Donovan Ferreira, and Matthew Breetzke have earned their inaugural international selections.
In addition, the comeback of seasoned campaigners like Temba Bavuma and Rassie van der Dussen, coupled with the inclusion of Gerald Coetzee, injects a blend of youthful dynamism and seasoned proficiency into the squad. Other than that, just prior to their ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 campaign in India, Australia and South Africa will also play a 5 match ODI series after the T20I series, starting from 7th September.
