Tanveer Sangha who made his debut in place of Adam Zampa in the 1st T20I bagged the opportunity with both hands, picking up 4 wickets at an economy of 7.75.
Top Pick – Wicketkeeper
Josh Inglis was undone by a slow dipping delivery from Jerald Coetzee in the 1st T20I for just one run. He is just one game away from regaining his form.
X-Factor:
Reeza Hendricks ran out of partners in the 1st T20I as the South African opener made 56 runs from 43 balls and was the 9th man to be dismissed. He showed grit when no other batters went for glory shots.

Pre-Match Analysis:
South Africa looked way too ordinary in front of Australia in all aspects of the game and suffered a massive 111-run loss in the 1st T20I. They opted to go with five specialist bowlers which backfired them as all went more than 10 runs an over with only Lizaad Williams proving effective, picking up 3 wickets. Their run-chase didn’t take off at all as they were trapped for spin and pace where they bowled out for paltry 115 runs inside 16 overs. Debutants Gerald Coetzee and Dewald Brevis didn’t have the best of matches that even cost them. They have a big match coming up and must win it to stay alive in the series.
The new look Australian T20I side led by Mitchell Marsh ticked all boxes correctly in the 1st T20I and won easily in the end. Marsh captaining the side for the first time, steered them to a huge 226 runs on the board with his unbeaten 92* runs from just 49 balls and he got good support from the other end with Tim David, smashing 64 runs at a strike rate of 228.57. The Kangaroos fielded four debutants Matthew Short, Aaron Hardie, Spencer Johnson, and Tanveer Sangha all made pivotal contributions towards team success. Marcus Stoinis who failed with the bat made it up with the ball, picking up 3 wickets. It’s just a start they got and all they need to do is to keep up the winning momentum for the remainder of the series.
