In an exciting cricket showdown, South Africa will take on Australia in a home series consisting of three T20Is and five ODIs. The matches are scheduled to take place from August 30 to September 17.
The first three T20Is will be played in Kingsmead, Durban on August 30, September 1, and September 3 respectively. Following that, the ODIs will be held in Bloemfontein, Potchefstroom, Centurion, and Johannesburg from September 7 to 17.
Australia will be led by all-rounder Mitchell Marsh in the T20Is. The team will also see three debutants – Matthew Short, Aaron Hardie, and Spencer Johnson – in the opening game of the series. However, the visitor’s squad encountered a setback as senior batter Glenn Maxwell was ruled out of the T20I series due to an ankle injury.
On the other hand, South Africa will be led by Aiden Markram and fans are hopeful that the host team will put up a good show. The Proteas boast a roster of proven performers including Reeza Hendricks, Rassie van der Dussen, Lungi Ngidi, Tabraiz Shamsi, and Keshav Maharaj.
