Australia vs South Africa Match 2nd T20I Preview

AUS vs SA Both Teams’ Last 5 Matches Record

Australia

Australia is currently in its peak form, having not lost a single match in the last 9 matches. No matter who the opposition is, under the captaincy of Mitchell Marsh the team is performing consistently in every format. In the last match also they defeated South Africa by 17 runs, in which Tim David's 83-run blast and Cameron Green's explosive cameo became a match-turner for the team. In bowling Josh Hazlewood, Ben Dwarshuis and Adam Zampa together destroyed the middle and lower order of the opposition. This winning streak gives Australia a psychological edge and at this time it seems that defeating them will be the toughest challenge for any team.

South Africa

South Africa's recent form has been in a bad shape - they have won only one match in the last 5 matches, that too against Zimbabwe. They gave a competitive fight against Australia in the last match, but a middle-order collapse spoiled the whole game. Ryan Rickelton did solid anchoring and Tristan Stubbs provided some momentum, but due to lack of support the chase could not be completed. In bowling, Kwena Maphaka's 4-wicket spell was a big positive, while Rabada also made early breakthroughs. But if South Africa has to come back in the series, they will have to build batting partnerships and avoid collapse in pressure moments.

Marrara Cricket Ground, Darwin Pitch Report T20I

The pitch of Marrara Cricket Ground, Darwin is considered to be a balanced surface. Here the ball comes on the bat with a good bounce and the fast outfield makes it easy to score runs. The small square boundaries also help the batsman in his stroke play. But because of the green top, the fast bowlers get the advantage of swing and seam in the beginning.

As the match progresses, spinners can also be effective in the middle overs. In the first T20I, the pacers were quite successful and wickets fell regularly, which shows that it is important to be careful while batting here. The team winning the toss would prefer to bowl first to gauge the condition of the pitch as the condition of the drop-in pitch can change during the match.

AUS vs SA Head-to-Head Records in T20I

Looking at the T20I head-to-head record of Australia and South Africa, it is understood that Australia has always had the upper hand in this rivalry. So far 26 matches have been played between the two teams in which Australia has won 18 while South Africa has won only 8. Looking at the current red-hot form of Australia, this gap could widen further as they have been unbeatable in the last 9 matches. On the other hand, South Africa's recent form is in decline due to which it has become quite tough for them to win against Australia.

Proof of this was also found in the last match when Australia won the 1st T20I in Darwin by 17 runs. Tim David's brilliant 83-run knock took over the innings and set a challenging target of 178. In bowling, Hazlewood, Dwarshuis and Zampa collapsed South Africa's middle-order, which lost 5 wickets for just 3 runs after the 14th over. Ryan Rickelton and Tristan Stubbs fought back a bit but Australia again showed their dominance and won the match.
