Match Highlights & Momentum

Now, in the first T20I, Australia won over South Africa by 17 runs. Tim David's 83-run cameo saved them from 75/6. 4/20 by Kwena Maphaka was some effort for ZA.

Dewald Brevis put on quite a show with his 125* off 56 balls, which took South Africa to 218/7, their highest T20 score vs Australia. SA won by 53 runs, levelling the series at the 2nd T20I.

Series Significance

The Proteas will likely aim to maintain their current momentum with white-ball cricket, especially their success at the WTC Final at Lord's. For now,  Australia has shifted focus to rigorous planning. It's a T20 plan in the form of aggressive batting combinations and new opening pair combinations. We can look at this tour for the build-up to the 2026 T20 World Cup. SA's inclusion of new talent and Brevis's record T20 score make the tour a build-up to introduce emerging stars.
