Mitchell Marsh-led Australia will look to seal the three-match T20I series when they take on South Africa in the second T20I at the Kingsmead Stadium in Durban on Friday. Australia thrashed hosts South Africa by 111 runs with skipper Marsh smashing a brilliant 92 not out on his T20I captaincy debut.
The visitors gave debut cap to four players and debutant Tanveer Sangha was the pick of the bowlers – claiming 4/31 to bundle out South Africa for 115 while chasing Australia’s 226 for 6. Australian total was built around Marsh’s 92 and Tim David who scored a whirlwind 64.
Before the first T20I, Australia held the record for the highest T20I Powerplay score at Kingsmead and after it, they still hold it, albeit with a new one. The top four plundered 70 runs in the first six overs while South Africa’s attack sprayed the ball all over the place.
Meanwhile, 21-year-old Sangha was not even in line to play but with leg-spinner Adam Zampa laid low by sudden illness, the young leg-spinner made a memorable debut. A win for Australia on Friday will be enough to get them an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match T20I series.
Tim David added to Australia's squad for South Africa ODIs, which begin next week.
