South Africa vs Australia, 3rd T20I: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, and Live Streaming Details
South Africa and Australia are all set to lock horns in the third and final match of the three-match T20I series. Kingsmead in Durban will host the clash on Sunday, September 3.
The Aussies, led by Mitchell Marsh, have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. The vising team has been clinical thus far and they will be looking to finish with another clinical performance.
On Friday, Australia beat the Proteas by eight wickets. Mitchell Marsh, who scored an unbeaten 92 in the opening match of the series, followed it up with another knock of substance in the second match.
Marsh scored 79 runs off 38 balls with eight fours and six sixes. On the back of his knock, the visitors chased down a target of 165 with 31 balls to spare. Sean Abbott and Nathan Ellis picked up three wickets apiece.
South Africa’s batting faltered badly in the series opener and it failed to do any better in the second match. Their bowlers have been taken to the cleaners as well. It remains to be seen if they can stage a comeback.
