Australia vs South Africa T20I Match 2: When, where to watch the marquee clash

Australia vs South Africa meet in the second match of the T20I series. Here's when and where to catch all the action live.

Australia are set to clash against South Africa in the second T20I match at the Marrara Cricket Ground, Darwin on August 12. With the T20 World Cup coming up next year, the teams are making the most of the opportunities to gear up for the tournament.

In the ongoing T20I series, Australia are missing their premium bowlers Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins, who are rested, keeping the Ashes in mind. However, they have some talented bowlers in the likes of Josh Hazlewood, Sean Abbott, and Adam Zampa, who have a lot of experience in the shortest format of the game. They’ll surely be an asset for Australia in the ongoing series.

For the Proteas, captain Aiden Markram will lead the side with some of his best men alongside him. They look quite set for the series with the presence of Ryan Rickelton, Tristan Stubbs, and Dewald Brevis. These players are in form and will surely be a threat to the Aussies’ bowling attack. Moreover, both teams are meeting in a T20I bilateral series after a long time, so the fans are most likely to enjoy the thrilling contest. After the T20Is, they’ll also play a 3-match ODI series, starting on August 19.
