AUS vs SA - The series opener between Australia & South Africa will be played on Saturday, December 17 in Dhaka.

AUS vs SA 1st Test: Australia are all set to host South Africa in a three-match Test series, starting Saturday (December 17) at the Gabba in Brisbane.

While Australia continues to lead the World Test Championship points table, South Africa needs to win this series to have a realistic chance of reaching the WTC finals.

The Pat Cummins-led Australia would be high on confidence after winning their last test series against West Indies convincingly. They would be keen on extending their winning streak.

South Africa, meanwhile played their last test series against England way back in August this year, where they lost 2-1 to Ben Stokes-led England.

The last time these two teams met in a Test series, Steve Smith, David Warner, and Cameron Bancroft were banned for the famous ball-tampering scandal during the 2018 Test at Newlands.

Heading into this series, South Africa would be looking to turn things around against the mighty Australians. But before the action kicks start at the iconic Gabba, Brisbane, let’s take a look at the details of the 1st Test.

Here’s all you need to know about the Australia vs South Africa Test series:
