SA vs AUS Dream11 Prediction With Stats, Pitch Report & Player Record of Australia tour of South Africa, 2023 For 2nd T20I

SA vs AUS: Australia will lock horns against South Africa in the 2nd T20I of Australia tour of South Africa, 2023 on Wednesday, August 30, 2023, at Kingsmead, Durban.

Australia handed South Africa a one-sided beatdown in the series opener, winning by a whopping 111 runs. South Africa’s bowlers had a tough time after opting to bowl first, despite winning the toss.

Australia’s skipper, Mitchell Marsh, and their star batsman, Tim David, were in top-notch form. Mitchell Marsh smashed an unbeaten 92 runs from just 49 balls, while Tim David lit up the field with 64 runs off 28 balls. Thanks to their stellar performance, Australia posted a massive total of 226 runs, losing six wickets, in the allotted 20 overs.

In reply, South Africa crumbled under the weight of the target, getting bowled out for a measly 115 runs in just 15.3 overs. Reeza Hendricks was the only one who managed to put up a half-century, but the rest of their batters seemed lost and helpless against Australia’s bowling assault.

As we gear up for this game, Australia aims to keep their winning streak alive and secure an unbeatable lead in this three-match series. On the other hand, South Africa is itching to make a strong comeback after that embarrassing defeat in the first T20, hoping to level the series.

Pitch Report For SA vs AUS, 2nd T20I

The pitch at Kingsmead is a paradise for fast bowlers. Batters, on the other hand, can definitely swing for the fences, just like we saw in the first match. The key for them is to get comfortable on this pitch and figure out when to take on those pacers. Sadly, there’s not much help for spinners here. The average total usually hangs around 145 runs, and most wins here belong to the team batting first off late, so winning that toss and choosing to bat is the smart play.
