South Africa and Australia are set to meet in the first match of the three-match T20I series. Kingsmead in Durban will host the clash on Wednesday 30 August.
Australia, led by their new captain Mitchell Marsh, have already named their eleven for the opening match. Aaron Hardie, Matt Short and Spencer Johnson will make their debut.
Johnson recently stepped into the spotlight after bowling 19 point balls in his 20-ball spell while playing for the Oval Invincibles in the Hundred. Hardie impressed the Perth Scorchers last year and will be looking to get his international career off to a good start.
South Africa also has a young squad at its disposal. Dewald Brevis, who has risen through the ranks in the last 20 months, has been added to the team. In Quinton de Kock’s absence, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Brevis made his debut.
Aiden Markram, Reeza Hendricks, Temba Bavuma, and Rassie van der Dussen are expected to play critical roles. Lungi Ngidi, Tabraiz Shamsi and Keshav Maharaj will need to bring all their experience to the bowling department.
