South Africa vs Australia, 2nd T20I Live
We are back. The players are out in the middle. Travis Head and Matthew Short to open for the Aussies. Aiden Markram to bowl first. Let's go...
... The Run Chase ...
Australia did not begin all that well with the ball but Ellis, Sean and Jason were really good. They picked timely wickets and got their side ahead. The target is still a challenging one on a slow surface. Australia have batters in form. South Africa will have to bowl really well. Stay tuned for the chase.
South Africa have recovered well but Australia will be happier of the two sides. The start though was brilliant for the hosts courtesy Bavuma. Once he fell they lost a few wickets quickly. Markram and Stubbs then steadied the ship. Stubbs fell but Markram continued. When he was batting 175 looked possible. He fell with 9 balls to go but Ngidi has taken them to a competitive total.
