AUS vs SA Match Preview:
South Africa leveled the series with a commanding 53-run victory over Australia in the second T20I on August 12, 2025, at Marrara Cricket Ground, Darwin, setting up a thrilling decider. The third T20I, scheduled for August 16, 2025, at Cazaly’s Stadium, Cairns, promises a high-stakes clash as both teams vie for the series win.
In the second T20I, South Africa posted a formidable 218/7, driven by Dewald Brevis’ record-breaking 125 off 56 balls, including 12 fours and eight sixes, marking South Africa’s highest individual T20I score.
Brevis, dropped on 56 by substitute fielder Matthew Kuhnemann, dominated a 126-run partnership with Tristan Stubbs (26). For Australia, Ben Dwarshuis stood out with 2/24, while Glenn Maxwell took 2/39.
Chasing 219, Australia crumbled to 165 in 17.4 overs, with Tim David’s 50 off 29 offering brief resistance. Kwena Maphaka and Corbin Bosch led South Africa’s bowling with 3/57 and 3/20, respectively, while Kagiso Rabada’s 1/25 turned the game by dismissing David.
Mitchell Marsh captains Australia, with key players like Travis Head, Josh Inglis (returning from illness), and Adam Zampa aiming to reclaim momentum. Meanwhile, Aiden Markram leads South Africa, banking on Brevis, Stubbs, and Rabada to clinch the series.
With Australia’s nine-match T20I win streak broken and South Africa chasing only their second bilateral T20I series win in nine attempts, both sides face a crucial test.
Spin could play a role in Cairns, with Australia considering Matthew Kuhnemann alongside Zampa, while South Africa may reintroduce George Linde or Senuran Muthusamy.
