David And Hazlewood Shine As Australia Beat South Africa By 17 Runs In T20I Series Opener
For South Africa: Tim David’s blistering power-hitting and Josh Hazlewood’s incisive bowling spell set up helped Australia secure a record ninth consecutive T20I victory with a 17-run win over South Africa in the series opener at Marrara Stadium on Sunday.
Australia were in trouble at 74/6, but David struck 83 off 52 balls, where he mixed strike rotation with trademark six-hitting to rescue the hosts’ innings. He also shared a seventh-wicket stand of 59 with Ben Dwarshuis, as Australia made a competitive 178 in 20 overs.
For South Africa, teenaged pacer Kwena Maphaka claimed his career-best figures of 4-20. At 19 years and 124 days old, Maphaka became the youngest seamer to pick a four-wicket haul in a men’s T20I game among the full member teams.
