AUS vs SA: Match Details

Aus vs SA Dream11 Prediction and Preview

Tim David continued his success from the West Indies trip, helping Australia win the opening T20I against South Africa. The Mitchell Marsh-led team has attempted to play with a high risk attitude, which aided them to some extent in the first game.

The game was settled in the first power play, with both teams scoring over 30 runs apart, and now the emphasis shifts to the second T20I, which will be contested on Tuesday at the Marrara Cricket Ground.

South Africa were in a strong position at 120/3, but they lost four wickets for three runs. This revealed the inexperienced middle order. Australia struck 13 sixes to South Africa’s two, which ultimately proved to be the difference. To compete with Australia, the Proteas will need strong contributions from their batting lineup.

Top Picks For AUS vs SA Dream11 Prediction Team Today

For Australia:

Cameron Green

Recent Stats: He’s scored 253 runs in his last 7 games, averaging 63.25 with a strike rate of 173.28.
Why him? Green is doing great right now. In the first T20I, he smashed 35 runs off just 13 balls, proving how fast he can turn a game around. He scores points quickly.

Tim David

Recent Stats: He’s got 251 runs in his last 8 games, averaging 50.2 with a strike rate of 187.31.
Why him? David is known as Australia’s best finisher, and he showed it in the first game with a match-winning 83 off 52 balls. Even if he comes in late, he can easily get you 30–40 runs quickly.

Ben Dwarshuis

Recent Stats: He has taken 11 wickets in the last 5 games.
Why him? Dwarshuis consistently takes wickets. In the last game, he bowled really well and took 3 wickets while only giving up 26 runs in his four overs. Since the pitch helped seam and swing bowlers last game.

South Africa

Dewald Brevis

Recent Form: 135 runs in the previous six matches; average: 27, SR: 175.32.
Dewald Brevis is one of South Africa’s most promising young batsmen. He enters the crease with fierce intensity, determined to dominate from ball one. While he did not score big in the series opener, his ability to smash cleanly over the ropes makes him a potential game changer.

George Linde

Recent Form: 9 wickets in the previous 8 matches; Econ: 8.1, SR: 14.
George Linde has good ball control, especially in the middle overs when he can keep score under control while seeking for wickets. Another advantage is that he can swing the bat late in the game for fast fantasy points.

Kwena Maphaka

Recent Form: 9 wickets in the previous six matches; Econ: 8.79, SR: 14.55.
Kwena Maphaka was the star in the opening T20I, bowling 4/20 with fast speed and bounce that unsettled Australia’s batting order early. He flourishes when there is movement in the air or off the surface, and Darwin’s circumstances may once again play to his advantage.

AUS vs SA: Head-to-Head: 

• Total Match – 26
• Australia Won – 18
• South Africa Won 8

AUS vs SA: Pitch Report

In the first game at Darwin’s Marrara Cricket Stadium, the pitch seemed pretty fair. Fast bowlers got some swing and seam early on, and spinners could get the ball to grip and turn. But once batters got settled, it became easier to hit shots. Australia, the team that batted first, won the last game played here, but usually, teams that chase win at this ground. So, even though Australia won batting first last time, expect the captain who wins the toss to choose to field.

AUS vs SA: Dream11 Prediction – Who Will Win?

With Darwin providing swing and seam early on, new-ball bowlers will be crucial, making Ben Dwarshuis and Kwena Maphaka essential options in your fantasy XI. Cameron Green is in explosive form at the top and can rack up runs rapidly, while Tim David’s finishing skills and consistency make him indispensable.

Dewald Brevis is South Africa’s X-factor batsman, capable of changing the game in a few overs, while George Linde provides wicket-taking potential with spin and late-order runs. In minor leagues, stick with Green or David as captains. Maphaka should be considered a differential C/VC option in the major leagues.
