AUS vs SA: Ground Pitch Report

The wicket in Darwin is likely to be a flat deck, offering great bounce and a fast outfield for the batting sides. The size of the boundaries is not big enough, which can play into the hands of the batters. We might see teams choosing to chase because it is difficult to stop the runs here.

AUS vs SA: Possible XI

Australia: Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh (c), Cameron Green, Josh Inglis (wk), Glenn Maxwell, Matthew Short, Mitchell Owen, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

South Africa: Ryan Rickelton, Lhuan dre Pretorius (wk), Rassie van der Dussen, Dewald Brevis, Aiden Markram (c), Tristan Stubbs, George Linde, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, Corbin Bosch, Nandre Burger
