T20 World Cup:<\/strong> The first T20I played between Australia and South Africa on Wednesday and the Mitchell Marsh-led side won it by a massive 111 runs. Batting first Australia put up a huge target of 226 runs on the board and bundled out South Africa on 115 runs in 15.3 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Given the chance to captain the Australian side for the first time in International cricket, skipper Marsh led from the front and played a prompting inning of 92 runs also winning the Player of the Match award for the knock.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Marsh appreciated debutant Tanveer Sangha and said, “Tanveer Sangha is a fantastic talent, he wasn't in the squad, flew in yesterday, and played so well today."<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Tim David was fantastic, he took a couple of balls to get settled but he took the pressure off me. I think I've played too much Test cricket lately, couldn't hit sixes at the death,” he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The all-arounder praised the young players Tim David and Tanveer Sangha for their outstanding performances. Sangha's debut performance saw him record numbers of 4-0-31-4 while David, who batted at No. 6, scored 64 runs off 28 balls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Captain of the side for the first time, Marsh elaborated on team effort and expressed his joy towards the collectiveness of a team and also talked about his performance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Always nice to start a 3-match series with a win. My job is to score runs so was nice to get some today. A lot goes into it, long process with my injury. Been nice, I love playing for Australia. The environment we've got now is the best, I love it. Nice to contribute,” said Marsh after the victory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Marsh got off to a career-deciding phase after he scored a pile of runs in the T20 World Cup 2021 and played a match-winning inning in the finals. He was handed the Captaincy of the T20I side of Australia after Aaron Finch decided to retire.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
