Australia vs South Africa head to head in t20 World Cup 2021

The Super 12 stage of T20 World Cup 2021 begins with the two giant teams facing each other, Australia and South Africa. The match is expected to be super exciting, as most of the players from both teams have played each other in the IPL 2021 recently. They know each other’s strengths and weaknesses very well. So, there is anticipation that fans are going to see some phenomenal cricket today. 

Since this is the first Super 12 stage match, many experts are predicting that whoever wins this match could go on to win the T20 World Cup tournament. 

Australian team: 

Aaron Finch-led Australian team suffered a major blow in the warm-up game against India, as it seemed like they were still getting used to the T20 format. However, the team had a good victory in their first warm-up match against New Zealand, which could help them have a high spirit. If you know the Aussies well, you will know that they would like to get a good victorious headstart to their ICC t20 World Cup 2021 campaign. Moreover, it would be a real motivation for the team considering they have still not won any of the t20 World Cup tournaments to date. Thus, being one of the favorite teams, their spirits are rather high. 

South African Team: 

On the other hand, Temba Bavuma’s South African led team had a thrilling victory in the warm-up match against Pakistan. So, their players are pretty confident and in good shape to start their t20 World Cup campaign with a winning bang. 

Top Players to watch out in the Australia vs South Africa head to head in t20:

Australia: Glenn Maxwell

Glenn Maxwell is nicknamed the ‘big show’ for his super sixes in any given game. The Australian international cricketer is in great form and has attributed his return to Indian crickets Virat Kohli and South African cricketer AB de Villiers during the IPL 2021. These three were teammates in Royal Challengers Bangalore. Moreover, Glenn Maxwell knows the pitch of the stadium really well, since he has played on the turf during the IPL matches. His ability to get quick runs is going to be pretty devastating for the He will be very dangerous against the Proteas (South African Team).

Apart from Glenn Maxwell, the other players to watch out for are David Warner, Steve Smith, and Pat Cummins. They returned to the Australian squad and can be very dangerous to the opponent teams by causing serious problems. 

South Africa: Kagiso Rabada

The Proteas fast bowler is a deadly weapon against the Australian team. His fast wicket-taking ability is lethal for the opponents and this was clearly evident during the IPL 2021 matches when he played for the Delhi Capitals. was a primary asset for Delhi Capitals in the second phase of the IPL recently. His right-handed bowling line, fast pace, and length can dramatically help South Africa to keep the runs lower if Australia chooses to bat first. He is the key to stopping the Australian batting line under check. 

Apart from Kagiso Rabada, the sensational pacer Anrich Nortje is to look out for. South Africa’s Tabraiz Shamsi is currently the World’s number one spinner that can break the rhythm of the Australian batsmen if they win the toss and elect to bat first. 

Stadium and Pitch Report: 

The weather in Abu Dhabi is pretty cloudy and the temperature seems to linger around 32 degrees celsius. The players may feel the heat, however, since they have played on this pitch and weather conditions last month during the IPL 2021, they are accustomed to it. 

The pitch in Abu Dhabi favors the spin bowlers and the batsmen could find it easy to score runs on it. Swing bowlers may find it difficult on this pitch in the power play, which the batsmen could take advantage of. However, as the match progresses, the pitch may become slower and that could cause problems to the team that bats second. 

So, whoever wins the toss, the winning captain must choose to bat first. The weather is hot during the day, and since the match will be over before the evening, the evening dew will not affect the game. 

Other players to watch out:

David Warner

David Warner is the opening batsman in the Australian team, however, he has not been in form lately. The 34-year-old batsman was not that great during the warm-up games. However, if David Warner makes a comeback, he can cause a massive blow to the South African team. We hope he has a focused game ahead.

Rassie van der Dussen

The South African international team is fortunate to have Rassie van der Dussen. He has been pretty extraordinary during the warm-up match against Pakistan where he single-handedly scored a century causing the opponent team to collapse at a high score. Thus, we hope that Rassie van der Dussen plays his best cricket in this first match against the Australians.
