Fantasy tips for the 1st T20I between Australia and South Africa.
Here is our AUS vs SA Dream11 prediction for the first T20I between Australia (AUS) and South Africa (SA). The two rivals are set to lock horns in a three-match T20I series, with the first game to be played at Marrara Oval in Darwin.
Australia recently played a five-match T20I series in the West Indies, which they swept by 5-0. They will have Travis Head and Josh Hazlewood back for this series. Pat Cummins and Mitch Starc are rested from this assignment as well.
South Africa toured Zimbabwe last month, where they featured in a Tri-series. The second-string side reached the final but lost to New Zealand. They will have a nearly full-strength side here, with only David Miller and Marco Jansen missing.
