AUS vs SA Dream11 Prediction Today, 3rd T20I: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Team, Playing XI, and Pitch Report

Sandip Pawar

Fantasy tips for the 3rd T20I between Australia and South Africa.

Here is our AUS vs SA Dream11 prediction for the third T20 International between Australia (AUS) and South Africa (SA). The action will unfold at Cazaly’s Stadium in Cairns, with the venue hosting its first T20I. 

Australia clinched the series opener by 17 runs but the Proteas turned things around to level the scoreline. The visitors won the second game by 53 runs on the back of a phenomenal batting display from Dewald Brevis. He smashed a record-breaking 125 off 56 deliveries to power the team to 218. 

Chasing that target, the home side was in the game as long as Tim David was at the crease. He blasted 50 off 24 balls but others failed to make an impact. Kwena Maphaka and Corbin Bosch picked three wickets each for the visitors.
