Proteas look to turn tables on Oz

Turning out against Australia in a T20 International series for the first time in nearly two years, South Africa's perennial rivals will get the best out of them, according to Proteas fast bowler Kagiso Rabada.

The SA team do not have the best T20 record against the Aussies.

In the 25 matches the two have played in the short format, South Africa have won only eight. And in the seven T20 games they have played in the last seven years, South Africa have lost six of them, going down 3-0 in their most recent series in Durban in 2023.

Rabada hoped they could turn the tables by defeating their hosts in the three-match T20 series starting in Darwin on Sunday.

"The rivalry between South Africa and Australia has always been something to behold. There's always hard cricket being played and some good cricket is on display," Rabada said yesterday.
