Preview:
Australia will take on South Africa in the Super 12 Group 1 match of the T20 World Cup 2021. Group 1 is considered as the group of death. as every team from this group are a formidable unit and look strong on the paper. Australia had a lean patch to date in the 20-over World Cups. as the global cricket powerhouse are yet to win this title. Having said, they are one of the favourites in this World Cup, with the right mixture of power hitters and exceptional bowling depth. They didn’t qualify for the knockouts in the last 2 World Cups and will be hoping for a better tournament this time around.
South Africa, on the other hand, have changed their setup completely by excluding some big names in the likes of Faf du Plessis. Some of the players are featuring for the first time in the ICC T20 World Cup, and lack of experience could prove to be costly. They have beaten Afghanistan and Pakistan in the warm-up matches, which is a positive sign. It will be interesting to see how they approach this match.

Wade is It a hard hitter batter, if open it will prove to be very usefull but in this match comes down to batting, then not much can be expected.
BATTER
Steven Smith
Steve Smith will bat at number 4 for Australia in this World Cup. He is in excellent knick with the bat, having scored 57 and 35 in the warm-up matches.
David Warner
David Warner may not have got big runs in recent times and he has struggled for form. However, the left-handed opener is a quality player and can be backed to come good. Last year in the UAE, he smashed 548 runs at an average of 39.14 in the IPL.
Aiden Markram
Aiden Markram has been in solid touch with the bat this year. He has mustered 408 runs at an average of 40.80 and a strike-rate of 150 in the shortest format in 2021. He can also float around the batting order and can be effective with the ball too.
Temba Bavuma
South Africa's skipper Temba Bavuma will have the responsibility on his shoulders to get the side over the line in this opening fixture. He made a 42-ball 46 in the last warm-up game against Pakistan.
Aaron Finch
Australian skipper Aaron Finch is a must-have pick considering his T20I record. He did look good during his 19-ball 24 against New Zealand in the first warm-up game. He will be the captain for this fixture.
Rassie Van Der Dussen
Explosive middle-order batsman Rassie van der-Dussen blasted a cracking hundred off just 51 balls against Pakistan in the second warm-up game. He single-handedly won them the game as well.

Glenn Maxwell

Mitchell Marsh
After an excellent series against the West Indies a few months back, star all-rounder Mitchell Marsh is set to bat at number 3 for Australia in this T20 World Cup. His ability to contribute with both bat and ball makes him a valuable pick.
Bowler
Bjorn Fortuin

Adam Zampa
Leg-spinner Adam Zampa bowled well in the two warm-up games. He picked up two wickets in the first warm-up fixture against New Zealand. The leg-spinner has taken 52 wickets in 50 T20Is.
Kagiso Rabada
South Africa speedster Kagiso Rabada looked in good rhythm in the second warm-up game against Pakistan. He picked up three wickets in that fixture. His ability to pick wickets upfront and also at the death makes him a top pick. Rabada has taken 41 wickets in 35 T20Is.
Anrich Nortje
Anrich Nortje is a fierce customer with the ball. He hits the deck really hard, and can trouble the batters with his extra pace.
Mitchell Starc
Mitchell Starc is good with the new ball and also at the death overs. He has scalped 51 wickets in his T20I career at an economy of 7.22.
Pat Cummins
Pat Cummins hasn't played any T20I cricket this year but he fared well for KKR in the first half of the IPL 2021. He took nine wickets and also scored 93 runs with the bat. He could be a vital pick and a key player for the Aussies.
