The 2nd T20I of the ongoing South Africa tour of Australia 2025 will be played on August 12 in Darwin. The first match of the three-match series was played at the same venue this weekend. Chasing a gettable target of 179, the T20 World Cup 2024 finalists failed to win the game after being 120/3 at one stage. In the 15th over of the Proteas innings, Josh Hazlewood took out Tristan Stubbs and George Linde.
Thanks to the 17-run loss, the last year’s finalists need to win this game to keep the series alive. From the Australian perspective, another win would help them bag another T20I series, after having smashed the two-time T20 World Cup winners, West Indies in the Caribbean Islands.
