South Africa vs Australia Score, 1st T20I of Australia vs South Africa 2025

OUT! Bowled. Ben Dwarshuis to Kagiso Rabada. Leg cutter length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, missed. With that, the game comes to an end. After opting to chase, the Proteas couldn't quite get over the line. Despite some early setbacks in the powerplay, Tristan Stubbs and Ryan Rickelton put together a crucial fourth-wicket partnership. However, once Stubbs was dismissed, the wickets began to tumble quickly, with batters failing to impact the match and spend enough time at the crease. Josh Hazlewood and Ben Dwarshuis were the standout bowlers for Australia, each claiming three wickets. Tim David is adjudged as the Player of the Match, his runs being the key difference for Australia.
