A win in this game would be Australia's 10th consecutive T20I victory, an extension of the record they already hold with a nine-game streak. Watch the cricket match live today.
In the opener, Tim David continued his red-hot form by smashing 83 runs off 52 deliveries as the Aussies went from 75-6 to a challenging 178-run total. The loss of wickets did not curtail the hosts' six-hitting spree as they clobbered 13 maximums as part of their power-packed approach to the format.
In contrast, the Proteas could muster just two sixes as they ended up with 161 runs for the loss of nine wickets in 20 overs. Wicketkeeper-batter Ryan Rickelton hit a 55-ball 71 but did not get much support from the other end. For the victors, Josh Hazlewood and Ben Dwarshuis claimed three wickets apiece.
The visitors needed 21 runs off the last five balls to achieve their target, but Rickelton's resistance was ended by a scarcely believable catch from Glenn Maxwell, who jumped over the boundary to grab the ball, released it back over his shoulder before landing, then leapt back into bounds to grasp it again.
Victory in Tuesday's game will secure a sixth consecutive series win for Australia over South Africa in T20Is. The Proteas' only victory over them in a multi-game series in the format came in March 2009 (2-0).
