Tim David, Josh Hazlewood Hand Australia Win Over South Africa In 1st T20I

Australia defeated South Africa by 17 runs to take the first T20I of the three-match series in Darwin on Sunday. When just 60 were needed in six overs for South Africa to win with two set batters at crease, Josh Hazlewood delivered a stunning one-run over and picked up two wickets to turn the game which eventually Australia won. Earlier, Tim David slammed a 52-ball 83 to take Australia to 178 all out. Kwena Maphaka picked up four wickets for South Africa but their batting could not stand up to the task.
