Australia Vs South Africa 1st T20I LIVE Score: Tim David Stars As Maphaka 4-fer Restricts AUS To 178

AUS 178 (20)

Australia are all out for 178 and they have used all their resources. A crazy innings. Australia kept losing wickets but never tried to slow things down. They were 75 for six at one point but Tim David kept hitting and thanks to two dropped chances made 83. Kwena Maphaka stands out for Proteas with four overs of just 20 runs and he picked up four wickets.

AUS 158/7 (17)

Tim David has moved to 78 now. He has just been dropped at long off and he is making South Africa pay. What an incredible innings so far from David. He has hit the spinners, hit the pacers and totally made a good South African bowling line-up look ineffective.

AUS 132/6 (14)

Tim David has hit a fantastic fifty and he is still taking his chances. 54 off 31 for David so far and he is currently alongside Ben Dwarshius on the crease who has scored 16 runs. A good partnership and South Africa are being frustrated. They need David's wicket.

Glenn Maxwell is also gone now and Australia have lost six wickets. Tim David is still there and the Aussies would hope for him to take the game deep here. A brilliant back and forth so far in this game. Australia can not stop hitting boundaries while the Proteas can not stop taking wickets.

AUS 88/6 (10)

A rapid start in the powerplay. Amazing for both the teams. Australia have plundered 71 runs in six overs but South Africa have struck four times already. Every Aussie batter has gone hard. Cameron Green is the latest man to depart for 35 off just 13 balls.

Kagiso Rabada dismisses Travis Head. A brilliant end to a brilliant over from Rabada. He gives away just a single run and takes the important wicket of Head. Just two for the left-hander today off seven deliveries.

AUS 15/1 (2)

Mitch Marsh has dispatched the very first ball of the match for a six. It is a full outswinging delivery from Lungi Ngidi and Marsh just launches it straight down the ground for a first-ball maximum.
