Australia has a tough task ahead of them as they face opening batsman, AB De Villiers, whose exceptional talents were proven at South Africa’s most recent T20 in a nine-wicket win against England. Said Australia’s captain, Steven Smith about trying to contain AB De Villiers: “It’s very difficult to do, he’s one of the most destructive – if not the most destructive – batsman in the world and he does hit the ball 360 degrees, so when he is going he’s very tough to stop,” Smith said. “We’re going to have a few plans in place for him that will hopefully work, but he’s a terrific player and very hard to stop.”
South Africa have been on winning streak in limited-overs cricket, winning five matches in a row against England. They have also recently enjoyed triumphs over India by winning the T20 and ODI legs on last year’s tour, and they will be further improved by the return of Dale Steyn from a shoulder injury. Australia hope to see Finch, Watson, James Faulkner and Nathan Coulter-Nile to be available for the first match on Friday after recent injuries.
