Newly-minted T20 captain Mitchell Marsh blasted an unbeaten 92 from 49 balls before Tanveer Sangha bagged four wickets as Australia won by 111 runs in Durban.
Mitchell Marsh has produced a blistering captain’s knock and Tanveer Sangha a dream debut as Australia crushed South Africa by a record 111 runs in the series-opening T20 clash in Durban.
Paceman Spencer Johnson was expensive on debut, but he fought back to claim two late wickets, including the scalp of opener Reeza Hendricks . “It’s always nice to start a three-match series with a win, and my job is to score runs, so it was nice to get a couple,” Marsh told Fox Cricket after winning the man-of-the-match award.“It was a really good partnership, and he batted beautifully.”
Australia were in cruise control at 1-69 in the fifth over, but losing Short , Josh Inglis and Stoinis in quick succession resulted in the visitors slumping to 4-77.Credit:Marsh’s decision to open the bowling with Stoinis proved a masterstroke, with the all-rounder snaring the scalp of Temba Bavuma in an over that cost just one run.He snared his maiden T20 scalp with his sixth ball when Aiden Markram struck him straight to backward point.
