South Africa tour of Australia (2025) - 3 T20Is and 3 ODIs

[mominsaigol]

Good 50 from Marsh on his way to score a 100 now

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why is he afraid of tossing it for Mitch Marsh. He is not going to hurt you.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They bowled 5 absolutely rubbish leg side deliveries. He hit all 5 of them for 5 sixes.

 

[Devadwal]

Marsh is gone . Is there any twist?

 

[mominsaigol]

Inglis is class player will easily destroy rizzu and prove to the world he is the goat

@Nikhil_cric @Sachin fan

Their is no way this is possible anymore? It was funny for a while but its been happening for weeks now?

How is this even possible? Its god damn annoying. Now.

Anytime i say something, from 1 second to 3 mins the opposite happens. This is virtually impossible?

The odds of it happening is next to nill? How am I consistently doing this?

[Devadwal]

Muthusamy is rubbish bowler

 

[jnaveen1980]

21 runs 4 wickets gone. So keep going attitude for Australia. They got away luckily in Windies thanks to dropped catches.

 

[mominsaigol]

Time for green to win it single handedly

OMG??? UNBELIEVABLE

 

[Ice Man]

That was just a dumb dismissal.

 

[Devadwal]

Green gone too , @Vikram1989 should I change my team now? Maxi is still there?

Less is more, brother momin. Embrace minimalism

 

[mominsaigol]

Less is more, brother momin. Embrace minimalism

Absolutely not. I am not a brokie boy. This is a phase, it shall pass. Tim David will easily win it for Aus

 

[jnaveen1980]

Australia has about 5 or 6 impact players. Their hope is one of them will always click.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Muthuswamy - no real overspin on the ball

 

[Vikram1989]

Lean series for Head. 2, 5, 19

I think since ipl.nothing much for him apart from 1 or 2 50s

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Absolutely not. I am not a brokie boy. This is a phase, it shall pass. Tim David will easily win it for Aus

Oh?

 

[Ice Man]

Absolutely not. I am not a brokie boy. This is a phase, it shall pass. Tim David will easily win it for Aus

Holy ****, mate!!!

The jinx is real.

 

[mominsaigol]

Holy ****, mate!!!

Oh?

I don't know bro, I just don't know what to say. Only I can cause a purple patch dream series player to fail so miserably.

 

[mominsaigol]

Atleast hardie can win it hopefully

 

[mominsaigol]

I was @^#^£^#&#& kidding

 

[mominsaigol]

Whatever Maxwell will pull off an Afghanistan

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Need a head high fast bumper near Maxi's left ear

 

[mominsaigol]

Need a head high fast bumper near Maxi's left ear

Maxwell will win it. He has always come in clutch. A master of batting with the tail

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Maxwell doing it for Aussies

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rabada has faltered in his last over

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think since ipl.nothing much for him apart from 1 or 2 50s

His game always relies on touch of luck. For him it just happened at the right time.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

50 for Maxwell off 30 balls

 

[jnaveen1980]

Maxwell is not exactly in prime touch. SA couldn't control him with wet ball. Very poor landing from all bowlers

 

[mominsaigol]

Maxwell will win it. He has always come in clutch. A master of batting with the tail

So the only person I dont comment on throughout the game and only comment as a joke to my brother @Nikhil_cric and didnt even actually mean it.

I was kidding and thought the game was loat yet maxwell wins it?

So what do i do now? Do I just pretend to make claims? Cause anytime im dead serious it doesnt work.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Run a ball now

 

[mominsaigol]

This is nonsense. I dont even feel good about aussie victory anymore.

Australia only wins when I am not involved . Nonsense

 

[Devadwal]

And some idiots compared Rabada to Bumrah

 

[jnaveen1980]

And some idiots compared Rabada to Bumrah

Rabada's IPL ER is over 9. He is never reliable in T20. He can have some real good days. Also very bad days.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bosch should go bang bang. No choice. If you leave it to maxwell he will somehow hack it to some corner for 4.

 

[Vikram1989]

I think spin heavy afg will really fancy their chances against aus , sa.both have to improve a lot against spin especially on slow tracks

 

[Ice Man]

Another dumb dismissal, tbh.

 

[Devadwal]

I think spin heavy afg will really fancy their chances against aus , sa.both have to improve a lot against spin especially on slow tracks

Afghanistan humiliated Australia in last World T20 and likely to humiliate again in next World T20

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think spin heavy afg will really fancy their chances against aus , sa.both have to improve a lot against spin especially on slow tracks

On a slight dry surface they will come a cropper. Rememebr there was an MImatch where they turned down singles just to keep Tim David away from strike against spin.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bosh is the boss. Heavy length ball.

 

[Devadwal]

Single le Lena na yar. I want Australia to win so I can win

 

[mominsaigol]

So the only person I dont comment on throughout the game and only comment as a joke to my brother @Nikhil_cric and didnt even actually mean it.

Ofcourse Australia is losing now that I am serious. Ofcourse

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is what Rabada should have done instead of bowling crap.

 

[Devadwal]

Comeon maxi

 

[jnaveen1980]

Was that a great fielding by Bosch?

 

[jnaveen1980]

That was a rubbish ball lol

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Fat, unfit Ngidi bowling rubbish.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Two nothing balls.

 

[mominsaigol]

Maxwell > Jadeja. A true superstar allrounder

 

[jnaveen1980]

Maxwell will find a way i sense. He has this unique hackish style that get him boundary somewhere

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ngidi royally choked lol Should have given it too Mapaka

 

[Ice Man]

@mominsaigol the jinx streak is over, lol.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

80 mph full toss, lmao

 

[Devadwal]

Thanks maxi and lungii.

India will smashed These tullebaaz in 5 match ODI series in australia in few months.

They Barley won the match against South Africa

 

[BDfanforever]

What a thrilling contest. Anything under 190 will be cakewalk for this Aus team.

 

[Ice Man]

Obviously, good to win the series but some big question marks in different areas of our team.

 

[mominsaigol]

@mominsaigol the jinx streak is over, lol.

No it isn't. The maxwell comment was a joke to @Nikhil_cric

The rest were serious. I had given up. Ofcourse the opposite happens.

Regardless I believe it is just a phase, this will pass and I'll be back to nailing every prediction like I always do

 

[jnaveen1980]

80 mph full toss, lmao

Definitely too many slippery deliveries from Rabada/Ngidi. Australia chases everys ingle time due to wet ball.

 

[jnaveen1980]

SA's wimpy finish cost them the game. THey needed around 200.

 

[Devadwal]

[Vikram1989]

Afg team with 3 good spinners will create havoc.all the batsmen( apart from maxi) are not even watching the ball but expecting every ball to come at same speed.Thats too much

 

[AZulfi]

Another unbelievable knock by Maxwell taking Australia over the finishing line (with just 1 ball remaining) in a tight run chase. He is a class act; a match winner.

Mitch finally getting his act together and making a T20 fifty after 19 innings.

When you see the quality of hitting of Aussie and South African batsmen you realise that the gulf between them and Pak is too great. A brainless hack like Harris is overhyped on pp.

These days Pakistan struggle to beat BD, Zimbabwe, USA and Afghanistan never mind the top 5 teams. All will be revealed later this month!

Even Windies and Sri Lanka are better than us.

Our batting is just too inept - period. No ability to rotate the strike or build partnerships. Lack of game awareness and planning. No ability to set a decent total or chase a target (apart from the occasional effort)

 

[sweep_shot]

Aussies won by 2 wickets and won the series 2-1.

Great series.

 

[Ball Blazer]

Outcomes from Cairns:

Australia completed their highest successful T20I chase at home
They have now won seven of the nine 2+ T20I series played against South Africa (1 lost, 1 drawn)
This is their sixth bilateral T20I series win in their last seven (1 drawn vs England in Sep '24)

Match Report: Australia win by 2 wickets

Clutch Maxwell steers Aussies home in final-over thriller

Glenn Maxwell has produced another piece of run-chasing brilliance to guide Australia to a series victory in the third BKT Tyres T20I against South Africa in Cairns.

Maxwell (62no from 36 balls, eight fours, two sixes) was the last recognised batter with 51 runs required from the final six overs, forced to turn down singles to shield the lower order from the strike.

It proved another masterstroke from the mercurial allrounder, who timed the chase to perfection and singlehandedly hit the 10 runs required of Lungi Ngidi's final over to seal the win by two wickets with one ball remaining.

As the equation came down to four required from two balls, Maxwell finished the job with a trademark reverse sweep off the match's penultimate delivery.

Earlier, South Africa were held to 7-172 after another Dewald Brevis blast looked to have them set for at least 200.

And when Mitch Marsh plundered five sixes to launch Australia to 0-52 in the Powerplay, the result looked beyond doubt early in the chase.

But South Africa's bowlers had other ideas.

Marsh had threatened a big score in the opening matches in Darwin, cracking the first ball of the series for six and hitting 22 off 13 balls in the second match.

Things finally clicked for the Australian captain at Cazalys Stadium however, reaching his half-century off 34 balls, his first time he has passed the milestone in 19 T20I innings.

But the Proteas bowlers responded with a four-over burst of 4-22 to steal the ascendancy.

Captain Aiden Markram said on Friday that he would "trust his gut" when deciding when to bowl and his intuition was spot on as he broke the 66-run opening stand by having Travis Head caught at short fine leg.

It's been a series Josh Inglis will want to forget after he was bowled by allrounder Corbin Bosch. Inglis missed game two with the flu after a golden duck in the opening match and fell first ball once again with a Bosch ball that hurried the keeper-batter.

Then Kwena Maphaka grabbed two crucial wickets in an over, with Marsh and Cameron Green both caught on the leg-side boundary.

Maxwell and Tim David steadied the chase until Kagiso Rabada was called back into the attack.

Markram brought his main man back for the 14th of the innings and Rabada grabbed 2-2 which included the wickets of Tim David and Aaron Hardie.

But the South Africans couldn't dislodge Maxwell.

The Victorian had reached his half-century off 30 balls immediately after he dispatched a Kagiso Rabada free hit onto the packed-out grass bank.

Bosch threatened to steal the game for South Africa with an incredible display of yorker bowling at the death with Maxwell stuck at the non-striker's end.

He claimed the wickets of Ben Dwarshuis and Nathan Ellis in consecutive balls to bring the visitors back into the contest with a maiden over.

But Maxwell's latest epic got Australia over the line.

Asked to bat first, South Africa looked set for a second consecutive 200-plus score as Brevis repeated his heroics from Tuesday with a 22-ball fifty.

His 27-run over off Aaron Hardie, which featured three huge sixes in a row, powered SA to 3-108 after 11 overs.

Fresh off his 41-ball century in Cairns, Brevis had brought his sweet timing across the state border with the biggest of his launches measuring 120m according to Fox Cricket's broadcast.

But just as it appeared the Aussies had been struck with a case of déjà vu, Maxwell pulled off a stunning catch at long on to dismiss the young gun who had mistimed a slap-shot off Nathan Ellis.

The wicket of Brevis (53 off 26) brought all the Proteas momentum to a halt as they managed only 33 runs in the next six overs.

None of the visitors could find the same timing as Brevis, although Lhuan-dre Pretorius (24 off 15) threatened in the Powerplay but smashed Ellis straight to Aaron Hardie at midwicket.

SA managed a solid finish to the innings with 30 runs off the final three overs to reach 7-172, led by No.6 Rassie van der Dussen's unbeaten 38.

They are going through a nice winning streak in T20 format.

I wouldn't be surprised if they win the 2026 World T20.

India might win it due to rigging pitches.

India is losing wtc 2027 and wc 2027 though

Yes. Possible.

I don't think India will reach WTC 2027 final. I expect Australia vs South Africa again.

 

[mominsaigol]

Yes. Possible.

I don't think India will reach WTC 2027 final. I expect Australia vs South Africa again.

I back England vs Aus final

 

[sweep_shot]

I back England vs Aus final

If England can't beat India at home, no chance for a WTC final in my opinion.

 

[mominsaigol]

Idk, i just wanna see an Australian vs eng final but I feel like sa and aus will once again make it to the final
