The much-anticipated SA vs AUS Test series began last week in Durban, but it turned out to be a one-sided affair. Australia took a 1-0 lead in the series after they won the first Test by 214 runs. That loss also meant that the home team and the current WTC holders are third in the points table.
At one stage, South Africa were in complete control when Australia were six wickets down for 120 runs in the first innings. But the bowlers let go of the advantage as the game went on, and captain Temba Bavuma saw his side react passively to every question posed by the Aussies. Tristan Stubbs has been dropped for this key game, while Kagiso Rabada makes his return after a long injury layoff.
Australia, on the other hand, will be indebted to Matt Renshaw, who scored a total of 272 runs in the game and also took two wickets. Josh Hazlewood continued his amazing bowling form and took eight wickets in the game.
