australia vs south africa 3rd t20 match highlights 9 March 2016

australia vs southafrica 3rd t20 match highlights 9 March 2016, australia vs southafrica 3rd t20 match highlights 9 March 2016.South Africa and Australia are involved in a mock drill ahead of the ICC  Twenty20 (T20) World Cup 2016 starting Tuesday. Both these teams are considered as serious contenders for winning the title. The proteas will try to rub off their chokers tag and Australia will go for the kill in a bid to extend their tally of winning the World Cups.

 South Africa have finally got a spinner who can be useful under Indian conditions in Imran Tahir.  They have got a good chance of in this edition because most of their players have experience of playing in these conditions (IPL) and know how the tracks behave. The series between South Africa and Australia is evenly poised at 1-1, thanks to heroics of David Warner and Glenn Maxwell in the second T20 International series of the ongoing three-match T20I series. Following this, South Africa may want to make some changes in their side for the third and final T20I on 9th March. Darren Lehmann says even though Australia have reached the top of the ICC Rankings for Teams in Test cricket, his side has a lot left to achieve. Australia became world No. 1 after their away series win in New Zealand by a margin of 2-0 last month, and they are likely to stay at the top with lot of T20 cricket lined up in the next few months. Lehmann wants Australia to keep improving, as he believes Australia have selected the bunch of players who will take their team forward after as many as six retirements from the Test side last year, following the horrendous tour of England last year for Ashes 2015.

Our skill levels have improved, and that was our main focus in the last year-and-a-half. Everyone can bowl at the death and you dont become predictable - Charl Langeveldt, South Africa's bowling coach.
It’s been a difficult time lately for Australia in the Twenty20 arena, but the recent performance in Johannesburg is a welcome sight ahead of the T20 World Cup.

With South Africa setting a target of 205 runs, it was going to take a couple of stunning performances for Australia to level the series.

When you look at the Australian T20 squad there is certainly a variety of talent with both bat and ball, but there are two names that stand out. With Australia 3-32 and looking unlikely to chase the total, in came two of Australia’s x-factors.

David Warner and Glenn Maxwell perhaps haven’t been in the best of form of late, especially when you look at the talent they possess. There’s no denying that if Australia are to put up a serious challenge for the T20 World Cup then these two will have to deliver on a consistent basis.

Cricket Matches Live Cricket Scores Results Fixtures South Africa vs Australia 2016

Cricket Matches Live Cricket Scores Results Fixtures South Africa vs Australia 2016, Cricket Matches Live Cricket Scores Results Fixtures South Africa vs Australia 2016.Top-Order: The Australian top-order did not get off to a good start in the second T20I but Aaron Finch’s explosive abilities with the bat will definitely be much needed when Australia come out to play in the final T20I match of the three-match series.

 With David Warner proving his adaptability by going down the order at No. 4, and firing to seal victory for his side, Australia may well have to choose between left-handed Usman Khawaja’s batting potential and Shane Watson’s all-round abilities. Keeping Watson’s experience in mind in terms of his knowledge about  Indian conditions, giving him some time in the middle ahead of the World T20 Championships may be vital. On the contrary, Australia may also go out there with a left-right combination.The sub-continental pitches in India, especially in the hinterland, offers pristine batting conditions but also aids the spinners - one area of concern for both teams. For South Africa, Imran Tahir, has all but nailed his place as the lead spinner while Australia continue to play the 'roulette wheel' as their search for a lead spinner intensifies.

Coming back to the series, Cape Town offers different challenges to that of Johannesburg, the venue of the high scoring second T20I. Unlike the Wanderers, the bowlers will be expected to come into the equation. Newlands offers something for all, as evidenced by a high team score of 188 - by England against Zimbabwe, during the 2007 World T20. The pacers have enjoyed the conditions as well as have the spinners. Overall, the final international match of South Africa's season should be a cracker.The three-match T20 series is level now after Australia completed a brilliant chase in the second T20 at The Wanderers in Johannesburg, Sunday.

South Africa posted a total of 204 runs on the scoreboard in 20 overs. Captain Faf du Plessis played an outstanding innings of 79 runs, which helped his side post such a mammoth total in the second T20 of the series.

But his brilliance was nullified by David Warner and Glenn Maxwell, as the two added a record-breaking 161 runs for the fifth wicket. Later, James Faulkner and Mitchell marsh finished the match off for the Aussies in the last over of the match.

However, Proteas bowling coach Charl Langeveldt, despite the loss in the second T20, is happy with the way his bowlers have bowled.

Langeveldt feels the South Africa bowlers have made progress under him. They are not relying completely on Dale Steyn, which is a good sign.
