South Africa vs Australia 2009: who will win first T20?
Earlier the year 2009, South Africa played two Twenty20 matches when South Africa visited Australia. That time the visitors defeated in both tournaments. Now, Australia is visiting South Africa. They already has won the Test series and now they will meet for the most exciting cricket match Twenty20 tournament on 27 March, 2009 at New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg and according toe the local time 18:00 and 16:00 GMT.
So, this is a big opportunity for South Africa to take the revenge of defeat. They beat to Australia in the first Twenty20 match for 52 runs and for 6 wickets (with 7 balls remaining) in second one. It is clear that SA could not dominate Aus bowlers in both matches. But, hope that they could do well in their home grounds.
No doubt that that host has to prepare themselves very strong in all sides. Australia is the best cricket playing nation and it is tough to bead them although they are in not in good form now. But the SA are mentally very strong because they won the T20 trophy in Aus. But it is very clear that they have overcome their lacking of the previous test series.
