On Saturday, the Super 12 phase of the T20 World Cup 2021 will be kicked off by old rivals Australia and South Africa. They’ll meet in a Group 1 match at Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Zayed Stadium.
As a result, Australia has always been favored when the two teams have met in the past, particularly in ICC events. South Africa, on the other hand, will be trying to turn a fresh page when they encounter their opponent in this match. South Africa will be boosted by Australia’s poor form in the lead-up to the T20 World Cup in 2021, as well as the Proteas’ own great form.
Following a lackluster performance in the warm-ups, Australia will enter Saturday’s contest with low expectations. They defeated New Zealand by three wickets before getting thrashed by India by eight wickets. South Africa, on the other hand, was a lot more compelling. They won by 41 runs against Afghanistan and by six wickets against Pakistan.
As such, In Match 13 of the T20 World Cup 2021, a number of talented bowlers from both sides will be eager to showcase their abilities. We take a look at three individuals who have the potential to take the most wickets in the game.
#3 Ashton Agar
Ashton Agar’s claim to fame used to be scoring 98 on his Test debut while batting at No. 11. That outstanding accomplishment was repeated in 2013. His Test career, unfortunately, never took off. In the T20I format, the left-arm spinner has recently developed into a match-winning bowler for Australia.
#2 Tabraiz Shamsi
Tabraiz Shamsi, South Africa’s own quality left-arm spinner, complements Australia’s Agar. The 31-year-talents old’s have impressed most critics, making him a bowler to watch at the T20 World Cup in 2021. His fitness had been questioned ahead of the match against Australia, but he has been cleared to play.
#1 Mitchell Starc
Mitchell Starc, an Australian left-arm seamer, is unquestionably one of the most brilliant bowlers in world cricket, regardless of format. On his best days, he is capable of destroying even the most formidable opponents. The Australians will be expecting for something special from Starc as they aim to get their T20 World Cup campaign off to a flying start in 2021.
