The last time England visited Australia, they were humiliated by a 4-0 result. In the previous series, they had been trounced 5-0. The Three Lions last won on their opponents’ field in 2010, when they won the series 3-1.
Quinton de Kock is one of the most experienced batters for the Proteas in the 2021 T20 World Cup. De Kock batted at the top in the first game against Australia; however, he couldn’t deliver the required start. He departed after bizarrely losing his wicket.
“Quinton is a massive player for us. He’s done extremely well for South Africa ever since he started. He is a top-quality player, and I guess he just didn’t come off. Now we just need to look at it and come into the next game. He’s a world-class player, and he needs just to go in and do his thing. The batters know what they have to do.” he said
Due to their dismal batting effort, South Africa lost by five wickets to Australia on Saturday. Despite the fact that their bowling unit made Australia work hard for their 119-run mark, the Proteas were unable to avoid defeat.

Kagiso Rabada is well aware of the West Indies’ threat and does not take them lightly. The 26-year-old believes it is a new beginning for both teams as they seek their first points.
“West Indies are going to be looking to come back really strong. We can’t underestimate them. You can never underestimate the West Indies. They’re a dangerous team. You can’t underestimate anyone. Tomorrow is a new day. They’re incredibly a strong, powerful team, T20 team especially. That game is behind. The game that they played against England, that’s behind. Tomorrow is a completely new day.” he said
The defending champions are coming off a stunning loss to England in Dubai, where they capitulated for 55 runs. In three T20 World Cup matches against South Africa, the Caribbean side has only won once and would be eager to change that.
