Australia restrict South Africa to 118/9

Mitchell Starc to bowl the final over. He begins by conceding a double, before Kagiso Rabada hits a massive six! Absolutely hammered over long-on, that was hit miles into the air! A leg bye and then a wicket! Nortje departs after being caught by Finch. A single and then it's a run out on the last ball as Shamsi and Rabada attempted to run two! Oh no, Shamsi just about managed to make it back.

After 18 overs,South Africa 101/8 ( Kagiso Rabada 6 , Anrich Nortje 2)

Mitchell Starc's third over now. OUT! It's the big one, it's Aiden Markram who departs after holing out to Maxwell at deep mid-wicket! Mitchell Starc has his wicket! Three dots, a single and then a double, the hundred run mark comes up for SA.

16:46 (IST)

After 15 overs,South Africa 83/7 ( Aiden Markram 31 , Kagiso Rabada 0)

Pat Cummins' third over. Begins with a single and a dot. Oh it's all gone a bit pear-shaped for South Africa. There's a huge mixup, which sees Maharaj stranded in the middle of the pitch, and a diving Wade whips the bails off!

16:42 (IST)
wkt

After 14 overs,South Africa 82/6 ( Aiden Markram 30 , Keshav Maharaj 0)

OUT! David Miller's gone for 16! It's LBW, looks good, but Miller reviews. Replays confirm it would have hit the off-stump. Adam Zampa strikes twice in the same over! Dwaine Pretorius tried a cut, but ends up getting an edge on it which carries through into the hands of Wade.

16:31 (IST)

After 13 overs,South Africa 77/4 ( Aiden Markram 28 , David Miller 14)

Hazlewood's third over, and Miller begins by defending the ball and running a single. Wade gets to it, and then whips off his glove and throws with pin-point accuracy to hit the stumps at the non-striker's end. Miller was just in though, but great work from the Aussie keeper. Single and then yet another near run out. The South African duo are really living on the edge right now. One more single, and then a rapid double. Dot to end the over, six from it.

16:27 (IST)

After 12 overs,South Africa 71/4 ( Aiden Markram 26 , David Miller 10)

Maxwell's final over begins with two singles. Oh, beauty from Maxwell, it zipped into Markram's pads. Not LBW, but still, a dangerous delivery. Another single and then almost a run out! Miller and Markram tried to run a very, very quick single, and Maxwell unleashed his throw on time but not on target. FOUR to end Maxwell's spell! Cut through deep backward point by Markram. Maxwell ends with figures of 4-0-24-1

16:23 (IST)

After 11 overs,South Africa 63/4 ( Aiden Markram 20 , David Miller 8)

Adam Zampa's second over, and it's almost LBW off the very first ball. Just a bit wide though, the umpire wasn't convinced and neither were Australia's players. A well run double off the second delivery and then almost caught and bowled! Oh never mind, it came up off the ground, wouldn't have counted anyway. Two singles, and then a wonderfully bowled dot, Zampa's a really slippery customer. Another dot to end the over, Australia continue to pile on the pressure.

16:17 (IST)

After 10 overs,South Africa 59/4 ( Aiden Markram 19 , David Miller 5)

Glenn Maxwell's third over coming up. He's been excellent so far. Starts off with a dot, and then Miller and Markram run a quick double. Single, dot and single follow. Not a bad over at all from Maxwell so far, South Africa really are struggling at the moment. Single to end, only five off it. 

16:13 (IST)

After 9 overs,South Africa 54/4 ( Aiden Markram 18 , David Miller 1)

Mitchell Starc's second over now. Starts off with a dot, and then a Markram leans into the drive and finds a gap in the covers for FOUR! It brings up the fifty-run mark for South Africa. Two singles follow, and then a dot

16:11 (IST)

After 8 overs,South Africa 46/4 ( Aiden Markram 11 , David Miller 0)

Cummins to bowl his second over. First is a single, and then Klaasen drives so so well past mid-off. That was firmly struck and it's FOUR! OUT! Pat Cummins has his wicket, and Heinrich Klaasen departs after a leading edge carries to Smith at point.

Preview: Big guns will be in action on the opening day of the Super 12 stage of T20 World Cup. The first match is between Aaron Finch's Australia against Temba Bavuma's South Africa at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

Both Group 1 teams haven't won the T20 World title and they will aim to get off to a winning start.

A win on Saturday will certainly be a lot of help to Australia who enter the tournament with a few concerns. They are suffered four series defeats against Bangladesh, West Indies, New Zealand, India and England, also losing eight of their last 10 T20I games.

David Warner is going through a tough time with the bat. His IPL team Sunrisers Hyderabad dropped him after failures in the UAE and in the two warm-up games against New Zealand and India, he made 0 and 1.

At least form-wise, South Africa are better when compared to their opponents. They are entering the tournament on the back of three consecutive series win against West Indies, Ireland and Sri Lanka. They have also beaten Afghanistan and Sri Lanka in the two warm-up games.

Batting is one area which Proteas have to concentrate and a lot will depend on Quinton de Kock. In the bowling department, the likes of Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje and Lungi Ngidi make a formidable unit.
