Australia and South Africa will kick-start the Super 12 stage of today at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. Australia, who is searching for its maiden World T20 title, enter the tournament on the back of a horrific run, losing bilateral series to Bangladesh, West Indies, New Zealand, India and England. David Warner's form is a huge concern but the team is adamant the opener will turn things around. His troubled run in T20 cricket continued in the two warm-up games where he scored 0 and 1. It won’t come as a surprise if Australia team management decides to drop Warner from the playing 11.

South Africa, on the other hand, will enter the clash high on spirits and in-form, having emerged victorious in three consecutive series against defending champions West Indies, Ireland and Sri Lanka and both the practice games. The Proteas have a problem of plenty at the top order with four in-form openers in, Temba Bavuma, Quinton de Kock, and Reeza Hendricks.
