Highlights, South Africa vs Australia, T20 World Cup Group 1 match in Gqeberha: Australia win by six wickets

Toss: Australia chose to field after winning the toss in their T20 World Cup Group 1 match against hosts South Africa in Gqeberha on Saturday.

Five-time champions Australia, who are also the current trophy holders, are on a roll in the ongoing tournament, having won all three matches so far by sizeable margins. They crushed Trans-Tasman rivals New Zealand by 97 runs in their opening game before beating Bangladesh and Sri Lanka by eight wickets and 10 wickets respectively, making themselves solid favourites for a sixth T20 world title.

Hosts South Africa, on the other hand, got their campaign off to an indifferent start, suffering a stunning three-run reversal at the hands of Sri Lanka in the tournament opener. The Sune Luus-led Proteas however, bounced back in style in their following game against New Zealand, bundling the White Ferns out for 67 to register a 65-run victory.

Both teams made one change each. Alyssa Healy was ruled out of the encounter due to a quad strain, with Annabel Sutherland taking her place in the XI and Beth Mooney keeping the wickets. For the South Africans, Masabata Klaas came in for Ayabonga Khaka.

Teams:

Australia: Beth Mooney(w), Ellyse Perry, Meg Lanning(c), Ashleigh Gardner, Tahlia McGrath, Grace Harris, Georgia Wareham, Annabel Sutherland, Alana King, Megan Schutt, Darcie Brown.

South Africa: Laura Wolvaardt, Tazmin Brits, Marizanne Kapp, Sune Luus(c), Chloe Tryon, Nadine de Klerk, Delmi Tucker, Sinalo Jafta(w), Shabnim Ismail, Masabata Klaas, Nonkululeko Mlaba.

The crisis, however, presents us with an opportunity to step back, rethink, and write on sports differently. In line with this thought, we are running a series of profiles on India's illustrious badminton stars. The articles, penned by Shirish Nadkarni, promise to take you on a nostalgia trip while touching upon the lesser-known facets from the lives of the past masters. Few badminton players can boast of the kind of consistency and all-round excellence that characterised Sarojini, the eldest of the three Apte sisters who dominated Indian badminton in the mid-1960s. Sarojini played in six Indian Nationals, from 1962 to ’67, and figured in the finals of all the three events in all the six years, except for a solitary ladies doubles final in 1964.
