Australia warm up ahead T20 World Cup clash with South Africa

Sunday, September 30 2012 by SNTV
  • Intro:

    Australia were limbering up on Saturday ahead their match against South Africa in Colombo on Sunday, having mauled India by nine wickets with 31 balls to spare in their opening match.

    Script:

    The Australians produced a merciless display with both bat and ball against India at the ICC World Twenty20.
    Shane Watson led the team's bowling attack with 3-34, while Pat Cummins (2-16) and Mitch Starc (1-27) also chipped in, as Australia restricted India to just 140 runs in their 20 overs.
    Australia face South Africa in their second Super Eights fixture on Sunday and Watson knows T20s are always an unpredictable prospect.
    As Australia aims to put one foot in the door of the semi-finals, South Africa is attempting to keep pace with the group's leaders and remain in the competition.
    South Africa booked their spot in the Super Eights with two victories in the group stages but fell to a two-wicket loss at the hands of Pakistan.
    Opening batsmen Richard Levi and Hashim Amla, who often set the tone for South Africa's innings, were dismissed early for eight and six, respectively.
    If South Africa are to stand any of chance of living up to their number one tag, the likes of Amla and Dale Steyn will need to be at their best against an Australian side intent on attacking from the get-go.
    If Australia win on Sunday, a semi-final birth will be theirs.
