Australia will face their second assignment of the summer when they take on South Africa in a one-off T20. The match is scheduled to be played at Metricon Stadium on the Gold Coast, with the first ball scheduled for 7:20pm (AEDT).
This is an opportunity for the Aussies to build some momentum ahead of a busy summer against India and Sri Lanka.
It’s been tough going since the ball-tampering scandal in South Africa across all formats of the game, with a loss to England, a difficult T20 tri-series against Zimbabwe and Pakistan, and then a 2-1 loss to the Proteas in the recent ODI series on home soil.
This will also be the first time international cricket has been played on the Gold Coast.
Date: Saturday, November 17
First ball: 7:20pm (AEDT)
Venue: Metricon Stadium, Gold Coast
TV: Live, Fox Sports (Fox Cricket 501)
Online: Live, Foxtel App, Foxtel Now
