The Standard Bank Proteas are aiming to continue building a winning culture in the one-off T20 International against Australia at the Metricon Stadium at the Gold Coast on Saturday. The Proteas are still on a high after winning the one-day international (ODI) series 2-1, and will be motivated to cap the tour off with another win. Proteas captain, Faf du Plessis, says the lone T20 fixture is another piece of the ‘bigger picture’, and they will look to give as many players who didn’t play in the ODI series an opportunity for game-time. Chris Morris, Farhaan Behardien and Tabraiz Shamsi are the only players in the squad who have yet to feature, and are itching for an opportunity to impress on the tour. Morris, in particular, is making a return to the squad after a lengthy injury, and last played for the Proteas in February this year.
Australia have a good record against South Africa in T20’s, and have won 11 of the 17 T20I head-to-head clashes on record. The 20000-seater multi-purpose Metricon Stadium, which is usually home to Australian Football League (AFL) side the Gold Coast SUNS, will be hosting its first international cricket match since it opened doors in 2011.
