Speaking about the Australia series, opener Ruturaj Gaikwad led the batting chart as he was the highest run-getter in the series with 223 runs to his name at an average of 56. The talented opening batter struck one century and one half-century across the five matches. Spinner Ravi Bishnoi grabbed the Player of the Series award for his nine wickets at an average of 18.22. Courtesy of that, he has now become the no. 1 ranked T20I bowler in the ICC rankings.

On the other hand, South Africa's last T20I assignment came in September against Australia at home where they suffered a whitewash. The Proteas lost the three-match series 0-3 on home soil. Aiden Markram and his new-looking SA side will be hoping to begin a new series with a victory in Durban.
