  • Australia vs South Africa 1st T20 starts at 7pm AEST / 10am BST / 5am ET Sunday, August 10

Australia vs South Africa T20 at Marrara Stadium, Darwin, is the first in a three-match series.

Australia are welcoming back some of their leading T20 players for this series, with Travis Head, Josh Hazlewood and Matt Short returning having missed the 5-0 series victory in the Caribbean over West Indies. The hosts are a formidable T20 side at present, with 22 wins in their past 26 matches.

For South Africa this is a different opportunity. The visitors are using the chance to give some fringe players exposure as this is one of 19 T20 matches South Africa have scheduled in the run up to the next T20 World Cup.

However, the tourists still have experience in the form of several of their big-name players including skipper Aiden Markram, and pace bowlers Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi. The bowling line up also includes the exciting 19-year-old left arm quick Kwena Maphaka. On his T20I debut in December, one of his deliveries was of 151.6kph (94.75mph).

So, read on and we'll explain how to watch the full T20 series between Australia and South Africa starting with the first game in Darwin
