Australia Dominates T20s Against South Africa, India A

Australia's men's team secured a 17-run victory over South Africa in the first T20I in Darwin, marking their ninth consecutive T20I win, with Tim David's 83 and Cameron Green's 35 rescuing them from a top-order collapse. Glenn Maxwell and Josh Hazlewood delivered key performances in the field and with the ball. South Africa's Ryan Rickelton scored a resilient 71, while 19-year-old Kwena Maphaka became the youngest bowler from a full ICC member to take a T20I four-wicket haul with figures of 4-20. In women's cricket, Australia A swept India A 3-0 in their unofficial T20 series, with Alyssa Healy and Kim Garth leading dominant displays, while India A's Prema Rawat and Radha Yadav excelled with the ball. India A's batting suffered repeated collapses, undermining their bowlers' efforts. These outcomes underscore Australia's current dominance in both men's and women's T20 cricket.
