The second T20I between Australia and South Africa is set to take place on August 12, 2025, at the Marrara Cricket Ground in Darwin. The match is scheduled to begin at 2:45 PM IST, with the toss taking place at 2:15 PM IST.

For viewers in India, the live streaming of the match will be available on the JioHotstar app and website. Additionally, the match will be telecast live on the Star Sports Network channels on television.

Australia is aiming to extend its winning streak against South Africa, having won the first T20I by 17 runs. This victory marked their ninth consecutive win in the T20I format. In the first match, South Africa had a strong start, but Tim David's impressive performance led Australia to a total of 178, which they successfully defended.

Tim David's blistering innings of 83 runs off 52 balls was crucial for Australia in the first T20I. Despite a shaky start that saw them at 77-6, David's knock propelled them to a competitive total. For South Africa, Ryan Rickelton's 71 was a standout performance, but it wasn't enough to secure a victory.

Australia's predicted playing eleven includes Mitchell Marsh (c), Travis Head, Josh Inglis (wk), Cameron Green, Glenn Maxwell, Tim David, Mitch Owen, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Josh Hazlewood, and Adam Zampa. South Africa's probable eleven features Aiden Markram (c), Ryan Rickelton (wk), Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Dewald Brevis, Tristan Stubbs, George Linde, Senuran Muthusamy, Corbin Bosch, Kagiso Rabada, Kwena Maphaka, and Lungi Ngidi.

The Marrara Cricket Ground pitch is considered balanced. In the first T20I, some deliveries were slow, causing difficulties for the batters. However, players who took their time at the crease found it easier to score later in the innings. A similar pitch is expected for the second T20I.

Australia has welcomed back key T20 players like Travis Head and Josh Hazlewood for this series. South Africa is using this series to give opportunities to fringe players while still featuring experienced players like Aiden Markram, Kagiso Rabada, and Lungi Ngidi. The South African bowling lineup also includes the young, fast bowler Kwena Maphaka.
