After an embarrassing defeat in just two days at the hands of Australia, South Africa will be looking to bounce back to winning ways when they square off against the hosts in the iconic Boxing Day Test in Melbourne on Monday.
In the first match of the series, Pat Cummins' side won the toss and they chose to bat first. The Proteas stuttered their way to 152 runs as Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon picked up 3 wickets each while Kyle Verreynne was the top run-getter at 64.
In reply, Australia smashed 218 runs, courtesy of Travis Head's 92-run knock, but the hosts bundled out Dean Elgar's side for a paltry 99 runs in the second innings, as skipper Cummins picked up a fifer.
Needing a modest 35-run target to win, Australia lost 4 wickets but got over the line. With a place in the final of the World Test Championship (WTC) at stake, expect the proteas to give it their all.
