The first T20I of the three-match series between Australia and South Africa is taking place at the Marrara Cricket Ground in Darwin on Sunday, August 10. South African captain Aiden Markram won the toss and invited the hosts to bat first in the series opener, after which, riding on Tim David’s 83-run knock from 52 balls, the Aussies posted a total of 178 runs for the loss of 10 wickets in 20 overs. During his stay at the crease on Sunday, David hammered four fours and eight sixes for the Mitchell Marsh-led side. Of his eight sixes, two came against Corbin Bosch, and one of those two biggies by David was caught by a fan in the stands. In a video going viral on the internet, the fan, who was carrying two beer cans in his right hand, completed the catch with his left, and after that catch, he drew big cheers from fans. Here’s a look: CALL IT – BEST CROWD CATCH OF THE YEAR AND IT’S ONLY AUGUST! Two cans in one hand, Kookaburra in the other. #AUSvSA pic.twitter.com/ZsIlhXEg3k — cricket.com.au (@cricketcomau) August 10, 2025 David, who scored a century in just 37 balls for the Aussies against the West Indies last month, added 59 runs for the seventh wicket with Ben Dwarshuis (17 runs from 19 balls) and 30 runs for the eighth wicket with Nathan Ellis (12 runs) to help Australia bounce back from 75/6 in 7.4 overs and reach 178/10. Marsh creates history Mitchell Marsh is the captain of Australia’s T20I team, and on Sunday (August 10), he is also playing as an opener for the Aussies against South Africa. The 33-year-old right-handed batter opened his account by hitting Lungi Ngidi for a six. The six off Ngidi’s bowling on the first ball of the match on Sunday helped Marsh enter his name in the history books. He became the first cricketer from Australia to hit six on the first ball of a T20I match. Former Australian captain and opener Aaron Finch also smacked a six on the first ball of a T20I for Australia, but he achieved the feat during a run chase. After opening his account with six, Marsh scored a four on the second legal ball of the match to make a rocking start, but he was not able to play a big knock. The 33-year-old was sent back to the pavilion by Kagiso Rabada.
