Following de Kock's dismissal, the responsibility fell on the shoulders of Aiden Markram and Heinrich Klaasen. Aiden Markram also scored a fifty, he too is coming back after scoring a 100 in the first game.

South Africa are batting at 272 for the loss of five wickets in 45 overs and would be looking to give Australia a good target and would expect their bowler to restrict Aussie batter.
