After a month's break, Australia are set to kick start their 2020 international chapter with an African safari in South Africa in a short tour. They will face the Proteas for a T20I and ODI series (3 games each) between February 21, 2020 and March 07, 2020.
The Australians last featured in a T20I series in November 2019 against Pakistan, which they secured quite convincingly by 2-0. But lost their most recent ODI series against India 2-1. They will certainly eye a winning start to their African tour under skipper Aaron Finch, who will lead them in both formats.
On the flipside, South Africa tied their ODI series against England, but lost the T20I encounter by 1-2. Despite this the Cricket South Africa (CSA) selectors have showed faith in the same set-up and have retained the core group with just three changes in the 16-men T20I squad under skipper Quinton de Kock.
