T20 WC AUS vs SA highlights: Stoinis' cameo helps Australia win by 5 wkts | ICC T20 World Cup 2021 News - Business Standard

Can Australia ends its horror run in T20Is?

<div>
	Australia will hope their lacklustre top order can fire from the word go when they open their T20 World Cup campaign against an under-the-radar South African side, playing without the usual burden of pressure, in a Super 12 Group 1 match here on Saturday.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Australia, who are searching for their maiden T20 title, enter the tournament on the back of a horrific run, losing bilateral series to Bangladesh, West Indies, New Zealand, India and England.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Many first-choice team members skipped the recent white-ball tours, during which Australia managed just five wins and lost 13 matches. Hence most of their players have had scant preparation.</div>
