Bosch was the most expensive of all South African bowlers in the game, finishing with figures of 3-0-44-0. Left-arm pacer Kwena Maphaka picked up four wickets, while Kagiso Rabada took two. George Linde, Senuran Muthusamy and Lungi Ngidi picked up one each.

David was the star of Australia's batting unit as his 52-ball 83, laced with eight sixes and four fours, propelled the hosts to 178 in 20 overs. Cameron Green made a vital contribution with a whirlwind 13-ball 35.

Notably, the home side had collapsed to 78/6 at one stage, making David and Green's efforts all the more impressive.

Meanwhile, the Proteas lost Aiden Markram after what looked like a promising start in pursuit of 179. Markram carted Josh Hazlewood for three boundaries in the first over the chase, including two on the trot. But the speedster had the visiting skipper caught at cover, with Cameron Green taking a sharp catch.

Australia, led by Mitchell Marsh, are coming off a 5-0 T20I series victory in the West Indies, while South Africa narrowly lost the tri-series final to New Zealand in Zimbabwe. At the time of writing, the visitors were 40/2 in 4.4 overs, having also lost Lhuan-dre Pretorius for 14.
