Pitch Report

- The cracks never actually opened up and we saw more spin yesterday. The spinners will come into play because of the turn that's on offer. I think on this surface, if you put runs on the board, then you really have a good chance to defend it. The average score is 171 but if you put 150-160, then you can make a match out of it

Commentary

So that will be all from the first match of the day at Edgbaston. Stay tuned for the next big game coming up in a few minutes between India Champions and West Indies Champions. Switch tabs and join us for that one, friends! This is the pair of Pragadeesh and Bidipto taking your leave. Keep following Sportskeeda!

Nathan Coulter-Nile (Player of the Match, 3/7 off 3 overs): Happy with how I bowled today! Got the ball to land in the right areas, bowled at the right pace and made it move a touch. Can't complain really! Hoping for more of these performances going forward now.

Brett Lee (Australia Champions captain): Pretty clinical win this! Batters were among the runs, bowlers were among the wickets and the fielding was top notch too. So, can't really ask for more! Just have to keep things moving along like this and win some more games, hopefully!

Jacques Kallis (South Africa Champions Captain) - That's what we planned. Well played to Australia as they outplayed us. They didn't mishit too many and credit to them. Few of the boys haven't played too much and to play back-to-back isn't nice but it's funny as well. All the teams are playing back-to-back, so it's fun to watch everyone. The back is not as good as it is used to be

Australia Champions win by 104 runs!

Aaron Finch 49 (25) | Nathan Coulter-Nile - 3/7 (3)
Ryan McLaren - 36* (31) and 3/20 (3)

A disappointing batting performance from South Africa when they needed to step up to the plate! The only consolation for them was batting the overs out. Ryan McLaren tried his best to do something about this scorecard and Neil McKenzie pretty hard to get to 33, but otherwise, the batting was very much a disaster!

Australia on the other hand got it spot on with their bowling! Brett Lee started it off with two wickets up front and Nathan Coulter-Nile followed it up with 3 wickets in 3 overs! The spin duo of Xavier Doherty and believe it or not, Ben Dunk, was miserly with the former turning it a mile and accounting for three opposition batters. In the end, even Daniel Christian took a wicket, bowling leg-spin!

Yes the pitch wasn't the easies to bat on as it got slower, but even then, losing by a margin of over 100 runs is a massive, massive let down for Jacques Kallis and his team. As for Australia, they are on the board now with a tremendous net run rate!

19.6 Dan Christian to Ryan McLaren, spins away from a good length and it's been pulled to wide long-on for a run. Australia Champions get their first win and it's a commanding victory

Final ball of the innings!

19.5 Dan Christian to Charl Langeveldt, backs away and pulls the length delivery down the ground for a single

19.4 Dan Christian to Charl Langeveldt, angles the length delivery and spins away, Langeveldt tries to flick and gets hit on the pads

19.3 Dan Christian to Charl Langeveldt, angles the length delivery on off-stump, Langeveldt opens the blade and dabs it to backward point

19.2 Dan Christian to Charl Langeveldt, SIX! Flighted delivery on middle stump, Langeveldt slog sweeps it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum

19.1 Dan Christian to Charl Langeveldt, flighted delivery outside off, eased down to short extra cover

Final over of the match! The question is, will South Africa be able to bat the full 20 overs out?

Ben Laughlin [2.0-0-15-0] comes back into the attack.

Daniel Christian bowling leg-spin is something we did not expect! But anyhow, he has done a really decent job of it in his first over. South Africa now run the risk of getting bowled out.

17.6 Dan Christian to Charl Langeveldt, spins away from a good length, Langeveldt turns it to short fine leg

17.5 Dan Christian to Charl Langeveldt, spins back from a good length, Langeveldt turns it to short fine leg

Charl Langeveldt, RHB, is at the crease.

That wasn't an easy catch after Paine did not know where the ball was, but in the end, it was a good dive to cling on low down with the dive!
