On September 10, 2025, Darwin, Australia — Australia celebrates a victory over Southern Africa by 17 points in the first T20 match. Tim David became the main hero, scoring 83 points from 52 balls, including eight sixes. This game marked a significant moment, as it was the return of international cricket to Darwin after 17 years.

Australia started the game unsteadily, losing five key players in the first six overs, but David and his partner Cameron Green managed to raise the total score to 178. Southern Africa, although they started strong, could not reach the target, finishing the game with 161-9. Josh Hazlewood was effective in his role, taking three crucial wickets.

At the start of the match, the captain of Southern Africa Aidan Markram won the toss and chose to bat first. This decision proved to be unfortunate, as the team quickly lost wickets, but eventually, David and other players managed to stabilize the situation. A key highlight was the performance of young Qwen Maphaka, who became the youngest bowler to take four wickets in a T20 match.

This match opened a three-match series between Australia and Southern Africa, which will continue on the brightest days.
