SA vs AUS 2nd Test: Australia opt to bowl as Kagiso Rabada returns to the eleven

Australia won the toss and elected to field at St George’s Park for the second Test after taking a one-nil lead in the series following a commanding 214-run triumph in Durban. Matt Renshaw starred in the opening fixture with notable knocks of 190 and 82, while Aiden Markram managed a lone 75 for the hosts in the second innings.

South Africa made three alterations to their lineup, welcoming back Kagiso Rabada from a hamstring injury and handing a debut to Marques Ackerman, who is slated to open the batting. Meanwhile, the visitors made a single change by replacing Nathan Lyon with Scott Boland to exploit potential seam movement under heavy cloud cover, with rain forecasts threatening play on both Sunday and Monday.
