# Cricket: A huge task awaits the Proteas in Darwin today where they have to prevent Australia from winning a tenth consecutive T20 match to salvage the three-match series. The hosts defeated the visitors by 17 runs in Sunday’s first match when Tim David was the main destroyer, smashing 83 runs off just 52 balls. When he came in to bat, Australia was struggling on 75 for six but he punished the South African bowlers as the hosts fought back. The Proteas’ batters’ lack of meaningful partnerships then led to the defeat.
